The Spatial Effect of Tourism Development on Common Prosperity:An Empirical Analysis Based on 90 Counties in Zhejiang Province
This paper focused on studying 90 counties in Zhejiang Province and constructed an evaluation system about common prosperity from four dimensions:economic,social,environmental and spiritual.It analyzed the spatial effect of tourism development on common prosperity by using the Spatial Durbin Model.The results of the study showed that:according to the spatial distribution,total affluence and each subsystem affluence showed spatial non-equilibrium.In terms of direct effects,the impact of tourism development on different types of shared affluence was differentiated,with tourism development significantly enhancing environmental affluence and spiritual affluence,but not significantly affecting total affluence,economic affluence and social affluence.In terms of spatial spillover effects,tourism development showed a strong positive spatial spillover effect on the total affluence and environmental affluence of neighbouring counties,while the spatial spillover effects on social affluence,economic affluence and spiritual affluence of neighbouring counties were weaker.In the process of tourism development,attention should be paid to the problem of uneven regional development at the macro level,and the role of tourism development in promoting common prosperity should be properly understood.
