Research on the Pulling Effect of Tourism on Economic Development in the Four Major Regions of Hunan Province

采用旅游业地位指数、旅游业带动指数等指标，对2015~2023年湖南省四大地区旅游业对经济发展的拉动效应进行分析，研究发现：湖南旅游业发展对各地区经济的拉动效应存在一定差异，总体来看大湘西地区旅游业对区域经济的拉动效应最强；湘南地区次之，旅游业带动指数波动大，旅游业对经济发展拉动作用不稳定；长株潭地区和洞庭湖地区旅游业能较强地发挥经济带动作用，但旅游收入在GDP中占比相对不高，旅游业发展还有较大的提升空间。根据分析结果，对湖南旅游业发展提出相关建议，促进其持续推动经济发展。By using indicators such as the tourism status index and the tourism driving index, the pulling effect of the tourism industry on economic development in the four major regions of Hunan Province from 2015 to 2023 was analyzed. The research found that there are certain differences in the pulling effect of the tourism industry on the economy in each region of Hunan. Generally speaking, the tourism industry in the Great Western Hunan region has the strongest pulling effect on the regional economy; the Southern Hunan region follows, but the tourism driving index fluctuates greatly, and the pulling effect of tourism on economic development is unstable; the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan region and the Dongting Lake region can play a strong economic driving role, but the proportion of tourism income in GDP is relatively low, and there is still a large room for improvement in the development of the tourism industry. Based on the analysis results, relevant suggestions are put forward for the development of the tourism industry in Hunan to promote its continuous contribution to economic development.
