Abstract
This paper explores the stimulating effect of digital travel vouchers on tourist mobility in China during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using monthly data on tourist inflows in 306 cities from September 2020 to December 2021, the analysis shows that digital travel vouchers can boost tourist inflows, but their effectiveness depends on the issuance method and the total number distributed. Significant spillover effects among neighboring cities are also found.
