Evaluation of Tourism Transformation and Upgrading and Its Driving Force Spatial Effect in China
The tourism transformation and upgrading is the essential requirement for high-quality development of tourism Based on proportional relationship,labor productivity and resource allocation efficiency of tourism industries,this paper constructs an evaluation index system of tourism transformation and upgrading level characterized by rationalization,advancement and high ef-ficiency,takes 30 provinces(autonomous regions and municipalities)in China as the research object,and uses kernel density es-timation,Theil index,standard deviation ellipse,spatial autocorrelation and other methods to evaluate the tourism transformation and upgrading level in China from 2010 to 2019,objectively reflecting the characteristics of the tourism transformation and up-grading in China.On this basis,the spatial Dubin model is used to explore the spatial effect of driving force involving tourism consumption demand,tourism technology progress and government regulation,and further clarify the internal logic of the tourism transformation and upgrading and its driving force spatial effect.The results are shown as follows:① The level of tourism transformation and upgrading of China has increased year by year,and the spatial evolution trend of the tourism trans-formation and upgrading level in various regions is significantly different,showing a decreasing trend in the order of eastern,western,northeastern and central regions.The region difference of the tourism transformation and upgrading level is fluctuating and increasing,which mainly comes from internal difference.② The tourism transformation and upgrading level continues to gather in the northeast-southwest directions,and the trajectory of the center of gravity generally shifts eastward.The spatial correlation shows a positive correlation development trend,and the regional characteristics of the correlation type are obvious.③Tourism technology progress and government regulation have significant positive spatial spillover effect on the tourism transfor-mation and upgrading.Tourism consumption demand can promote tourism transformation and upgrading in neighboring areas,but has negative effect on local tourism transformation and upgrading due to the unreasonable structure of tourism consump-tion.
