Evaluation of sustainability of rural gourmet tourism:based on comparative perspective analysis
To assess the sustainable development capacity of rural gourmet tourism,this study used the degree of internalization of resource externalities and the elasticity of labor output as two indicators to measure its re-source utilization level and labor productivity,and applied the ordinary least squares method and bootstrap method to compare the two indicators of three rural tourism modes using survey data from 47 counties.The re-sults showed that:(1)The market size of rural gourmet tourism accounted for a prominent proportion in rural tourism,and the inherent rural resources it used had generated externalities;(2)The rural gourmet tourism had not fully internalized the resource externalities,suggesting a low level of resource utilization;(3)The elasticity of full-time and part-time labor output in rural gourmet tourism was significantly positive at the 1％level,indicating that the input of labor factors had a positive effect on its revenue growth.(4)As comparison objects,rural accommodation tourism and rural education tourism exhibited low resource utilization level,the former had high labor productivity,while the latter had low labor productivity,and rural gourmet and accom-modation tourism had stronger sustainability than rural education tourism.
