Coordinated Relationship and Interactive Response between Provincial-level Cultural Tourism Economy and the Construction of the Rule of Law in Cultural Tourism
This paper measures the levels of cultural tourism(C&T)economic development and the construction of the rule of law in cultural tourism in 31 provincial-level regions of China from 2012 to 2021.It uses the spring model to assess the pressure states,the coupled coordination model and Markov model to determine their coordination development degree and spatio-temporal evolution trend.It investigates their causal and interactive response relationship by the means of the PVAR model.The results show that:1)The level of C&T economic development shows the fluctuating upward trend.The level of the construction of the rule of law in cultural tourism is on a steady upward trend.The spatial pattern of both shows a decreasing distribution from the coastal region to the inland areas of China.Pressure on the C&T economic development and the construction of the rule of law in cultural tourism is accumulating,with more pressure in the northeastern and western regions than the eastern and central regions.2)The degree of coupling coordination is increasing and regional disparities are shrinking.The coupling coordination type is mostly economic lag type.The state of coupling coordination is relatively stable,with the characteristic of"club convergence".The regional rank states have spatial spillover effects on neighboring provincial-level regions.3)There is a long-run equilibrium relationship between the two systems,with mutual Granger causality.Both are influenced by themselves and each other,constituting alternating positive and negative effects.The influence of the C&T economic development on the construction of the rule of law in cultural tourism has become greater than the effect of the construction of the rule of law in cultural tourism on the C&T economic development.The conclusions of the study provide theoretical support and practical reference for the high-quality,efficient,and coordinated development of China's C&T economic development and the construction of the rule of law in cultural tourism.
