Does Internet Development Suppress the Total Factor Productivity of Tourism:Based on the Causes,Characteristics and Resolution of"Solow Paradox"
Improving the total factor productivity of tourism is the key to achieving high-quality tourism development.As an important carrier of driving economic and social development in the information age,what impact does the Internet have on tourism total factor productivity?This paper uses entropy the method and Malmquist index method to measure the level of Internet development and total factor productivity of tourism in various provinces from 2013 to 2020,and systematically examines the impact of Internet development on total factor productivity of tourism.The study found that Internet applications significantly inhibited the total factor productivity of tourism,verifying the existence of the"Solow paradox"hypothesis in tourism.The main reason lies in the non-adaptive impact of Internet applications on the allocation of tourism elements.Heterogeneity test and mechanism analysis show that the"Solow Paradox"mainly exists in the central and western regions,the areas with weak information infrastructure and poor innovation ability.The main causes are the technological lag effect and the substitution effect of factors of Internet application to form an adaptive impact on tourism development.In addition,tourism industrial structure upgrading can play the role of factor balance and industrial upgrading,and adjust the relationship between the Internet and the total factor productivity of tourism to effectively avoid the"Solow paradox".
