Cultural diffusion and international inbound tourism: Evidence from China

Abstract: Cultural diffusion is an important noneconomic determinant of tourism demand but has received less focus in the literature. This study seeks to address this gap by focusing on the impact of the Confucius Institute, an important institution of Chinese cultural diffusion, on inbound tourism to China. It is shown that the Confucius Institute positively contributes to the Chinese inbound tourism flows, even when the endogeneity of Confucius Institutes is considered. Moreover, the impact of the Confucius Institute … Show more

“…where F ij represents the tourism cooperation links between country i and country j; T i and T j are the number of tourists in country i and country j, respectively; I i and I j are the tourism income of country i and country j, respectively; and D ij is the geographical distance between country i and country j. However, spatial distance [51], time distance [87], and cultural distance [88], etc., can influence the intensity of tourism cooperation to a certain extent. The aspects that affect tourism cooperation make it necessary to modify the gravity model instead of using a single gravity model.…”

“…Finally, this study explores the internal mechanism of film-induced tourism. This study found that in previous research on film and television tourism, scholars had discussed the mechanism of film-induced tourism from identity conversion ( Kantarci et al, 2017 ; Du et al, 2020 ), motivation transfer ( Rittichainuwat and Rattanaphinanchai, 2015 ; Hetland et al, 2016 ; Oviedo-García et al, 2016 ), and demand change ( Kim and Kim, 2018 ; Qiang et al, 2019 ; Teng, 2021 ), however, the research mostly stayed at the basic stage and did not deeply explore its internal mechanism. This study has introduced “empathy” as the medium in which the mechanism occurs and has profoundly expounded that “empathy” as a medium can promote the audience-to-tourist identity change, film watching-to-traveling motivation transfer, and interest-to-expectation demand change, providing profound insights into the development of film and television tourism.…”

“…The Confucius Institute's impact on the volume of foreign tourism to China grows initially and subsequently declines as cultural distance increases. 25 Particularly, several studies reveal that stronger contract enforcement and greater judicial independence promote the development of tourism. 26 A substantial body of research demonstrates that air quality has a significant impact on tourists' decisions and that demand for tourism is increasingly susceptible to climate change.…”
