Population Aging,Consumption Upgrading and Tourism High-Quality Development
Theaing of the population has changed the consumption structure of residents,and also affected the high-qual-ity development of tourism to a certain extent.Based on the provincial panel data from 2011 to 2022,this paper empirically analyzes the impact and mechanism of population aging on the high-quality development of tourism.The results show that population aging has a significant role in promoting the high-quality development of tourism,and the conclusion is still valid after the robustness test.From the perspective of regional heterogeneity,population aging plays a more obvious role in the high-quality development of tourism in the eastern region.From the perspective of mechanism analysis,population aging pro-motes the high-quality development of tourism by improving consumption upgrading;Further through the analysis of spatial effect,the population aging is not only conducive to the high-quality development of tourism in spot region,but also can pro-mote the improvement of the high-quality development level of tourism in adjacent areas.To this end,tourism products and services should be optimized to meet the special needs of the elderly;Strengthen regional cooperation to achieve the sharing of tourism resources and complement each other's advantages;Promote the deep integration of consumption upgrading and high-quality development of tourism.
