This study investigates the spatial characteristics of tourism industry agglomeration in Southwest China and its impact on tourism economic growth, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for regional planning. Using panel data from five provinces (Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Chongqing, and Tibet) between 2005 and 2020, the research employs the location entropy method to measure clustering levels and a Spatial Durbin Model (SDM) with fixed effects to analyze the impact mechanisms.
The empirical results indicate that the degree of tourism agglomeration in Southwest China is high and has steadily increased over the study period. Regression analysis reveals that tourism industry agglomeration has a significant positive direct effect on tourism economic growth (coefficient=0.452). Additionally, a significant positive spatial spillover effect ( =0.312) was observed, demonstrating that tourism development in neighboring regions constructively influences local economic growth.
The study also identifies transportation infrastructure, human capital, and urbanization as key mediating factors that further drive development. Based on these findings, it is recommended that policymakers strengthen regional cooperation, optimize industrial layouts, and enhance infrastructure and talent development to promote high-quality, coordinated regional tourism growth.
