Tourism Economic Effects of High-level Scenic Spots and Their Spatial Association Mechanisms:An Empirical Study of 225 Prefecture-level Cities in China
Scenic spot resources will affect the development model of regional tourism economy,and there will be synergistic interaction between high-level scenic spot resources in a specific space.Based on the data of 225 prefecture-level cities in China from 2012 to 2019,this paper comprehensively analyzed the tourism economic effects of high-level scenic spots and their spatial correlation mechanisms by using spatial econometric methods.The findings are as follows:1)High-level scenic spots contribute to the positive driving of local tourism economic development by accelerating tourism sector agglomeration and promoting the development of supporting industries such as accommodation and catering;2)there is a significant positive spatial spillover effect in high-level scenic spots,but the effect has spatial distance constraints and regional heterogeneity;3)the supply of high-quality tourism elements represented by high-speed rail stations and five-star hotels will help to enhance the spatial spillover effect of high-level scenic spots,and the convenience of transportation will positively promote the economic benefits of tourist spots,while the development of cultural and entertainment sector will negatively impact the traditional tourism products represented by high-level scenic spots;4)the construction of high-level scenic spots cannot significantly promote the growth of tourism economy in areas with better economic development;Higher regional growth targets will also drag down the investment intensity and economic contribution of high-level scenic spots.Therefore,to promote the development and utilization of regional tourism resources,it is necessary to strengthen regional cooperation arrangements,accelerate the spatial aggregation of tourism industry,and build an effective spatial tourism industry chain.Through the construction of high-quality infrastructure,the effective spatial correlation of high-level scenic spots should be strengthened,and the integration of traditional tourism products and new tourism products should be promoted.Fully tap the economic effect of high-level scenic spots,and make them an important driving force to promote regional economic growth.
