“…In recent years, scholars have linked the agglomeration of service industry with highspeed transportation network, especially high-speed railway network. From the perspective of the economic effect of high-speed railway network, they have analyzed the factors leading to the agglomeration of service industry and their effects [12,13]. At present, a large number of studies have confirmed that the high-speed transportation network, especially the "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed railway network, has a significant impact on reshaping the spatial layout of China's industrial economy [14,15].…”

This study selected the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration as the research area, combining it with the current situation of the transportation development of the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration to construct the urban agglomeration transportation integration index system and evaluate the development status of the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration transportation integration. The study examined the influence mechanism of transportation infrastructure on service industry agglomeration. The results are as follows: (1) From 2011–2020, the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration’s transportation integration index showed a clear upward trend. (2)The development of transport integration in urban agglomerations has heterogeneous effects on local service agglomeration. The development of the integration level of local transportation has a certain inhibitory effect on the agglomeration of local service industry. The transportation integration of the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration plays an important role in promoting the agglomeration of local wholesale and retail industry, transportation, storage and postal services. (3) The transportation integration of urban agglomeration can affect the agglomeration of service industry through the knowledge spillover brought by the free flow of various factors. The knowledge spillover effect caused by local transportation integration can promote the agglomeration of local service industry to a certain extent. The Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration needs to accelerate the construction of trans-provincial and trans-municipal transportation infrastructure, and further improve the connectivity level of the urban agglomeration, so as to promote the integrated development of high-quality transportation in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration.

Impact of high-speed rail on tourism in China

et al. 2022

The “time-space compression” effect of high-speed rail (HSR) has effectively improved the accessibility of the cities and has had a profound impact on tourism. This study explores the impact of HSR on tourism development in cities along HSR lines from the perspective of transfer of transport advantages, then evaluates the impact of HSR on tourism development using panel data of 286 cities in China from 2005 to 2013 by the difference-in-differences (DID) method. The empirical results show that the opening of HSR has significantly increased the tourism revenue and tourist arrivals. These results are still holds after considering endogenous HSR lines placement, and by various robustness checks. Further analysis of nodal effect shows that node cities experienced greater growth in tourism revenue than non-node cities. The analysis of mechanism found that tourism development in node cities relied on hotel industry, while tourism development in non-node cities relied on scenic spots industry. The findings of this study validate the role of HSR as a catalyst for urban tourism development, and reveal the comparative advantages of tourism in different cities under the influence of HSR. This study has important reference value for the development of tourism industry policies in cities along and around HSR lines.

“…China has a vast territory. There is a clear spatial heterogeneity in the effect of transportation infrastructure on tourism development in various regions [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42]. China's HSR, aviation, and tourist arrivals are all large in scale, but due to its vast territory, there are regional imbalances in development.…”

Transportation infrastructure plays an important role in tourism, and the spatial econometric model (GWPR) can offer quantitative support for regionalized development policies in transportation infrastructure. Panel data from 30 provinces were collected for a decade before the COVID-19 pandemic. We show that the GWPR model is a superior tool for assessing the combined impact of transportation infrastructure on tourism and its spatial heterogeneity. The effects of transportation infrastructure on tourism have historically been overwhelmingly positive, with the positive effect of high-speed rail expanding over the decade, while the positive effect of air travel contracted. The combined effects of transportation infrastructure vary across space and time. Additionally, the evolution of the effects exhibits spatial heterogeneity. The 30 provinces in this study are categorized into five types, and targeted implementation strategies for transportation infrastructure are formulated.
