Spatio-Temporal Differentiation and Spatial Evolution of Cultural and Tourism Integration in Cheng-Yu District
This paper examines the cultural and tourism integration level of 15 prefecture-level cities in Sichuan Province and Chongqing using panel data spanning from 2008 to 2021.The study explores the spatial-temporal differentiation characteristics and spatial evolution patterns of integration while empirically examining internal and external factors that influence the integration of the cultural and tourism industries.The results reveal significant imbalances and polarization in the integration of cultural and tourism industries in the corridor,with Chengdu and Chongqing notably leading among the 14 cities studied.The degree of integration between the cultural and tourism industries has experienced slow growth,limited trend in regional integration,and a noticeable siphon effect.Furthermore,a"Matthew effect"phenomenon is identified in this study and indicates an absence of catch-up among cities.Cities with higher integration levels tend to be more integrated overall,with declining spatial correlation.Additionally,factors related to the tourism industry exert a stronger influence on promoting integration compared to those associated with the cultural industry.Therefore,in order to better promote the in-depth integration of culture and tourism industry in Chengdu-Chongqing area,we should strengthen the implementation of an integration and cooperation mechanism,prioritizing major projects and adopting digital technology in cultural tourism,implementing differentiated strategies,and innovating in the integration of cultural and tourism environments.
