Abstract

This study applied a threshold panel data model to test the nonlinear impacts of tourism development and the potential moderating effect of tourism density on urban livability, using observations of 35 large and medium-size cities in China from 2002 to 2016. Findings revealed that the total effect of tourism development on urban livability first increased and then decreased with the growth of tourism density. Thus, tourism development was found to have a critical impact on urban livability, both positively and negatively, with a non-monotonic moderating effect of tourism density. Results lead to practical managerial implications regarding tourism sustainability and urban livability.
