摘要: 数字经济作为实现经济高质量发展的新型产业驱动力，如何借助数字经济这个新引擎实现我国旅游业的高质量发展成为现在炙手可热的研究话题，本文以2011~2020年中国30个省份为研究对象，借助双固定计量模型及中介效应模型探究数字经济对我国旅游业高质量发展是如何赋能以及数字经济对我国旅游业高质量发展影响的传导机制。结果表明：在2011~2020年之间数字经济和旅游业高质量发展水平均呈现出上升趋势；基准回归结果显示数字经济对旅游业高质量发展存在显著的正向促进作用；中介模型结果显示教育水平与消费结构在数字经济对旅游业高质量发展的影响中发挥中介作用。

Abstract: As a new industrial driving force for achieving high-quality economic development, the digital economy has become a hot research topic on how to leverage this new engine to promote the high-quality development of China’s tourism industry. This paper takes 30 provinces in China from 2011 to 2020 as the research objects and uses the double fixed effect model and the mediation effect model to explore how the digital economy empowers the high-quality development of China’s tourism industry, as well as the transmission mechanism of the digital economy’s impact on the high-quality development of China’s tourism industry. The results show that both the digital economy and the high-quality development level of the tourism industry have shown an upward trend between 2011 and 2020; the benchmark regression results show that the digital economy has a significant positive promoting effect on the high-quality development of the tourism industry; the mediation model results show that the education level and consumption structure play a mediating role in the impact of the digital economy on the high-quality development of the tourism industry.
