Abstract

The concept of “sharing” and the development of the digital economy have driven the transformation of resource allocation in the tourism industry to resource sharing. The article defines resource sharing in the tourism industry from a comprehensive perspective according to the systematic analysis of the concept of resource sharing and the background of the digital economy, which is an economic behavior of integrating, opening and sharing resources among members under the guidance of the government and relying on modern information technology such as the internet, with the sharing of usage rights as the main feature. Based on the dual inspiration of MICK resource classification theory and digital economy theory, the article constructs a conceptual model and measurement scale of resource sharing in the tourism industry from four dimensions: knowledge resource sharing, material resource sharing, information resource sharing and capital resource sharing. The panel data of 31 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) from 2016 to 2020 were analyzed mathematically and statistically. The analysis results showed that the weight of knowledge resources is the highest. Moreover, the eastern region had the highest level of resource sharing and the western region had the lowest level of resource sharing. Furthermore, the level of resource sharing in the past five years showed a trend of year-on-year improvement. Based on the scores, countermeasures are proposed in terms of enhancing the importance of information technology and strengthening basic support according to local conditions, which provide a reference for cities to improve the level of resource sharing.
