AI Article Synopsis
- The tourism industry has significant potential but also increases energy consumption and environmental strain, particularly in China between 2000-2017.
- Research shows an inverted U-shaped relationship between tourism industry agglomeration and energy/carbon emission efficiency, indicating that while tourism can enhance efficiency, it has varying impacts across regions.
- Policymakers are encouraged to leverage regional tourism strengths and craft specific policies to boost ecological performance while promoting energy conservation and emission reduction.
Article Abstract
The tourism industry is seen as having great potential, but tourism development and tourism activities may increase energy consumption and environmental pressure. Based on the provincial panel data of China from 2000 to 2017, we calculate the energy and carbon emission performance by using the non-radial distance function (NDDF) and further investigate the impact of tourism industry agglomeration on energy and carbon emission efficiency by combining the panel fixed effect model, mediation effect model and quantile regression. Our research results show that there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between tourism industry agglomeration and energy and carbon emission efficiency, and tourism industry agglomeration can improve energy and carbon emission efficiency at present. At the same time, the impact of tourism industry agglomeration on energy and carbon emission efficiency has regional heterogeneity. The industrial structure upgrading plays an important role in the process of tourism industry agglomeration. In addition, with the improvement of energy and carbon emission performance, the impact of tourism industry agglomeration is also different. These findings suggest that policymakers should promote tourism industry agglomeration to realize energy conservation and emission reduction. The Chinese government should focus on the tourism resources and advantages of different regions and formulate differentiated regional policies to improve ecological performance.

Based on the previous studies on the impact of traditional culture on tourists' purchasing intentions, this study aims to further explore the mechanism and boundary conditions regarding the traditional cultural load in tourist souvenir packaging. Through seven simulated experiments (N = 3203), the impact of different degrees of traditional cultural load on tourists' purchasing intentions has been examined, with value perception, cultural identity, and purchase purpose, advancing the research in the field of traditional culture and tourism marketing. The findings provide insights for managers in the industry of tourism and souvenir marketing for their package design.

Based on the analysis of the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of producer services agglomeration and urban green development efficiency in China, this study measures the influence and spatial spillover effects of producer services agglomeration on urban green development. Research results reveal that the specialization agglomeration level of producer services has undergone a dynamic decline process, demonstrating spatial characteristics where the east exhibits higher levels than the west, and the north surpasses the south. In contrast, the diversification agglomeration level of producer services has demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory, characterized by a spatial distribution that is broadly scattered but concentrated on a smaller scale.
