Abstract

Based on the panel data from 148 cities in China's aviation sector spanning the period of 2011-2020, this research explores the influence of air transportation linkage networks on tourism economic development. The research employs various methodologies, including complex network analysis, non-radial Super-SBM model, spatial Markov chain, and dynamic spatial panel Durbin model, to explore spatial evolution patterns and provide empirical evidence. The findings reveal that air transportation linkage networks exhibit a core sub-network characterized by a "diamond" or "overlapping triangle" structure, strengthening network balance, stability, and overlapping effect. The community structure demonstrates an "intertwined and overlapping" pattern in the central-eastern region, while the western region features "edge cities in close proximity". The spatial distribution of tourism economic efficiency levels follows an east > southwest > central > west pattern, the hierarchical solidification of spatial evolution is clearly characterized. Different from the empirical results obtained from previous researches, this research reveals that when a city becomes connected to aviation, it immediately benefits from positive tourism factors due to the spillover of aviation advantages from neighboring cities. Finally, to avoid the negative consequences of agglomeration under balanced competition, China should promote inter-city tourism capital flows, industry-related division of labor cooperation, and knowledge and technology spillover.

Key words
