Abstract
as an emerging industry, tourism industry's development has formed a certain scale in China, the impact on China's economic growth has become increasingly stronger. In this paper, we use the macro-economic data from 1999 to 2008 to make an empirical test on the effect of tourism industry on economic growth in central China by Cobb-Douglas production function and panel data model. The basic conclusion is: from the analysis of fixed effects model, tourism industry drives economic growth not only through its own direct income effect, but more importantly, because of its association with the industry, it expands economic growth effects through the multiplier effect, and give a strong impetus to the six provinces in central China which have rich tourism resources.
