论恩格尔系数与城镇居民旅游需求关系——以中山市、顺德区为例

Engel Coefficient and Cities Inhabitant's Traveling Demand Relationship

按照经济学的一般原理,随着恩格尔系数的下降,人们用于发展和享受型的消费会随之增加。而旅游作为一种发展和享受性消费,自然也与恩格尔系数成反方向变化。以广东省中山市和顺德区1996-2005年的恩格尔系数与城镇居民人均旅游支出的关系为主要研究对象,通过横向和纵向的比较,发现恩格尔系数与旅游需求在一定时期,一定条件下,会出现与上述规律相悖的结论。

Generally, it is believed that the development and enjoyment of consumption will increase along with the Engel Index decline. And tourism is a kind of development and enjoyment of consumption, so it will change in the opposite direction according to the Engle Index. All in Zhongshan City and Shunde District of Guangdong Province 1996--2005 the Engel coefficient of the per capita tourist expenditure relationship with the residents,as the main research, through horizontal and vertical comparison, proves that the Engel＇s Coefficient and the traveling demand at certain time, under the given condition, can draw the conclusion which contradicts with the above rule.
