The common prosperity effect and model of mountain tourism resource development:Taking the Western Hunan Area as an example
In the context of Chinese-style modernization,the common prosperity effect of tourism resource development is explored to point out the direction of exploration for accelerating the high-quality development of tourism industry and realizing the goal of common prosperity.This study clarifies the mechanism of tourism resource development through the income growth effect,infrastructure enhancement effect,culture communication effect and factor flow effect to promote the realization of common prosperity,and constructs a comprehensive evaluation system of tourism resource development in terms of scale and quality.The spatial econometric modeling is applied to empirically test the impact of mountain tourism resource development on the common prosperity based on the relevant data at the district and county level of the Western Hunan Area from 2007 to 2021.Ultimately,it proposes targeted development model optimization strategies based on the real needs of enhancing the value of resources,promoting rural revitalization and contributing to the common prosperity.The results show that:(1)The overall level of tourism resource development in Western Hunan Area shows a gentle growth trend,but the spatial difference is obvious,in which Yongding district and Fenghuang county are always the dominant parties,while Luxi county is in a relatively disadvantageous position.(2)The level of common prosperity in Western Hunan Area continues to improve,but there are still imbalances between districts and counties,with Yongding district,Jishou city and Hecheng district,where the municipal administrative center is located,in the top three.(3)Tourism resource development has a significant positive spatial spillover effect on common prosperity,that is,it can enhance the level of common prosperity in the region and adjacent regions.Both tourism scale and tourism quality can be effective in empowering common prosperity,and the positive effect of tourism quality on common prosperity is better than that of tourism scale.The impact of tourism resource development on common prosperity varies significantly in different regions,with Zhangjiajie city having the largest common prosperity effect of tourism resource development,followed by Huaihua city and Xiangxi prefecture.Guided by the goal of common prosperity,the models of sustainable utilization,quality upgrading,and regional integration for the development of mountain tourism resource are proposed.
