“…As for the mediation variable, following Tosun et al [56], Elshaer et al [57], and Kaaristo [58], this paper uses the rural ecological environment and urbanization as mediation variables. Following Ishikawa and Fukushige [59], Um and Chung [60], Figueira et al [61], and Novoa [62], three control variables are used in this paper. They are rural fiscal expenditure, rural infrastructure, and industrialization.…”

With the continuous promotion of China’s new rural construction, rural tourism is considered to be an important driving force to promote the sustainable development of rural economy. Sustainable farmers’ income is a major part of the sustainable development of rural economy. Therefore, this paper attempts to explore the effect of rural tourism on sustainable farmers’ income. Using China’s provincial panel data over the period of 2003 to 2020 and employing the mediation effect model to perform empirical analysis, four results are obtained: (1) rural tourism positively and significantly affects sustainable farmers’ income. However, among five kinds of farmers’ income, the coefficients in magnitude are different. (2) A mediation effect of rural ecological environment on the relationship between rural tourism and sustainable farmers’ income exists. (3) A mediation effect of urbanization on the relationship between rural tourism and sustainable farmers’ income also exists. (4) On the whole, the mediation effect of rural ecological environment on the relationship between rural tourism and sustainable farmers’ income is less than that of the mediation effect of urbanization. Based on the evidence this paper provides, corresponding suggestions are raised to promote sustainable farmers’ income.

Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, it is the first time that a reflection with experts of the local Portuguese economy has been carried out, especially after a difficult period of COVID.

“…Thus the management of any business organization is basically the management of humans as the most important production resource. This paradigm implies that there has been a shift in three things, namely the technology needed, products/services that are competitive in knowledge, and human capital that can learn and grow competitiveness (Figueira, Honrado, & Dionísio, 2021). Therefore, an appropriate management strategy is needed to assess the performance of this kind of organization.…”
