Research on the Integrated Development of Agriculture and Tourism in Guangxi
The integration of agriculture and tourism has increasingly become a new trend for economic growth in underdeveloped areas of China.This paper constructs a Vector Error Correction Model(VECM)based on the data of the total agricultural output and domestic and international tourism income in Guangxi from 1999 to 2019.Through Cointegration Test,Granger Causality Test,and Variance Decomposition,an empirical analysis of Guangxi's development in agriculture and tourism is conducted.The results indicate that there is no significant bidi-rectional causality between total agricultural output,domestic tourism income,and foreign exchange earnings from tourism.Moreover,the mutual influence between Guangxi's agricultural output and the tourism industry has gradu-ally increased over time.
