Abstract: Chapter 6 investigates the spatial impacts of Chinese HSR systems on domestic tourism demand, which is measured by the number of domestic tourists and domestic tourism revenue. Using a spatial econometric regression analysis, the study confirms that during the period between 1999 and 2016, the implementation of HSR does have diverse spatial impacts on tourism output. Specifically, the impacts were found to be much stronger in the less developed west regions, whereas the impacts were found to be moderate in the central region and less significant in the developed east regions. In addition, the results also suggest that much of the effects were due to positive spatial spillover effects of HSR, which is likely due to improved regional accessibility.
