Abstract:
The resilience and efficiency of the inbound tourism economy are two significant factors affecting the economic growth recovery and high-quality development of inbound tourism.The entropy method and the DEA-Tobit model were used to measure the resilience level of Chinas inbound tourism economy from 2010 to 2019, the temporal and spatial pattern and obstacle factors were analyzed to explore the impact of resilience on the economic efficiency of inbound tourism. In the end, the growth recovery mechanism of inbound tourism was constructed.The results show that: the overall resilience of Chinas inbound tourism economy is improving, and areas of high resilience gradually spread from the eastern coast to the central and western regions. However, the national average is only 0.246 7, which has a large room for improvement. The positive spatial autocorrelation of inbound tourism economic resilience weakens gradually. The radiation effect of high-high areas and the diffusion effect of low-low areas decrease, while the polarization effect of high-low areas and the hollow effect of low-high areas increase. The main obstacle factors affecting the economic resilience of inbound tourism include the number of inbound tourists, inbound tourism income, economic development level, industrial structure level, market development and openness. When the economic resilience of inbound tourism increases by 1%, its efficiency increases by 0.243 2%. The economic resilience and efficiency of inbound tourism play a role in promoting the growth recovery of inbound tourism.
