At present, tourism is counted among those industries which have gained global attention due to rapid growth. Hence, a constant diversification in terms of destination is needed in tourism development. The recent trends of industry highlight the demand of alternative tourism types, among which nature-related tourism appears to be an emerging concept. In this regard, the present article investigates the impact of economic conditions and sustainable rural development on the sustainability of tourism development in China. The current research has gathered secondary data from the World Bank from 1981 to 2020. The quartile autoregressive distributed lag model has been applied to test the association between the variables. The results revealed that GDP, inflation, FDI, exchange rate, energy use, gross savings, and sustainable rural development have a significant and positive association with the sustainability of tourism development in China. Findings offer managerial implications recommending the local government to focus on the sustainability of rural development and economic conditions that may lead to the implementation of tourism-related development projects. This study also guides the policymakers in establishing policies related to tourism development using different economic conditions and sustainable rural development.
目前，旅游业是增长迅速而受到全球关注的产业之一。因此，旅游业发展需要目的地的持续多样化。最近的行业趋势凸显了对替代旅游类型的需求，其中与自然相关的旅游似乎是一个新兴概念。在这方面，本文调查了经济条件和可持续农村发展对中国旅游业可持续发展的影响。本研究从世界银行收集了 1981 年至 2020 年的二手数据。四分位自回归分布滞后模型被应用于检验变量之间的关联。结果表明，中国国内生产总值、通货膨胀率、外国直接投资、汇率、能源使用、总储蓄和可持续农村发展与旅游业可持续发展之间存在显著的正相关关系。研究结果提供了管理方面的启示，建议地方政府关注农村发展的可持续性和经济条件，这可能会导致实施与旅游相关的发展项目。本研究还为决策者提供了指导，帮助他们利用不同的经济条件和可持续农村发展制定相关的旅游发展政策。
