Abstract:

On the basis of analyzing related mechanism of tourism industrial agglomeration and carrying capacity, the paper measures tourism industrial concentration degree and tourism environment carrying capacity index in coastal regions to reveal the characteristics of dynamic change and space difference between them; then it tests the time series data of  carrying capacity and concentration degree index from 2001 to 2012 and builds vector auto-regressive model (VAR) to analyze the dynamic effect between tourism industrial concentration degree and tourism environment carrying capacity index in coastal regions. The results show that: there is long-term stable relationship between them; carrying capacity has negative impact on tourism industry agglomeration, but it will be transformed into positive influence alongside regional tourism carrying capacity ascension by the scale effect, cost effect and competitive advantage; the industry agglomeration′s contribution to the change of carrying capacity is greater than the carrying capacity′s contribution to the change of industry agglomeration.
