Impact and Transmission Mechanism of Digital Economy Development on Tourism Carbon Emissions—A Sample Study Based on Pilot Cities of Smart Tourism
Under the new development pattern,the digital economy has become a new engine to promote green economic development and achieve the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.Based on theoretical analysis in the impact of digital economy on tourism carbon emissions,the researcher collected the panel data of thirty-two pilot cities of smart tourism from 2008 to 2021 to build an index system of digital economy,and tested the impact mechanism of digital economy on tourism carbon emissions by panel fixed effect model and regulatory effect model.The results show that there is an inverted U nonlinear relationship between digital economy and tourism carbon emissions,and this conclusion is still valid after endogenous test.The mechanism analysis shows that promoting ur-ban green innovation and upgrading industrial structure are important ways for digital economy to realize tourism carbon emission reduction.The heterogeneity analysis shows that the digital economy has a more significant effect on tourism carbon emission reduction in big cities and central cities.
