Research on the Influence Mechanism of ICT Capital on the Efficiency of Tourism Green Development
ICT capital empowers the green transformation of tourism and drives tourism to the path of high-quality development.This study innovatively accounts the ICT capital and tourism green development efficiency in 30 Chinese provinces and cities,and verifies the influence mechanism of ICT capital on tourism green development efficiency and its spatial spillover effect using SYS-GMM and spatial Durbin model.The results suggest that:(1)ICT capital has a continuous positive impact on tourism green development efficiency.(2)ICT capital mainly improves tourism green development efficiency by stimulating tourism technology innovation,optimizing tourism industry structure,and enhancing tourism human capital.(3)ICT capital has a positive spatial spillover effect on tourism green development efficiency,and the spatial indirect effect is stronger than the direct effect.Under the geographic matrix,ICT capital has a significant spatial spillover effect on tourism green development efficiency in eastern and western provinces and cities;while under the economic matrix,tourism green development efficiency in eastern and central provinces and cities is more significantly affected by ICT capital.This provides a value guide for China to fully release ICT capital dividends,shape China's tourism green development pattern,and comprehensively improve tourism green development efficiency.
