Theoretical Analysis and Empirical Test of Agro-tourism Integration for Rural Habitat Improvement
Comprehensively improving the rural habitat is one of the important contents of rural revitalization.Based on the perspective of agro-tourism integration,the impact of agritourism integration on the rural habitat(including the ecological environment,the production environment,and the living environment)and its charac-teristics are empirically investigated based on the panel data of 251 prefectural-level cities in China during the period from 2010 to 2022.The results show that the integration of agro-tourism has a significant positive impact on rural habitat,which mainly comes from the improvement of rural ecological environment and living environment by the integration of agro-tourism.It also reveals that the impact of agro-tourism integration on rural habitats exhibits regional heterogeneity.Notably,the environmental benefits derived from agro-tourism integration are significantly higher in central and western regions compared to the eastern region.Furthermore,it finds that the agro-tourism integration has a positive spatial spillover effect on rural habitats.The develop-ment of agro-tourism not only leads to improvements in the rural living environment within the local city but also exerts a beneficial pull on neighboring cities.Based on this,policy suggestions such as strengthening policy guidance,emphasizing regional differences,and strengthening exchanges and cooperation are proposed to provide theoretical support and policy reference for decision-makers.
