Abstract

This paper mainly studies the intrinsic linkages between inbound tourism development and ecological environment among RCEP members. We first construct an economic model for the EKC to represent the relationship between tourism development and environmental impacts, taking the panel data (1995 ~ 2017) of RCEP members as foundation. Then we adopt Fixed Effects (FE) and Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) to continue further analysis. The results show that, in the past 30 years, the relationship between the overall development of inbound tourism and the ecological footprint follows an inverted N-shape. The changes of ecological footprint are mainly affected by transportation, urbanization, economic development and the degree of trade openness. Due to the differences in economic development, indigenous natural resources and transportation location among members of RCEP, there are various relationship curves, such as U-shape, inverted U-shape, N-shape and linear, etc., between inbound tourism development and ecological footprint. In the long run, the development of inbound tourism will help slow down the increase in total ecological footprint consumption, thereby protecting the ecological environment and achieving sustainable development of regional economy.
