老挝北部九省旅游资源类型及其空间分布特征

Types and Spatial Distribution Characteristics of Tourism Resources in Nine Provinces in Northern Laos

老挝北部九省区位独特、资源丰富、经济发展速度加快,日益成为老挝旅游业发展的重心。在分析老挝九省旅游资源数量、类型、结构的基础上,依据《旅游资源分类、调查与评价》进行类型结构统计,结合地理集中指数和基尼系数,对老挝北部九省旅游资源的空间结构进行了定量研究,结果表明:该地区旅游资源总量丰富,自然和人文旅游资源优势明显,空间上呈两极多中心、三带两环状分布,地区之间差异突出,类型相对单一。老挝应加强万象、琅勃拉邦两大旅游资源集聚区开发,培育新兴增长极,防控同质化资源重复开发;云南应注重异质旅游产品的宣传推广,改善景洪至滇西北的交通条件,提高产品的性价比。

The nine provinces in northern Laos,unique in location,rich in resources and fast in development,are becoming the center of Laos’tourism.After analyzing the quantity,type and structure of tourism resources in these nine provinces,we made statistics of type and structure according to Classification,Survey and Evalua.tion of Tourism Resources and studied the spatial structure in combination with the geographical concentration index and Gini coefficient in a quantitative way.According to the statistical and study results,there are abun.dant tourism resources(natural and cultural tourism resources enjoy the obvious advantage)in a two-pole,multicenter,three-zone,two-ring spatial pattern in that region.In an area,the tourism resources are distinct and sin.gle in type.Laos should try developing the two tourism resource clusters-Vientiane and Luang Prabang-hard.er,cultivate an emerging growth pole,and control the repetition of homogeneous resource development.Yunnan should focus on the promotion of heterogeneous tourism products,improve the traffic conditions from Jinghong to northwest Yunnan,and raise the cost performance of products.
