Abstract

The comprehensive impacts of different transportation systems on tourism development (TD) are becoming more and more profound. High-speed rail (HSR) and air transport (AT), two closely related, convenient, and fast-traffic options, have increasingly become the preferred choice for travelers. Based on a panel data set of 287 cities in China from 2011 to 2019, the impacts of HSR and AT operations on TD and the heterogeneity of these impacts are explored by using multi-period difference-in-differences (DID) and dose–response (DR) models. The results reveal that AT operation and the simultaneous operations of HSR and AT (HSR-AT operations) have a positive and significant impact on TD. However, the significance of the positive impact of HSR operation on TD is not stable. Furthermore, HSR operation and AT operation have different impacts on the TD of the cities in various regions and the cities with various tourism resource endowments. The findings by the DR model indicate that there are differences in terms of the level of HSR and AT operations in small-medium cities compared to large cities. Meanwhile, HSR and AT operations have different impacts on various classes of cities, and the impacts of HSR and AT operation levels on the TD is positive. The obtained results imply that when seizing the development opportunities of HSR and AT to promote TD, administrators should implement different strategies according to local conditions and the current status of TD.

高铁和航空运输对中国旅游业发展的综合影响

不同交通系统对旅游业发展（TD）的综合影响越来越深刻。高铁（HSR）和航空（AT）这两种密切相关、方便快捷的交通方式日益成为旅游者的首选。本文基于 2011 年至 2019 年中国 287 个城市的面板数据，采用多期差分（DID）和剂量反应（DR）模型，探讨了高铁和航空运输运营对运输量的影响及其异质性。结果显示，自动售检票系统的运营以及高铁和自动售检票系统的同时运营（高铁-自动售检票系统运营）对运输署有积极和显著的影响。然而，高铁运营对运输总成本的积极影响的显著性并不稳定。此外，高铁运营和空铁运营对不同区域城市和不同旅游资源禀赋城市的运输总周转量的影响也不尽相同。DR模型的研究结果表明，与大城市相比，中小城市的高铁和空铁运营水平存在差异。同时，高铁和空铁运营对不同等级城市的影响不同，高铁和空铁运营水平对TD的影响为正。研究结果表明，在抓住高铁和空铁的发展机遇促进运输发展时，管理者应因地制宜，根据运输发展现状采取不同的策略。

期刊介绍： Transportation Research: Part A contains papers of general interest in all passenger and freight transportation modes: policy analysis, formulation and evaluation; planning; interaction with the political, socioeconomic and physical environment; design, management and evaluation of transportation systems. Topics are approached from any discipline or perspective: economics, engineering, sociology, psychology, etc. Case studies, survey and expository papers are included, as are articles which contribute to unification of the field, or to an understanding of the comparative aspects of different systems. Papers which assess the scope for technological innovation within a social or political framework are also published. The journal is international, and places equal emphasis on the problems of industrialized and non-industrialized regions. Part A''s aims and scope are complementary to Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, Part C: Emerging Technologies and Part D: Transport and Environment. Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review. Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour. The complete set forms the most cohesive and comprehensive reference of current research in transportation science.
