Abstract
Utilizing data from all 31 provinces in China from 2010 to 2022, this study examines the effect of tourism development and rural digitalization on regional green total factor productivity. Empirical findings support that tourism development positively affects regional green total factor productivity. Rural digitalization improves regional green total factor productivity (TFP) and moderates the relationship between tourism development and this productivity metric; moderating effects exhibit heterogeneity across regions. The impact of tourism development on green total factor productivity exhibits regional variation.
