Abstract To explain the great differences in tourism development across Chinese provinces, this paper conducts a dynamic panel analysis of tourism development in China using panel data on Chinese provinces for the 2000-2009 periods. The estimation result provides empirical evidence on the relation between agglomeration and development of Chinese provincial tourism. The econometric analysis shows that tourism density in agglomeration has a positive influence on local tourism growth. Furthermore, it shows that the variance of tourism development across Chinese provinces can be explained by differences in the density of tourism economic activity.
