There is a dearth of empirical studies looking at the link between green economic development and tourism in quantifiable terms. Using panel data from China's 30 provinces from 2005 to 2018, this study investigates the impact of green finance on China's tourism industry. Using renewable energy, income per capita, carbon emissions, and urbanizations as explanatory factors is also utilized. According to estimation, the findings reveal that green finance substantially impacts the tourism business. This positive effect is more pronounced in provinces where economic and social conditions are better, thus boosting the region's tourism industry. The same holds for income per capita, renewable energy, and environmental factors. In addition, urbanization has a negligible effect on the variable being studied. A further way to boost the growth of tourism is through the use of green finance. The empirical findings can benefit China's green financial planning and environmental sustainability.
从可量化的角度来看，关于绿色经济发展与旅游业之间联系的实证研究较为匮乏。本研究利用2005年至2018年中国30个省份的面板数据，考察绿色金融对中国旅游业的影响。同时还将可再生能源、人均收入、碳排放和城市化作为解释因素。根据估计结果显示，绿色金融对旅游业有显著影响。这种积极影响在经济和社会条件较好的省份更为明显，从而推动了该地区旅游业的发展。人均收入、可再生能源和环境因素也是如此。此外，城市化对所研究变量的影响可忽略不计。促进旅游业增长的另一种方式是通过使用绿色金融。实证研究结果有助于中国的绿色金融规划和环境可持续性发展。
