Abstract

(1) This study aims to solve the problems of sustainable development in the forestry tertiary industry, to address the imbalanced state of natural environmental resources and the forestry industry, to improve ecological and environmental management, and to prepare for carbon peak and carbon neutral goals. (2) Using panel data from forest park tourism in 30 provinces and cities in China from 2010 to 2019, the DEA game cross-efficiency model is adapted to evaluate its tourism eco-efficiency, and the primary factors affecting forestry tourism eco-efficiency are selected; additionally, a panel tobit regression model is established for analysis to find policy entry points for enhancing forestry tourism eco-efficiency through empirical analysis. (3) The results show that transportation network construction and tourism input have a negative impact on the eco-efficiency of forestry tourism in China, while ecological construction, economic level, and environmental regulations are positively correlated with the eco-efficiency of forestry tourism. (4) Therefore, suggestions are made to optimize the allocation of tourism resource inputs and adopt appropriate development models, and to promote the interactive development of forestry industries.
