Research On The Spatial And Temporal Differences Of Coupling Coordination Degree Between Tourism And Digital Economy In Guangxi

Tourism is an important field to meet people ’s growing spiritual and cultural needs,and it is also an important pillar industry to drive consumption growth,The steady and rapid development of tourism has a positive impact on national life and social economy.Digital economy is a new economic form with the characteristics of high permeability,and high additionality and strong integration ability.It not only cultivates new momentum for the development of tourism,but also promotes the transformation and upgrading of tourism industry.In the process of tourism and digital economy development,the two are interrelated and interact with each other.On the one hand,the digital economy promotes the efficiency of the tourism industry and strengthens the dominant position of tourists.On the other hand,tourism provides a rich application scenario for the digital economy to help consolidate its development status.The integration trend of the two is increasingly apparent.In the Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of World Tourism Destination and Promoting the High-quality Development of Tourism Industry,Guangxi clearly points out that it is necessary to actively promote the wide application of new technologies such as 5G,artificial intelligence and virtual reality technology in tourism scenes and promote the construction of tourism digitization.Therefore,it is of great significance to explore the coupling and coordination relationship between tourism and digital economy in Guangxi,analyze the influencing factors behind it and put forward corresponding countermeasures and suggestions to accelerate the construction of world tourism destinations and promote the coupling and coordinated development of tourism and digital economy in the whole region.Based on the system theory,’ core-periphery ’ theory and synergy theory,this study qualitatively analyzes the coupling and coordination mechanism between tourism and digital economy and takes the relevant panel data of Guangxi tourism and digital economy from 2010 to2019 as the data basis.On the one hand,it analyzes the development status of tourism and digital economy in Guangxi from a quantitative point of view.On the other hand,with the help of Gini coefficient,Herfindahl index,coefficient of variation,panel vector autoregressive model(PVAR model),gravity center analysis model,gravity center coupling model,coupling coordination degree model,kernel density estimation method and other models and methods,the comprehensive development level,interaction relationship,gravity center coupling situation and coupling coordination level of tourism and digital economy are analyzed in detail.Then,the obstacle degree model and geographical detector are used to explore the main factors affecting the coupling coordination degree of tourism and digital economy,and countermeasures and suggestions are put forward according to the analysis results.The study found that:(1)The comprehensive development level of tourism in Guangxi is increasing year by year,and there are regional differences in the comprehensive development level of tourism in various districts and cities.In space,it mainly forms a ’ core-edge ’ spatial structure that radiates from the center to the periphery;the comprehensive development level of digital economy in Guangxi shows the characteristics of first fluctuating decline and then rising straightly.During the study period,the comprehensive development level of digital economy in each district and city is obviously different,forming a distribution pattern of middle bulge,high north and south,low around,and radiation diffusion from the center to the surrounding.(2)There is a long-term interaction between tourism and digital economy in Guangxi,which is manifested in the positive pulling effect of digital economy on tourism and the obvious supporting effect of tourism on digital economy.(3)During the study period,the coupling degree and coordination degree of tourism and digital economy in each district and city of Guangxi are increasing year by year.In terms of spatial pattern,the coupling degree and coordination degree of tourism and digital economy are characterized by the " core-periphery " distribution from the center to the periphery.(4)Tourism foreign exchange income,inbound tourism reception,number of digital enterprises and patent authorization are the internal obstacle factors that affect the coordinated development of tourism and digital economy in most cities in Guangxi;human capital,government regulation,regional population size and economic development level are the main external driving factors.The interaction between factors is significant,mainly manifested as twofactor enhancement and nonlinear enhancement.The interaction between factors is greater than the influence of single factor.
