Abstract: This study explores the relationship between the agglomeration of modern service industry and tourism efficiency in China based on the data from 2012 to 2017. The estimated coefficients of the specialized agglomeration were 0.001 and 0.009 in the eastern and western region, and both are significant at the 5% level. The estimated coefficients of the diversified agglomeration are 0.0002 (significant at the 10% level) and 0.0003 (significant at the 1% level) in the eastern and western region, indicating that two types of modern service industry agglomeration promoted the tourism efficiency. According to the influencing mechanism test, the specialized agglomeration of modern service industry could improve tourism efficiency through ‘technology spillover effect’. The influence of the ‘demonstration and learning effect’ exceeded the ‘crowding effect’ brought by the diversified agglomeration of modern service industry, which exerted a positive effect on the improvement of tourism efficiency.
