Abstract

The impact of tourist source region’s network infrastructure in developing countries on household tourism expenditures remains inadequately understood. This study helps fill that gap by using the “Broadband China” strategy as a quasi-natural experiment, exploring the mechanisms by which the construction of network infrastructure impacts rural household tourism expenditures in China. Using the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) data from 2014 through 2018, we found that the Broadband China strategy has made a positive contribution to rural household tourism expenditures, especially in the rural areas of central and northeastern China. In addition, we recognized that the broadening of information channels and the provision of convenient transactions are possible mechanisms of influence, with the expansion of information channels through digital networks having an especially pronounced impact. Our research results emphasize the importance of developing network infrastructure and promoting digital literacy in developing regions, in an effort to stimulate tourism demand.

网络基础设施建设如何影响家庭旅游支出？来自中国农村的实证分析

发展中国家旅游客源地的网络基础设施对家庭旅游支出的影响仍未得到充分了解。本研究以 "宽带中国 "战略为准自然实验，探索网络基础设施建设对中国农村家庭旅游支出的影响机制，有助于填补这一空白。利用中国家庭面板研究（CFPS）2014 年至 2018 年的数据，我们发现 "宽带中国 "战略对农村家庭旅游支出做出了积极贡献，尤其是在中国中部和东北部农村地区。此外，我们认识到，拓宽信息渠道和提供便捷交易是可能的影响机制，而通过数字网络拓展信息渠道的影响尤为明显。我们的研究成果强调了在发展中地区发展网络基础设施和促进数字扫盲以刺激旅游需求的重要性。
