Characteristics of change of the structural resilience of China's inter-provincial tourism economic network and the formation mechanism of differences
The structural resilience of the tourism economic network is a structural guarantee for the stability and resilience of the tourism economy,and is an important point for the future recovery and revitalization of the tourism economy.Based on China's inter-provincial panel data from 2001 to 2022,and on the basis of constructing the spatial correlation of China's inter-provincial tourism economy with the help of the modified gravity model,this study used the complex network theory,computer simulation,and fsQCA to explore the characteristics of change of structural resilience of China's inter-provincial tourism economic network and the formation mechanism of differences.The results show that:1)The structural resilience of China's inter-provincial tourism economic network showed a fluctuating trend of rising-declining-rising in the study period,and there were regional differences in space,with stronger structural resilience in the tourism economic network of Beijing,Tianjin,Shanghai,Zhejiang,and Jiangsu.2)The hierarchical nature of China's inter-provincial tourism economic network had been decreasing,and the hierarchical difference between the core and the periphery had gradually narrowed;the network was heterogeneous,with more significant network flattening characteristics in Zhejiang,Jiangsu,and Guangdong provinces;the network had good transmission ability,with relatively high network accessibility and diffusion in provincial-level units such as Heilongjiang,Jilin,and Xinjiang;the network agglomeration effect had increased,with Liaoning and Shandong provinces having relatively strong network agglomeration.3)The structural resilience of China's inter-provincial tourism economic network showed phased change characteristics with the increase of attack ratio,the network showed robustness under random attacks,and the vulnerability of the network became more significant under deliberate attacks.4)The reasons for the differences in the structural resilience of China's inter-provincial tourism economic networks were asymmetric,with economy-driven and economy and government-led being the antecedent configurations for high structural resilience of the tourism economic networks,and low structural resilience of the tourism economic networks being caused by insufficient supply of acquired conditions such as transportation accessibility and information technology level,as well as the lack of strong economic power.The results of this study can provide a practical reference for promoting the high-quality development of the tourism economy.
