Abstract

This paper aims to analyze and explain how urban centrality influences tourism development in a city. Based on the panel data of 295 prefecture-level cities in China from 2005 to 2018, the paper develops explanatory mechanisms and discusses the influence theoretically and empirically. To advance the analysis, this paper constructs a new index for urban centrality. Our empirical findings are as follows: (1) urban centrality promotes tourism income significantly. (2) Mechanism analysis illustrates that urban centrality fosters tourism through the agglomeration and industrial structure effects. (3) Heterogenous analysis suggests that the influence of urban centrality on tourism varies with city sizes and locations.

中国城市旅游经济的决定因素:基于城市中心性的视角

本文旨在分析和解释城市中心性对城市旅游发展的影响。本文基于2005 - 2018年中国295个地级市的面板数据，构建了解释机制，并从理论和实证两方面对其影响进行了探讨。为了推进分析，本文构建了一个新的城市中心性指标。实证结果表明:(1)城市中心性对旅游收入的促进作用显著。(2)机制分析表明，城市中心性通过集聚效应和产业结构效应促进旅游业发展。(3)异质性分析表明，城市中心性对旅游的影响随城市规模和区位的不同而不同。

期刊介绍： Tourism Economics, published quarterly, covers the business aspects of tourism in the wider context. It takes account of constraints on development, such as social and community interests and the sustainable use of tourism and recreation resources, and inputs into the production process. The definition of tourism used includes tourist trips taken for all purposes, embracing both stay and day visitors. Articles address the components of the tourism product (accommodation; restaurants; merchandizing; attractions; transport; entertainment; tourist activities); and the economic organization of tourism at micro and macro levels (market structure; role of public/private sectors; community interests; strategic planning; marketing; finance; economic development).
