Abstract

Based on the research perspective of spatial econometrics,The paper uses the global spatial autocorrelation Moran's I index,and local indicators of spatial association,to investigate spatial correlation of tourism industry agglomeration and tourism economic growth about 31 provincial areas in Chinese mainland,it constructs a spatial econometric model of tourism industry agglomeration and regional tourism economic growth,to analyze theoretically and test empirically the relationship between tourism industry agglomeration and tourism economic growth of China.The research shows that,the development of tourism industry in China has been accompanied by the process of spatial agglomeration;tourism economic growth has the significant and positive spatial correlation,and it forms a gathering area of tourism economic activities in the eastern region;Meanwhile,tourism industry agglomeration has significant and positive impact on regional tourism economic growth,and it performs remarkable spatial spillover effects,so it causes spatial inequality of tourism economic growth.
