Tourism total factor productivity, as an important indicator to measure the high-quality development of tourism, has become a research hotspot. Although there have been a large amount of researches on indicators that affect tourism total factor productivity, the impact mechanism and effect of informatization on tourism total factor productivity have not yet been clarified. Based on a systematic analysis of the impact mechanism of informatization on tourism total factor productivity and its decomposition factors: tourism technical progress and tourism technical efficiency, this paper constructs a measurement system of informatization development level integrating multi-source data, and analyzes the dynamic evolution process of tourism total factor productivity and its decomposition factors in 30 provinces of China from 2010 to 2019 using the DEA-Malmquist index. The threshold panel model is used for the study. The results show that: (1) During the research period, China's informatization level has been increasing year by year, and the gap between provinces has been narrowing, with the spatial characteristics of hot spots in the east and cold spots in the west. (2) Tourism total factor productivity showed a continuous upward trend, with significant contributions from tourism technical progress, but tourism technical efficiency declined. (3) Informatization has a significant nonlinear promoting effect on tourism total factor productivity. Informatization has a positive impact on tourism total factor productivity through positive promotion of tourism technical progress, and has a threshold effect on tourism total factor productivity through nonlinear inhibition of tourism technical efficiency.(信息时代,信息化对旅游产业高质量发展的影响备受关注。通过构建融合多源数据的信息化发展水平测度体系,借助DEA-Malmquist指数,分析了2010—2019年中国30个省级行政区旅游全要素生产率及其分解因素的动态演变过程,并利用门槛面板模型研究了信息化对旅游全要素生产率及其分解因素的影响。结果表明:(1)研究期内中国信息化水平逐年上升、省际差距不断缩小,在空间上呈东部为发展热点区西部为发展冷点区的特征。(2)旅游全要素生产率呈持续上升趋势,其中旅游技术进步贡献显著,旅游技术效率有所下降。(3)信息化对旅游全要素生产率有显著的非线性促进作用,其通过正向促进旅游技术进步对旅游全要素生产率产生积极影响,并通过非线性抑制旅游技术效率对旅游全要素生产率产生门槛效应。)
