Abstract

Tourism exerts a great effect on the modern economy and relies largely on the flow of people facilitated by high-quality transportation infrastructure. Applying a spatial econometric method, this paper investigates the effect of high-speed rail (HSR) on tourism expansion in China from the view of the spatial spillover effect. Based on a 276 Chinese cities’ panel dataset over 2005–2019, a positive role of HSR in tourism expansion is observed. Compared with cities unconnected to the HSR network, cities accessible by HSR experienced a 22% increase in tourism revenue and a 38% rise in tourist arrivals. In addition, the connection of a city to the HSR network also exerts a great spatial spillover role in the increase of tourism revenue and arrivals in peripheral cities which are not directly connected by HSR. The research findings offer important insights on the relationship between transportation infrastructure and tourism with significant policy implications regarding tourism development.

中国高铁与旅游扩张:空间溢出效应视角

旅游业在现代经济中发挥着巨大的作用，在很大程度上依赖于高质量的交通基础设施所促进的人流。本文运用空间计量经济学方法，从空间溢出效应的角度考察了高铁对中国旅游扩张的影响。基于2005-2019年276个中国城市的面板数据，我们观察到高铁在旅游扩张中的积极作用。与未连接高铁网络的城市相比，高铁可达城市的旅游收入增长了22%，游客人数增长了38%。此外，城市与高铁网络的连接对非高铁直接连接的周边城市的旅游收入和游客数量的增加也有很大的空间溢出作用。研究结果对交通基础设施与旅游之间的关系提供了重要的见解，对旅游发展具有重要的政策意义。
