The Development Trend about the Tourism Research in China——A Statistical Analysis of the Articles from the Tourism Tribune in the Year of 1986 to 2012

本文通过对《旅游学刊》1986年1月创刊以来发表的全部学术论文进行内容分析和分类统计,从论文数量、研究热点、基础研究关注程度等方面进行分析,归纳了期刊发文情况的特点,如载文年度数量、作者所在区域及单位、研究方法和资金资助等,统计分析结果也反映了国内学者在旅游学领域研究重点的发展变化及研究发展趋势。

This study gives a brief statistic analysis on the content and the classifications of the articles in Tourism Tribune in the years from 1986 to 2012, which is done from the perspectives including the number of the articles, research hotspots, the concern degrees for basic research, and so on. And it also concludes some features of the articles, such as how many articles published each year, where the authors are from, research methods and the fund for the studies. Meanwhile, the analysis results indicate the changes the study focuses and the trends of research development tourism industry in China. According to the statistic analysis on the articles in Tourism Tribune, it is found that there have been some a- chievements about the related research along with the increasing development of tourism industry. The researchers from different regions and industries have concluded some practical experience on tourism and extracted some theo- retical achievements, which could direct and lead the research development of tourism industry in China. Meanwhile ,we can know there are some weak parts in tourism study in China which need to be concerned and improved. First, it is not balanced in research content among the Classifications of Grades 1,2 and 3. In Grade 1, Tourism Management plays the major role in research while there is just 17.2% about Hotel Management,Tourism Manage ment and Service and Exhibition Economy and Management. Grade 2, the research proportion of the first five ones including Tourism Basis Research, Tourism Industry Management, Tourism Economy, Tourism Destination Research and Hotel Theory Research stands more than half in the 25 classifications. In Grade 3, the first ten researches cover 55.5% in the 38 classifications. Second, From the perspective of the researchers, on the one hand, most of which are from the developed provinces such as southeast coastal areas, Beijing, Shanxi and Hunan, especially from Beijing, Guangdong and Shanghai, where there are 46. 1% of the researchers. And in the west parts and border areas where tourism resources are rich, there are few researchers. So the dis- tribution of the researchers is not average and reasonable. On the other hand, most of the researchers are from uni- versities and research institutions and there are few from the government and enterprises. The proportions between the government,education and research institutions and enterprises arel2.8% ,81% and 6. 2%. So it is not ration- al. Thus it is necessary that the talents from different fields participate in the research so that a healthy and sustain- able development status will be achieved in Tourism Industry. Third, quantitative study has been widely used from the angle of research method. It can help know the insight, but it also lead people to walk into a wrong region because they think an article would not be good one if quantita- tive research method is not used in it. Fourth, the fund for study is always for some national projects while some low- er ones cannot be assisted. Actually some young scholars are potential and they should be given more chances and assistance because they will be a new force in tourism research in the future.
