Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsGeneral comments:
First, I would like to acknowledge the authors' efforts to develop the research and to write the manuscript. Therefore, from my point of view, I see some room for further development. My comments are as follow:
- The source would be added to the figures to know the author/s of the information.
Keywords:
- The word China shoud be added.
Introduction:
- the introduction should capture more discussion about the resilience of tourism economies.
- Is the figure 1 necessary?
- the section 1.4 is difficult to understand. Coud the authors explain better?
Spatiotemporal Evolution of Provincial Tourism Economic Systems in China:
- the section is difficult to understand. I suggest to the authors to restructure it and, perhaps, reduce the quantity of figures.
Conclusion and discussion:
- There is no discussion. The authors should add discussion.
- The theoretical and practical contribution of the paper should be reinforced because is very weak. Also, the limitations and the further research should be described.

Reviewer 2 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsTaking provincial tourism data from 2012 to 2022 for example, this paper explored the resilience of tourism economies in Chinese provinces. Overall, the logic of this paper is clear and the research is meaningful, but there are still some problems in this paper that need to be further modified and improved.
First, Line 175, as author stated that drawing on existing research on tourism economic resilience, this study constructs a tourism economic resilience evaluation indicator system across four dimensions. However, What exactly are these documents? How are the weight values in Table 1 obtained? Why is this set up? These questions need to be further clarified by the authors.
Second, the policy implications of this study should be further discussed. The existing writing is not specific enough.
