Analysis on the Efficiency of Tourism Poverty Alleviation in Hubei Province

Abstract

Tourism poverty alleviation, as the main mode of industrial poverty alleviation, has the characteristics and advantages of strong "hematopoietic function", wide participation of poor people, low production and operation costs, and good poverty alleviation effect. Through the construction of the DEA model, the empirical analysis of the poverty alleviation efficiency of cities (states) in Hubei Province from 2010 to 2016 and the analysis of the Malmquist index is carried out. The conclusions are as follows: The comprehensive efficiency of tourism poverty alleviation in cities (states) of Hubei Province is low, mainly due to scale efficiency. The stock of tourism resources is limited, the level of industrial factors is low, and attention should be paid to the expansion of human resources. The Malmquist productivity index of tourism poverty alleviation in Hubei Province has certain regional aggregation, and space spillover effects and heterogeneity have appeared. It is necessary to pay attention to coordinate the development of regional tourism economy, improve the efficiency of tourism poverty alleviation, and implement tourism precision poverty alleviation.
