“…The index system of digital economy composite index (DIG) is established in accordance with the research that has already been conducted [ 62 , 63 ], as shown in Table 1 . Weighing the sub-dimensional indicators of the digital economy and calculating the comprehensive index are accomplished using the principal component analysis method and the improved entropy value method.…”

(1) Background: In light of the global economy’s digitalization and the “double carbon” target constraint, the digital economy is essential to fostering scientific and technological innovation, green growth, and lowering energy emissions. (2) Methods: This paper measures the digital economic index and carbon emission intensity and analyzes their characteristics in spatial and temporal dimensions using 282 Chinese urban panel data by improving various statistical methods of panel data, such as the entropy method, fixed effect model, multi-period DID model, moderating effect model and intermediary effect model. This paper examines the extent and mechanism of the digital economy’s impact on urban carbon emissions. (3) Results: During the sample period, the overall trend of the digital economy in China was one of constant growth, showing an unbalanced distribution pattern of “high in the eastern regions, lower in the central regions and lowest in the western regions” in the spatial dimension. Carbon emissions can be significantly decreased by the digital economy, which has a dynamic effect and an inverted U-shaped trend in its influence. The digital economy plays a significant role in reducing carbon emissions through the rational layout of industrial structures. The transmission mechanisms for the digital economy’s goal of reducing carbon emissions include environmental regulation and green technology innovation. (4) Conclusion: The research findings provide a reference for multiple decision makers to better formulate carbon emission policies and realize carbon emission decrease in the digital economy.

“…It covers the configuration of ecological agriculture and leisure, natural landscape, hot spring recreation, flora and fauna viewing, tourism local specialty cultivation, tourism souvenir supply, cultural and creative product design, tourism equipment and entertainment facility manufacturing, scenic cable cars, shuttle buses, and other transportation means. Tourism industry development provides many rich landing and application scenarios for technological innovation, involving the whole economic and social development of food, accommodation, transportation, tourism, shopping, and entertainment (Zheng et al, 2017). The penetration of informatization is empowering the tourism industry with fullscene, multi-temporal, and high-frequency characteristics.…”

“…In addition, this paper also uses the entropy method to effectively measure tourism industry development, technological innovation, and informatization. The informatization is only measured by a single dimension or a simple combination of several indicators in existing research (Zhao et al, 2022;Fang and Wang, 2022), and only covers a specific type of industry, such as the degree of informatization in the fisheries and industrial sectors (Ji and Li, 2021;Zhou et al, 2021;Chen et al, 2020), lacking sufficient multiple dimensions to measure. Finally, this study uses dynamic panel autoregression models, GMM tests, Monte Carlo simulations, pulse response analysis, and variance decomposition methods to investigate the potential connections, mutual influence effects, response characteristics, and dynamics between tourism industry development, technological innovation, and informatization.…”

Research background: Informatization is a new economic form arising from a new round of technological and industrial changes. Information technology has been used to promote the integrated development of the tourism industry and propel technological innovation, which will help accelerate the achievement of the strategic goals of carbon emission peaking and carbon neutrality. China’s informatization level has improved to a certain extent due to the concentration of capital and technological innovation brought about by the government-led model, and also owing to the consumer dynamics released by the industry-side reform.Research contents and methods: This study constructs a panel vector auto-regression model to investigate the impact of tourism industry development and technological innovation on informatization based on Chinese provincial statistics from 2010 to 2019. This study adopts the entropy method, Monte Carlo simulation, variance decomposition, and pulse response to investigate the impact, characteristics, and trends of their interactions.Results: First, tourism industry development, technological innovation, and informatization all experience inertia development and have self-reinforcing mechanisms during the research period. Second, tourism industry development and technological innovation have a significantly positive impact on the enhancement of informatization, and their influence presents a trend, from upward to downward. Third, tourism industry development has a positive impact on technological innovation, and the response trend presents a curve approximately inverted U-shape. Fourth, from the results of variance decomposition, the contribution of technological innovation to the improvement of informatization level increases rapidly and reaches 18.5% and then levels off. The contribution rate of tourism industry development to the improvement of informatization level gradually rises and reaches 5.1%, finally tending to be stable.Contribution: This study reveals that tourism industry development and technological innovation will exert different pulling effects on informatization at different development stages in China and their advantages and provides theoretical contributions to tourism industry development and technological innovation on the advancement of informatization level. The research results provide a reference basis for the government and related industrial sectors in how to effectively facilitate the development of informatization in the context of the low-carbon economy.

“…This implies that digital technology provides a good market basis for the sustainable development of tourism by shaping the destination image as well as exploring other service opportunities in cultural heritage (Gannon and Taheri 2018). For all 14 prefectures of the People's Republic of China, it has been empirically found that the digital economy is the key driving force for the high-quality development of tourism (Zhao, Mei, and Xiao 2022). The digital ecosystem of an economy empowers smart tourism by facilitating data-driven decision-making through online services, smart devices, and platforms.…”
