Game Analysis on Agritainment Owners' Participation in Rural Tourism Collective Management

Abstract

Combing with author's field investigation of Shuikou Township in Changxing County, using the method of Game Theory and Collective Action Theory, this paper analyzes the decision-making problem of agritainment owners' participation in collective management in rural tourism. The strategies of the township government are Incentive, Negotiation and Administration, while the strategies of the agritainment owners are obedience and resistance. The game results suggest that, when developing the collective management model of rural tourism, the township government should pay attention: when making decisions, they can reduce subsidies on the agritainment owners, make it less than their costs, and then adopt the method of negotiation. Besides, additional incentives for agritainment owners can be improved to maintain the maximum profit advantage, and then incentive method can be successfully adopted.
