西部地区民航运输与旅游业发展的互动关系

Interaction between civil aviation transportation and tourism development in the western China

基于2005—2019年中国西部12个省级行政区旅游收入和民航客运量面板数据以及2020年旅游景区与机场位置空间截面数据,借助核密度、机场可达性分析和PVAR动态模型,对西部地区民航运输与旅游业发展之间的时空关系进行探究。研究结果显示:(1)西部地区机场布局与旅游资源分布整体协调度较高,但各省级行政区之间的空间协调程度存在一定差异,具体可将省级行政区划分为优质协调发展区、良好协调发展区和初级协调发展区3种类型;(2)西部地区呈现民航运输对旅游业单向影响更强烈的局面,二者并未形成长效互动机制;(3)从控制变量贡献看,财政支出对民航运输业的推动作用更强,旅游业的发展则更依赖于地区经济发展水平和区域陆路交通网络密度,城镇化规模对二者发展都具有一定的支持作用。

In the context of the new round of the development in the western China,civil aviation transportation is an important driving force to promote tourism development there.Based on the panel data of tourism revenue and civil aviation passenger traffic in 12 provincial administrative regions in western China from 2005to 2019 and the spatial cross-section data of tourist attractions and airport locations in 2020,this paper explores the spatio-temporal relationship between civil aviation transportation and tourism development in the western China with the help of kernel density,airport accessibility analysis,and PVAR dynamic model.The results of the study show that:1) The spatial relationship,the overall distribution of tourism resources in the western China and the airport layout basically coincide with each other,and the airport layout is also relatively dense in areas rich in tourism resources,and the spatial correlation between the two is relatively strong;however,there are some differences in spatial coordination among provinces,and from the degree of coordination,it can be classified into three categories:high-quality coordinated development area,well-coordinated development area,and primary coordinated development area;2) The western China presents a situation where civil aviation transportation has a stronger one-way influence on tourism development,and the two have not formed a longterm interactive mechanism.The development of civil aviation transportation in the western China,its own internal driving force has obvious advantages,while the tourism industry's contribution to its development is low,in promoting the development of the civil aviation industry is not obvious;at the same time,the tourism industry in driving its own side also shows a trend of insufficient strength,its own thrust is difficult to support the long-term development of tourism,while civil aviation transportation on its driving force is showing a clear trend of enhancement,which makes the pace of transforming tourism resources into tourism industry in the western China will be inevitably accelerated;3) From the contribution of control variables,financial expenditure on civil aviation transportation industry has a stronger role in promoting the develofiscal expenditure,which has a stronger driving effect on the civil aviation transportation industry.Compared with fiscal expenditure,tourism development is instead more dependent on the level of regional economic development and the density of the regional land transportation network.The size of the urbanization acts a certain supportive role in helping the development of both civil aviation transportation and tourism.
