THE SPATIAL EFFECT OF AIR TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT ON INBOUND TOURISM:A SPATIAL ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS BASED ON CHINESE PROVINCIAL DATA
Promoting the integrated development of civil aviation passenger transport and inbound tourism is of significant importance for accelerating the recovery of inbound tourism in China.Based on panel data from 31 provinces in China from 2008 to 2019,this study employs the global Moran's I to analyze the spatial autocorrela-tion characteristics of inbound tourism development,and utilizes a spatial panel Durbin model to examine the spa-tial effect of civil aviation passenger transport development on inbound tourism.The research reveals the follow-ing:(1)Inbound tourism development in Chinese provinces exhibits a significant spatial positive correlation,in-dicating that provinces with higher levels of inbound tourism development tend to cluster spatially,as do those with lower levels.However,this spatial clustering feature shows a weakening trend.(2)Civil aviation passenger transport has an important impact on the development of Chinese inbound tourism.Holding other factors constant,a 1％increase in the level of civil aviation passenger transport development leads to a 0.22％expansion in the scale of inbound tourism within the province and a 0.25％reduction in the scale of inbound tourism in adjacent provinces.(3)Inbound tourism development in Chinese provinces is sensitive to the level of road accessibility,openness to the outside world,travel agency reception capacity,and air pollution.However,it is not sensitive to the level of high-speed rail development,tourism resource endowment,and hotel service quality.To enhance the competitiveness of inbound tourism,emphasis should be placed on promoting the high-quality development of civil aviation passenger transport.Additionally,comprehensive and deepened cooperation in civil aviation pas-senger transport should be utilized as a link to optimize the development pattern of inbound tourism in China.
