Research on the Influence Mechanism of Overseas Education on the Efficiency of Inbound Tourism

Abstract

Under the influence of the epidemic and the downturn of international trade, how to make better use of the policy advantages of the "the Belt and Road" to attract overseas students to China, so as to promote the efficiency of inbound tourism trade is an important topic that deserves attention at present. This paper uses the panel data of the number of inbound tourists to China from 2009 to 2018 to measure the efficiency of inbound tourism trade. The study found that every 1% increase in the size of international students will increase the efficiency of inbound tourism trade by 0.5704 percentage points. At the same time, international students are divided into two categories: government scholarships and fees for further analysis and research. Therefore, this paper believes that in order to improve the efficiency of inbound tourism trade, we should steadily expand the scale of foreign students in China and optimize the education system of foreign students.
