Abstract

The Positive Effect of Tourism Development on Urban Liveability

Chaoyue Cai, Aosha Li*, Rubin Yang and Jianxiong Tang

Rapid urbanization has brought a series of "urban diseases." Whether tourism, as a "smoke-free industry," can improve urban liveability is worth studying. Based on the article "Can Tourism Development Help Improve Urban Liveability? An Examination of the Chinese Case" written by Cai and his collaborators, this study provides a supplementary discussion on the positive effect of tourism development on urban liveability. It confirms that tourism development improves urban liveability by optimizing the ecological environment, elevating the economic level, and ameliorating the social environment. Finally, we propose some shortcomings of existing studies and the prospects for future research.
