“…HSR in China is likely to play a significant role in driving tourists to more inland regions and be constructive in developing the depth of the tourism market space. As demonstrated in Li et al (2016), tourism development in China can narrow its regional income inequality. Facilitating HSR in less-developed areas with high tourism potential can therefore be a means to promote economic growth and alleviate inequality.…”

This work aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the association between high‐speed rail (HSR) operation and tourist arrivals in China. A panel data of 238 prefecture‐level cities from 2003 to 2013 is analyzed, using both system generalized method of moments estimation and synthetic control methods. Nationwide, HSR implementation generates sizable tourist inflows, with stronger effect for international arrivals than for domestic ones. Furthermore, heterogeneous HSR impacts are identified through the lens of urban agglomeration: (a) Connection with core cities is quintessential in channeling international customers to the hinterlands, and (b) national cores and hinterlands benefit prominently whereas regional cores lose from HSR accessibility.

“…Although there are studies that point to a typical change in the attitude of people when the tourist influx increases (Li, Chen, Li, & Goh, 2016;Liu & Var, 1986;Russell, 2003;Tucker, 2016), on the perception that residents in a place have about tourism development (Andereck, Valentine, Knopf, & Vogt, 2005;Haralambopoulos & Pizam, 1996;Liu, Sheldon, & Var, 1987) and its sociocultural impact on the visited commune (Korstanje, 2012;Milman & Pizam, 1988;Tosun, 2002), it is worth to highlight the positive attitude of the members of these communities, the facilities they provide to tourism and the local development evoked by it. However, a solid sustainable development proposal has not yet materialized, which can be complemented with a new study on this regard, analysing other variables of support (Nunkoo & Gursoy, 2012;Stamenkovic, 2012;Torres-Delgado & Palomeque, 2014).…”

“…By having strong and sustainable relations with food sector, agriculture, and low industries, hence creating healthy regional synergies, the tourism proves to help the poorer regions (Hjerpe, 2018;Ferrari, Mondéjar Jiménez and Secondi, 2018). Evidence from China suggested tourism is a factor contributing significantly to the reduction of the core-periphery differences (Li et al, 2016), although national tourism have a greater impact than the international tourism upon the convergence speed. While tourism is an important sector which promotes economic growth and could help the less developed regions, it should be mentioned that its multiplier effect is largely dependent upon the local and regional tourism policies (Huse, Gustavsen and Almedal, 1998).…”

Tourism is considered an opportunity for ensuring sustainable growth and reducing economic gaps for many less developed countries and regions. Being one of the most dynamics industries, tourism proves to be strongly resilient, with a high level of involvement and multiplication for receiver economies. The multiplication potential is, however, dependent upon a series of factors (endogenous and exogenous), insufficiently analysed in the literature, and the impact on growth and convergence is controversial. This paper aims to bring additional insights from this perspective, the main purpose of the research being to identify the macroeconomic determinants responsible for the higher values of the tourism multiplier effect and to highlight the potential of this industry to reduce the disparities between the economies of the European Union EU. Using the Stepwise regression and a series of indicators that associate the economic, social and spatial dimensions of European tourism, the main determinants of multiplier effects (on GDP and job creation) are identified and, then, the processes of multiplication from the perspective of centre-periphery dynamics are analysed. The research results indicated that tourism development in the Union reflects a centre-periphery model and has a high potential for contributing to reducing intra-EU disparities.
