Abstract

Tourism enterprises, as an integral part of the service industry, are crucial for optimizing economic structures. This paper empirically tests the impact of digitalization and green transformation on the high-quality development of listed tourism companies in China's capital market. The results show that digitalization and greening significantly improve the high-quality development of tourism enterprises, with a notable synergistic effect between the two. Heterogeneity analysis indicates that the promotional effect of digitalization and green transformation on high-quality development is particularly evident in larger enterprises and those with lower financing constraints.
