Abstract

This paper is based on the national marine park construction as a quasi-natural experiment, utilizing panel data from 51 coastal cities at the prefecture level and above in China from 2004 to 2023. It employs a multi-period difference-in-difference approach to analyze the impact of national marine park construction on the tourism industry in coastal cities. The study finds that the construction of national marine parks significantly promotes the development of the tourism industry in coastal cities. This conclusion remains valid after a series of robustness tests, including parallel trend tests, placebo tests, tests for other policy interference, PSM-DID tests, excluding municipalities from the sample, tailing retraction test, and changing the sample time. The policy effects are more pronounced in cities with high endowments of tourism resources, advanced tourism development levels, high government environmental concerns, and strong clan cultural intensity. The construction of national marine parks primarily drives the development of the tourism industry in coastal cities by improving ecological environment quality, increasing tourism service supply, and promoting industrial structural adjustments. Therefore, coastal cities should fully seize the opportunity presented by the construction of national marine parks, implement differentiated strategies to amplify the marginal effects of this construction, and continuously release the effectiveness of national marine parks in promoting marine tourism development through the synergistic interaction of the ‘ecology-service-industry’ chain, making the tourism industry in coastal cities a key force driving the high-quality development of the marine economy.
