Spatiotemporal Dynamic Evolution of the Cultural Tourism Integration Development Efficiency and Its Driving Mechanism in China
Promoting the cultural tourism integration development efficiency is an important issue associated with both culture and tourism integration and its development in terms of changes in efficiency and quality.Thus,effectively grasping its dynamic evolution characteristics and driving mechanism is of great theoretical and practical significance in promoting the transformation and upgrading of the regional cultural industry and tourism industry,as well as improving quality and efficiency,and its deep integration and high-quality development.A framework for analyzing the cultural tourism integration development efficiency was constructed and various models,including the coupled coordination,super efficiency slacks-based measure,spatial Markov chain,and spatial panel Durbin models,were used to explore the spatiotemporal dynamic characteristics and driving factors of the efficiency of integration development of culture and tourism between 2011 and 2019 in China.We made the following findings.(1)The cultural tourism integration development efficiency increased by only 3.4%in 9 years in China,with at least 17.3%potential room for expansion to the best production frontier;the four major regions of the country were ranked as east>central>west>northeast,and only four provinces,Tianjin,Shanghai,Guangdong,and Yunnan,have consistently reached the best production frontier.Other provinces still had at least 6.7%to 33.9%potential space.(2)The cultural tourism integration development efficiency conformed roughly to the spatial pattern of"high-value agglomeration along the southeastern coastal regions and low-value agglomeration in the northwestern inland regions".There were significant instances of path dependence and the Matthew effect,indicating the difficulties associated with achieving great-leap-forward development within a short time.However,when adjacent to efficient provinces,the probability of the cultural tourism integration development efficiency in local provinces transferring upwards increases.(3)The industrial structure and traffic level were the main factors that promoted the cultural tourism integration development efficiency in local provinces,but had a negative spillover effect on the cultural tourism integration development efficiency in neighboring provinces.In addition,although technological innovation,consumer demand,and government regulation have boosted the cultural tourism integration development efficiency in neighboring provinces,the driving effect on local provinces was not yet significant;The service team has suppressed the efficiency of integration development of cultural and tourism in local provinces,but the spillover effect on neighboring provinces was not significant.This study sheds new insights into the research on the cultural tourism integration development efficiency in the context of quality change from the perspective of an efficiency perspective.Moreover,it helps to provide a reference and basis for the deep integration and high-quality development of culture and tourism in China.
