Abstract
Poverty reduction through tourism is an important support and means for industrial poverty alleviation, based on the panel data of Shaanxi province from 2009 to 2018,combined with the panel threshold regression model,this paper empirically tests the non-linear relationship between tourism and rural poverty alleviation in Shaanxi province.The results show that:The development of tourism in Shaanxi province can significantly reduce local poverty,while showing a significant threshold effect.Taking the level of economic development,transportation convenience,and industrial structure as threshold variables,tourism's reduction of poverty shows the characteristics of double threshold,double threshold and single threshold.When the level of economic development is below the first threshold,the development of tourism has not alleviated poverty.When the level of economic development has crossed the first threshold,tourism has a significant positive impact on poverty reduction;when the level of transportation convenience enters the first threshold value and the second threshold value range,the tourism poverty reduction effect is more obvious;when the industrial structure level is lower than the first threshold value,the tourism poverty reduction effect is better.The government should provide conditions for promoting tourism poverty reduction by improving transportation infrastructure and promoting industrial structure upgrading.
