中国入境旅游规模结构的省际差异及影响因素

Study on the Provincial Difference and Its Influencing Factors of the Size Structure of China’s Inbound Tourism

应用城市体系等级规模结构理论,通过构建描述省际旅游规模分布的指标,运用聚类分析和判别分析等方法,探讨了中国入境旅游规模结构的省际差异及其影响因素。结果表明:省际入境旅游规模结构类型主要包括高级过渡型、中高级均衡型、中级过渡型、中级首位型、初级过渡型和初级首位型。各省区入境旅游规模结构以首位分布和过渡分布类型为主体,属于均衡分布类型的省区较少,规模结构的不均衡性显著。在此基础上,分析了经济发展水平、旅游资源禀赋、城市职能结构和区域经济发展战略等因素对入境旅游规模结构的影响。

Based on the rank-size theory in urban geography, the paper investigates the size structure of inbound tourism at the scale of province in China, by constructing some indices of tourism size distribution and using the methods of cluster analysis and discriminant analysis. The conclusions are drawn as follows： the size structure of inbound tourism can be divided into six types, that is senior transitional distribution, middle-senior equilibrium distribution, middle transitional distribution, middle primacy distribution, junior transitional distribution and junior primacy distribution. At provincial scale, the size structure of inbound tourism is significant imbalance. Tourism size structures of the province are mainly belonging to the types of primacy distribution or transitional distribution, and few are belonging to the equilibrium distribution. The paper also discusses the influencing factors of the size structure, such as the level of economic development, tourism resources conditions, city functions and regional development strategies.
