闽台入境旅游发展时空演变比较研究

A Comparative Analysis on Spatio-temporal Evolution of Inbound Tourism Development between Fujian and Taiwan

闽台入境旅游发展存有明显的时空差异。福建地区土地面积和人口数均大于台湾地区，但历年接待的入境旅游人数却明显少于台湾地区，不过差距正不断缩小。目前，闽台国际入境旅游客源国分别以美国、日本和马来西亚居前三位。虽然历年入境旅游收入福建地区远低于台湾地区，但其GDP的比重二者渐趋一致。闺台入境旅游发展的时空差异是多因素综合作用的结果。其中，台湾地区入境旅游发展较早，在市场竞争中占据先机具有重要影响；两地旅游发展政策和经济发展轨迹差异等方面也有一定影响。

The analysis of relevant statistical data reveals an obvious differentiation existing in the development of inbound tourism between Fujian and Taiwan.Although both the area and population number of Fujian Province are greater than those of Taiwan,the inbound tourist arrivals in Fujian have been significantly less than that in Taiwan over the years.Nevertheless,this gap is gradually shrinking.At present,the most important country of foreign tourist origin in Fujian is the United States,while in Taiwan is Japan.The inbound tourism revenue in Fujian has been far lower than that in Taiwan over the years,however, their proportion in gross domestic product is becoming more consistent.The spatio-temporal differentiation of inbound tourism development between Fujian and Taiwan is the result of combined effects of multiple factors. Among which the early participation in international inbound tourism and possession therefore a favorable position in market competition for Taiwan has an important influence,the differences in tourism policy and economic developing trajectories,as well as the disparities in tourism facilities,tourism services,tourism propaganda,etc.between two areas have also played a certain role.
