Abstract: The improvement of transportation is an important prerequisite for the efficient development of tourism industry.Taking eight prefecture-level cities of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration as the research object,using relevant statistical data from 2007 to 2017,with the help of DEA-Malmquist model,natural breakpoint method and limited dependent variable model,discusses the spatial-temporal interaction between highway transportation development and tourism development efficiency and its influence mechanism,which is significant to reveal the tourism spatial structure within the urban agglomeration in an all-round way,to promote the coordinated development of tourism economy and to accelerate the high-quality development of regional economy.The results show that there is a certain interactive relationship between urban agglomeration highway transportation development and tourism development efficiency,and there are significant regional differences in this kind of interactive relationship.It is found that the improvement of highway transportation in Changsha,Xiangtan,Yiyang and Loudi cities plays a positive role in promoting the efficient development of the tourism industry,while the degree of coordination between highway transportation construction and efficiency in other cities is not high.The highway transportation of urban agglomeration,the number of employees in the tertiary industry and the level of economic development have a significant positive impact on the efficiency of tourism development,while the degree of opening up to the outside world,and the industrial structure have a restraining effect on the efficiency.In the future,the relevant departments of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration should strengthen the construction of highway transportation infrastructure and speed up the integration of transportation and tourism industry,so as to promote the coordinated and healthy development of regional economy.

Key words: highway traffic, tourism development efficiency, DEA-Malmquist model, spatial-temporal influence, Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration
