The Influence of Tourism Development on the Green Efficiency of Water Resources from the Perspective of Technological Innovation
Tourism development has a strong spatial correlation and high elasticity in the utilization of water resources,which has a greater influence on the green efficiency of water resources.As technological innovation is becoming an important factor driving the improvement of the green efficiency of water resources,it is significant to investigate whether tourism development promotes the green efficiency of water resources from the perspective of technological innovation.Drawing on the panel data of 31 provincial-level regions in China from 2012 to 2021,this paper analyzes the interaction mechanism between tourism development and the green efficiency of water resources from the perspective of technological innovation.The results show that:(1)The mean value of the green efficiency of water resources in China is 0.447,with large internal differences.The overall performance of the green efficiency of water resources in China is eastern>western>central;(2)The influence of tourism development on the green efficiency of water resources presents a U-shaped linear relationship.There are obvious differences in the influence of tourism development on the green efficiency of water re-sources in different regions;(3)Technological innovation is conducive to improving the green efficiency of water resources,and it plays a partial mediating effect in the influence of tourism development on the green efficiency of water resources.Based on the conclu-sions of the study,recommendations are made to improve the green efficiency of water resources,to utilize the positive contribution of the tourism industry,and to increase scientific and technological investment.
