Direct and spillover effects of tourism development on common prosperity
Common prosperity is the essential requirement of Chinese path to modernization,and high-quality development is the fundamental way to achieve common prosperity.And tourism has many advantages in the process of realizing common prosperity,such as its natural attribute of enriching people and its characteristics of adjusting income distribution.Therefore,it is of great practical significance to explore the impact of tourism high-quality development on common prosperity.However,there are few empirical studies on the impact of tourism on common prosperity,and even fewer on the spatial spillover effect of tourism on common prosperity from the perspective of high-quality development.Therefore,based on the panel data of Chinese 262 prefecture-level cities,this paper uses the entropy method,spatial autocorrelation analysis and spatial econometric model to measure the spatio-temporal evolution of the level of tourism high-quality development and common prosperity,and tests the direct effect and spatial spillover effect of the impact of tourism high-quality development on common prosperity and its four dimensions(development,commonality,sharing and sustainability).The results show that:(1)Both tourism development and common prosperity show an increasing trend year by year,but both the differences between cities are increasing.Tourism development and common prosperity in most cities have not exceeded the overall average,and the overall development level is low.(2)Tourism development and common prosperity have high spatial agglomeration characteristics,and the Beijing-Tianjin region and Yangtze River Delta are the common high-value agglomeration areas of tourism development and common prosperity.Common prosperity has obvious characteristics of"high administrative level driving".(3)There is a significant positive spatial correlation between tourism development and common prosperity,but it showed a decreasing trend over time.The number of H-H and L-L cities gradually decreased,H-L cities increased,and L-H cities remained basically unchanged.(4)Tourism development has significant positive direct effect and spatial spillover effect on common prosperity,and the intensity(total effect)sequence of tourism development on dimensions of common prosperity is as follows:development>sustainability>sharing>commonality.(5)The effect of tourism development and common prosperity showed obvious regional heterogeneity,among which the direct effect order is:west>central>east,south>north.At the same time,the western region has a negative spillover effect,while the southern region shows a positive spillover effect.
