“…Some scholars obtained the scores of the tourism development quality by establishing a series of evaluation index systems based on models, such as principal component analysis (PCA), analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and entropy weight method (EWM). Their work suggested that the economic development level, human resources, tourism development level, the tourist resorts, and market prospects can be used to measure the level of high-quality development of tourism [19][20][21][22]. Pha et al evaluated the impact of digital technology on sustainable tourism development by establishing a model based on intelligent tourism technology [23].…”

In the era of big data, the digital economy has become a key driving force for the high-quality development of tourism. Based on the annual panel data of 14 prefectures in Xinjiang from 2008 to 2018, this study proves the positive effect of the digital economy on the high-quality development of tourism. Through the construction of an evaluation index system for the high-quality development, a fixed effects model is used to investigate the relationship between them. Furthermore, mediating effect analysis is employed to study the mechanism. The robustness testing and heterogeneity analysis show the validity and rationality of the model. The results show that (1) The digital economy is an important driving force in the high-quality development of tourism in Xinjiang; (2) The digital economy promotes high-quality development by stimulating the upgrading of the tourism structure; (3) The impact of the digital economy on the high-quality development of tourism in different regions in Xinjiang presents great heterogeneity. The provincial capital presents a more significant effect.

“…Most scholars established the evaluation system of high-quality tourism development from five dimensions of innovation, efficiency, green, openness, and sharing based on the new development concept [22]. Some scholars constructed an index system for tourism product quality, service quality, market quality, facility quality, and environmental quality [23]. In addition, a few scholars evaluated the high-quality development of tourism from the perspective of industrial integration [24].…”

High-quality development is the theme of China’s economic and social development in the new era, the only way to build a powerful tourism economy, and also the objective demand to solve the practical problems and promote the transformation and upgrading of tourism. However, problems such as inefficient operation, environmental pollution, and slow industrial upgrading have become prominent in the development process of China’s tourism industry in recent years, in which a gap exists with the realization of high-quality development goals. Therefore, scientific control of the gap and deviation between the actual development level and the high-quality development goals of tourism is helpful for promoting the green and sustainable development of regional tourism. This study, taking the Taihu Lake Basin as an example, made a systematic and comprehensive evaluation of the spatial-temporal pattern of high-quality development mismatch of tourism from 2010 to 2019, using the health distance model to analyze its spatiotemporal evolution characteristics, and combining the obstacle degree model and qualitative comparative analysis of fuzzy set to analyze its influencing mechanism. The empirical results show that: (1) the mismatch degree of high-quality development of tourism in the Taihu Lake Basin shows a downward trend, and the regional imbalance is prominent, showing polarization characteristics; (2) among the six systems, only the green system and the cultural and tourism resource system are in the matching type, the dominant system of mismatch type is different in each city, and it shows the characteristics of the transformation from external environmental obstacle to internal environmental obstacle in the process of transition from mismatch type to matching type; (3) the spatiotemporal pattern of high-quality development mismatch of tourism is the result of six systems working together, in which the innovative development system is the core driving force, the coordinated development system is the potential driving force, the green development system is the direct driving force, the open development system has the guiding function, the shared development system is the external driving force, and the literature and tourism resource system is the basic driving force. Therefore, the paper puts forward three types of combination paths and corresponding suggestions that can promote the transformation and upgrading of tourism and achieve coordinated development of the Taihu Lake Basin.

“…The five subscales were previously developed and validated , 2018Mira, Mónico, Moura, & Breda, 2017;Mira, Moura, Mónico, & Breda, 2018;Moura, Mónico, & Mira, 2019), with the underlying dimensions of the Quality of Tourism Destinations construct. According to the validation of each subscale, the Quality of Tourism Destinations construct was operationalized through the Development, Economy, Human Resources, Product and Marketing subscales.…”

Em Portugal o turismo tem-se desenvolvido muito nos últimos anos, fruto do investimento que se tem feito na: (i) qualificação dos recursos humanos; (ii) especialização da oferta; (iii) modernização dos processos de gestão das empresas turísticas; (iv) desenvolvimento do marketing; (v) e, no investimento em infraestruturas e outros serviços e produtos complementares à ação turística.Os diversos estudos realizados pelas autoras sobre a perceção dos municípios portugueses (participaram 125 com o total de 134 respostas válidas) sobre o que contribui para a qualidade em turismo, revelou que há um discurso a uma ‘só voz’ quanto à necessidade de diferenciação de produtos, de desenvolver os destinos salientando a sua identidade, de trabalhar em rede e de diferenciar as opções turísticas nas diversas regiões.
