Research on the Efficiency and Spatial-temporal Evolution of Culture-tourism Integration in Henan Province
The researchers selected the data of 17 provincially-administered cities and Jiyuan Demonstration Area in Henan Province from 2012 to 2021 and used the data envelopment analysis method to evaluate the efficien-cy of culture-tourism integration to reveal its differences and trends.The results show that the overall efficiency is not high,but the total factor productivity is on the rise;the high efficiency value area is mainly distributed in the central,western and northern regions,and it shows a decreasing trend from northwest to southeast;the spatial cor-relation degree of the integration efficiency is low,and Zhengzhou City,Luoyang City and Jiaozuo City show the high agglomeration phenomenon of technical efficiency and scale efficiency.Based on these research results,this research proposes suggestions such as optimizing resource allocation,implementing cross-border integration strate-gies,optimizing spatial layout,implementing regional driving strategies,optimizing product quality,promoting the development of emerging formats,optimizing regional cooperation,and promoting regional innovation and develop-ment,so as to promote the high-quality integration and sustainable development of the culture and tourism industry in Henan Province.
