Beyond the scenery: Understanding the impact of rural tourism development on household consumption in China

AbstractThe positive effects of rural tourism are widely recognized, yet its influence on local household consumption has been insufficiently explored. Our study fills this gap by investigating the relationship between rural tourism development and household consumption, using the Leisure Agriculture and Rural Tourism Demonstration County (LARTDC) policy as a quasi‐natural experiment framework. Employing a staggered difference‐in‐differences (DID) method, we found that rural tourism development contributes to a 4.91% increase in per capita household consumption. The robustness of our main results is confirmed using advanced techniques such as Bacon decomposition and DIDM estimations. We attributed this positive impact to the rise in nonfarm employment and infrastructure development. Our heterogeneity analysis further reveals the inclusive nature of rural tourism, showing its significant role in improving household consumption patterns, diminishing consumption inequality, and enhancing welfare, especially in disadvantaged rural households. Further analysis confirms that greater LARTDC policy exposure may lead to higher levels of household consumption. Moreover, we revealed that rural tourism increased the freedom of employment, especially for the elderly and women; however, it did not squeeze out leisure time or hurt the quality of life and welfare. Theoretically, this study contributes to the discourse on tourism's role in fostering economic growth and social equity, addressing the patterns of high savings and low consumption in rural China. Practically, our findings suggest that post‐COVID‐19 recovery strategies in developing countries may emphasize rural tourism development, aiming to stimulate household spending and achieve balanced growth.

Study on the Development Efficiency of Leisure Agriculture in Suburban Towns: An Empirical Analysis Based on the Case of Xinkou Town, Tianjin City

The leisure agriculture in suburban towns provides important space for citizens to carry out leisure activities. This paper takes Xinkou town in Tianjin city as an example to analyze the development efficiency of leisure agriculture in suburban towns. On the premise of establishing the indicators for evaluating the development efficiency of leisure agriculture in Xinkou town, this paper first uses the data envelopment analysis (DEA) to measure the input and output indicators of leisure agriculture in 18 natural villages in Xinkou town, and calculates the comprehensive technical efficiency, target values, redundancy and returns to scale of leisure agriculture, and then evaluates the development efficiency of leisure agriculture in Xinkou town. Furthermore, by using the high/low clustering tool under the ArcGIS spatial statistics module, this paper conducts a high/low clustering analysis of the development efficiency of leisure agriculture in 18 natural villages of Xinkou town, and figures out the reasons for the high/low clustering of natural villages in Xinkou town spatially. After the research and analysis, the following conclusions are drawn: From the input–output perspective, except for Zhengzhuangzi village, Diliubu village, Yuejiakai village, and Dangcheng village, the development efficiency of leisure agriculture in other villages is relatively low due to their poor resource foundations, or deficiencies in management experience and transportation location. The development of leisure agriculture in Xinkou town is unbalanced, showing a pattern of polarized clusters: Diliubu village and Shuigaozhuang village form the most obvious high-value cluster, while Xiaoshawo village, Bijia village and Xuanjiayuan village form the most obvious low-value cluster, where the southeast corner of Xinkou town registers the lowest development efficiency value of leisure agriculture because it is far away from the town center and the main transportation arteries, and falls short of high-quality pastoral scenery. For the future development of leisure agriculture in Xinkou town, it is supposed to optimize the land use policy, provide active support to the competitive industrial and commercial capital, non-governmental capital, rural collective economic organizations, farmers’ cooperatives, and family farms, strengthen the in-depth integration of industries, improve the support system for new-type leisure agriculture, and build leisure agriculture brands with local features.

Dynamic evolution and obstacle factor analysis of green development in China's agriculture and rural areas based on entropy-based TOPSIS model

Green development of agriculture and rural areas (GDARA) is an essential part of rural revitalization and high-quality development. Based on 2011 to 2020 provincial panel data from China, the entropy-based Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) model is constructed to measure the level of GDARA, finding that the overall level during the sample period was positive. Then the regional differences mainly from intra-regional were revealed by the methods of Dagum Gini coefficient and Kernel density estimation and were shrinking overall. Besides, the results of Markov chain transfer matrix show the dynamic characteristics clearly, which the low-level regions shift to the middle and high levels with a greater probability. The results of the spatial autocorrelation test display that GDARA has a spatial clustering effect. Finally, the industrial upgrading and the business income of leisure agriculture are respectively proven to hinder GDARA at most by the Obstacle degree model empirically. Based on a series of empirical tests, a few relevant policy recommendations are proposed to promote the road to strong agriculture and rural areas in China.

Study on the Synergy Effect of Leisure Agriculture and Rural Tourism Development

Abstract In recent years, with the rapid development of the social economy, the market demand for tourism has subsequently enhanced, the integration of leisure agriculture and rural tourism as a new type of business, the state-issued policy support, leisure agriculture and rural tourism has also received widespread attention. This study proceeds to the demand for the synergistic development of leisure agriculture and rural tourism, reveals the mechanism of synergistic development of leisure agriculture and rural tourism, plans its development trend then constructs a coupling evaluation model for the synergistic development of leisure agriculture and rural tourism by using entropy method, entropy weight method and coupling model. Finally, through empirical analysis, it is concluded that both leisure agriculture and rural tourism in province M as a whole show a certain upward trend, and, in 2021~2023, both of them stepped from the state of dysfunction into the state of primary coordination, and the degree of coupling coordination was raised from 0.6251 to 0.6421. During 2019~2020, the degree of coupling coordination between leisure agriculture and rural tourism is constantly climbing, the coupling coordination relationship between leisure agriculture and rural tourism coupling coordination relationship is continuously strengthening, and the cooperation between industries is gradually increasing. Secondly, the driving force of leisure agriculture as a whole has become a rising trend, while the tourism industry is generally stabilizing. The unbalanced development of tourism’s three-dimensional power has a certain inhibiting effect.

Research on the Development of Leisure Agriculture and Rural Tourism and Legal Regulation Issues under the Background of Rural Revitalization

Since the implementation of the strategy for leisure agriculture and rural tourism, various regions in China have shown diverse development trends. Despite this, practical difficulties and legal issues persist. Particularly in the areas of administrative supervision, land transfer, contractual systems, and tort liability, existing laws and regulations still need further improvement for efficient and scientific regulatory management. To promote the healthy growth of rural tourism, the primary task is to strengthen regulatory agency construction and clarify the scope of powers and responsibilities to enhance government supervision. Additionally, the establishment of land transfer systems and clarification of property rights are essential legal measures to regulate land transfer. Furthermore, improving contractual systems and defining tort liability regulations can effectively address issues related to leisure agriculture and rural tourism contracts and tort actions. By studying the shortcomings of the current legal system and proposing solutions, the aim is to achieve robust development in China's rural economy and the implementation of rural revitalization.

Agriculture Risks and Opportunities in a Climate-Vulnerable Watershed in Northeastern Taiwan—The Opinions of Leisure Agriculture Operators

This study investigated the agriculture risks and opportunities in a fragile watershed, the Lanyang River Watershed (LRW) in Northeastern Taiwan, under the current situation of climate change. Agriculture in the LRW is a traditional sector, highly vulnerable to climate change, and is a declining economic sector due to the trend of trade liberalization of agriculture. At present, the government of Taiwan encourages local farmers to transform towards recreational farm types. Leisure agriculture operators have successfully transitioned their tilling to a business model of recreational farming. A telephone survey of leisure agriculture operators was applied with a three-stage approach to obtain their opinions. The results showed that climate change may entail risks for agriculture in watersheds. Transformation to leisure agriculture can enhance farm adaptation and increase farm income. The long-term implementation of slope- and geology-based land classification and land use planning can protect the watershed, especially from extreme weather, while enhancing water and soil conservation efforts, and bolstering climate resilience. Innovative agricultural practices offer viable solutions, including greenhouse farming for high-economic-value crops, leisure agriculture, organic farming, and ecotourism. These strategies can rejuvenate the LRW’s agriculture industry, foster ecological tourism, and provide opportunities for traditional farmers to thrive in this highly climate-fragile area. The implications of this case study are that appropriate responses can improve local climate resilience, and that correspondingly well-designed adaptation measures can transform threats and risks into new opportunities.

Spatial Distribution Heterogeneity and Influencing Factors of Different Leisure Agriculture Types in the City

Leisure agriculture is a crucial carrier for city agriculture and tourism growth. This study aims to explore the overall leisure agriculture and different types of leisure agriculture spatial sub-characteristics and their influencing factors. Taking the city of Xi’an, China, as an example, leisure agriculture was classified into four types: agritainments, agricultural parks, resorts, and rural homestays. According to this study, two ring zones and one core belt zone for leisure agriculture in Xi’an are dispersed unevenly and aggregated. Furthermore, geographic detectors and spatial principal components were employed as empirical techniques to investigate the primary factors influencing the spatial distribution of multiple leisure agriculture heterogeneity. The results about the influence mechanism indicate that the gross domestic product, population density, and accessibility to transportation dominated the overall spatial distribution, while the distance to scenic spots and water areas had a significant impact on the spatial distribution of some types. This research contributes to the reconstruction of leisure agriculture and promotes the sustainable development of agriculture and recreation by merging leisure agriculture spatial resources.

Leisure Agriculture and Rural Tourism Benefit Analysis on Eco-Environmental Resource Use

In recent years, particularly, the expansion of tourism has become more and more prosperous, and along with it, the impact on the natural environment has become greater and greater. As a result of the continuous development of the economy, human activity is having a greater impact on the natural environment and agricultural depth. The desire to feel more connected to nature and life is leading an increasing number of people to relocate to more rural areas. Because of this, the management and preparation of rural tourism destinations are of utmost significance. This paper presents a study on the analysis of the benefits of the use of ecological and environmental resources driven by the development of leisure agriculture and rural tourism. The study was carried out by the Environmental Economics and Policy Group (EEPG). The primary purpose of this study is to conduct an analysis of the benefits of agroecological environment and resource use in Jilin Province in accordance with the evaluation system of resource and environmental benefits of leisure agriculture. This evaluation will be combined with an analysis of the current situation of resource use and will be based on the principle of net social benefits of resource and environmental supply. The results of the experiments show that the coupling degree of the agricultural economic system in Jilin Province from 2015 to 2021 is greater than 0.9, which places it in the category of high-quality coupling (0.9 ≤ C ≤ 1). The degree of synergy ranges from 0.54608 to 0.78358 and exhibits an upward trend, but it remains in the medium synergy stage (0.50 ≤ D ≤ 8). This paper carries out relevant research on ecological and environmental resource use, which is of great practical significance in promoting the rational use of leisure agricultural resources, and, ultimately, the long-term sustainable development of leisure agriculture. In addition, the paper presents an analysis of the benefits of ecological and environmental resource use promoted by the development of leisure agriculture and rural tourism.

Do decaying rural communities have an incentive to maintain large-scale farming? A comparative analysis of farming systems for peri-urban agriculture in China

Rural decay is changing rural landscapes worldwide, but its impacts on agricultural production, especially on large-scale farming, are still being debated in the scientific literature. Certain researchers see it as a threat to large-scale farming, whereas others view it as an opportunity for modern agriculture. Here, this paper presented an integrated framework and used a case study to exemplify this issue. A model selection approach (OLS, SEM, and SLM) was performed to assess the impacts of rural decay on large-scale farming based on a comparative analysis of farming systems for peri-urban agriculture (efficient agriculture, semi-subsistence agriculture, and leisure agriculture) in China. The assessment showed that there was a positive spatial autocorrelation between rural decay and large-scale farming in the region. The results of the comparative analysis indicated that contrasting impacts were recorded in three farming systems: their relationship in rural communities practicing efficient agriculture and semi-subsistence agriculture tended to be more consistent by reason of the rural exodus, farmland abandonment, and residential vacancy providing crucial preconditions for large-scale farming. However, contrasting patterns were observed in leisure agriculture, and their conflicting relationship due to low dwelling density and population aging trapped large-scale farming in a disadvantaged position. In general, rural decay could partially and temporally accelerate large-scale farming, but it does not seem to be a favorable phenomenon to promote large-scale farming in the long term. Therefore, some effective strategies, such as providing more off-farm employment opportunities, improving land consolidation and machinery for agricultural production, and adapting various farming systems, may contribute to the feasible implementation of policies aiming to reverse rural decay and even accelerate large-scale farming.

Analysis on the Development Mode of Leisure Agriculture Industrialization Based on General Equilibrium Model

In recent years, leisure agriculture has been developing rapidly. Leisure agriculture has gradually become an important way to promote economic growth in rural areas and improve farmers’ income. By building a two-department general equilibrium model, this paper finds that the simple pursuit of leisure agriculture development may have a certain negative impact on the development of traditional industries in rural areas, so as to put forward the development idea of leisure agriculture industrialization. Combined with the general equilibrium model, it proves that the industrialization of leisure agriculture can promote the development of rural economy and improve the economic competitiveness of rural areas. The research of this paper enriches the research direction of leisure agriculture and provides theoretical support for the industrialization development of leisure agriculture.
