Tourism eco-efficiency is a performance basis for evaluating green total factor productivity and sustainable development.
The objective of this study was to measure tourism eco-efficiency in Inner Mongolia and explore its influencing factors. The aim was to provide an accurate reference for improving the quality and efficiency of tourism in Inner Mongolia and promoting the sustainable development of the regional economy and society.
Tourism eco-efficiency in Inner Mongolia from 2009 to 2019 was calculated using a super-slacks-based measure (SBM) model with an undesirable output. The spatial variation function was used to explore the spatial evolution pattern of tourism eco-efficiency in Inner Mongolia, and the influencing factors of the spatial evolution were analyzed by geographically weighted regression.
Tourism eco-efficiency in Inner Mongolia is relatively low. Eco-efficiency values among cities in Inner Mongolia vary, and their distribution is not balanced. The structural eco-efficiency of tourism in Inner Mongolia has been consistent from 2009 to 2019. The degree of homogenization in the overall direction is relatively good. Furthermore, its spatial distribution form and internal structure evolution show a certain regularity and continuity. The pattern evolution of tourism eco-efficiency in Inner Mongolia is jointly driven by the economic level, environmental regulation, industrial structure, traffic conditions, resource endowment, and tourism reception facilities. These influencing factors show obvious spatial heterogeneity.
From the perspective of Inner Mongolia, the difference in the tourism eco-efficiency value from 2009 to 2019 was relatively large, but the number of effective areas in the efficiency frontier generally showed a fluctuating growth trend. The range parameters of tourism eco-efficiency showed a decreasing trend, and the spatial correlation effect of tourism eco-efficiency in Inner Mongolia showed a decreasing trend under the influence of structural and spatial differentiation.
旅游生态效率是评价绿色全要素生产率和可持续发展的绩效基础。
本研究旨在测度内蒙古旅游生态效率,并探讨其影响因素,以期为提升内蒙古旅游质量和效益、促进区域经济社会可持续发展提供准确参考。
采用超效率 SBM 模型测算 2009—2019 年内蒙古旅游生态效率,并运用空间变异函数揭示内蒙古旅游生态效率的空间演化格局,利用地理加权回归分析其空间演化的影响因素。
内蒙古旅游生态效率水平较低,城市间旅游生态效率值差异较大,分布不均衡,旅游结构效率始终保持在 2009—2019 年的 0.999 左右,整体方向的趋同程度较好,且其空间分布形态和内部结构演变呈现出一定的规律性和连续性。内蒙古旅游生态效率的格局演变是经济水平、环境规制、产业结构、交通条件、资源禀赋和旅游接待设施等多因素共同驱动的结果,这些影响因素具有明显的空间异质性。
从内蒙古全区来看,2009—2019 年旅游生态效率值差异较大,但有效前沿面数量整体呈波动增长趋势,旅游生态效率范围参数呈下降趋势,在结构和空间分异的影响下,内蒙古旅游生态效率的空间相关性效应呈减弱趋势。
