Abstract:

The wide application of information technology in tourism has changed the traditional mode of industryand meanwhile, greatly promoted the development of tourism destination. This paper analyzed the contribution of information technology to tourism economic growth in Beijing,which was achieved by establishing the traditional C-D production function model based on the time series data from 2000 to 2014. The results show that the elasticity of information technology is higher than that of capital and labor. In addition, the average annual growth rate of information technology is largely higher than that of capital and labor as well. And this is just the reasonwhy the contribution rate of information technology to tourism economic growth isgreater than that of capital and labor. At the same time, this paper shows that the high input of information technology will not only bring about obvious spillover effects on tourism, but also have far-reaching influence on other industries. In other words, it’s very important to utilize information technology in Beijing’s tourism industry to improve economic growth. At the end of the paper, we propose some suggestions, hoping that information technology can be better used in Beijing’s tourism industry and play a bigger role in the future. Specifically, the suggestions mainly include the expansion of information channel, perfection of online payment, enhancement of collaboration efficiency and improvement of the quality of employees. And we expect these suggestions may help with the further application of information technology in Beijing’s tourism industry and can improve the output efficiency of tourism economy.

Key words: information technology, tourism economic growth, contribution rate, C-D production function

摘要:

信息技术在旅游业中的广泛应用,改变了传统的产业模式并极大地促进了旅游目的地的发展。本文采用2000—2014年的时间序列数据,通过建立传统的柯布—道格拉斯生产函数模型分析信息技术对北京市旅游经济发展的贡献度进行研究。研究结果表明,信息技术对北京市旅游产出的投入弹性要高于旅游固定资产和劳动的弹性。同时,由于信息技术的年均增长率要远高于旅游固定资产和劳动的年均增长率,最终导致了信息技术对旅游经济发展的贡献度远远大于旅游固定资产和劳动对旅游经济发展的贡献度。信息技术的高投入不仅会给旅游业带来明显的溢出效应,也会对其他行业产生深远的影响。本文最后提出拓展信息查询渠道、完善网络支付功能、提高部门协作效率和提高从业人员素质等4项建议,以进一步深化信息技术在北京市旅游产业中的应用,提高旅游经济产出效率。
