RCEP成员国国际旅游经济网络结构演化及中国角色分析

融入国际旅游经济网络是中国旅游国际化发展的重要路径,也是推进中国双循环新发展格局构建的重要举措。以RCEP 15个成员国为研究对象,从国际旅游经济的规模、增长、结构与效率4个维度构建国际旅游经济发展水平评价体系,并借助修正的引力模型构建国际旅游经济网络,运用社会网络分析方法对2000—2018年RCEP成员国国际旅游经济网络结构演化及中国角色展开分析。结果表明:①2000—2018年RCEP成员国国际旅游经济整体网络结构变动剧烈,呈现紧密度增强、通达度提升、等级度下降趋势,网络结构趋于稳定;网络中单个节点发展差异明显,对中国、新加坡、泰国等少数核心节点依赖性强。②RCEP成员国国际旅游经济网络可划分为4个凝聚子群,节点间国际旅游经济联系主要在子群内建立,“小群体”现象显著;中国的网络角色演变经历了从一般的旅游贡献者逐步发展为网络“领头羊”和重要“中间人”,现已成为RCEP成员国国际旅游经济网络中最具影响力的国家。

Recent research progress and prospects in tourism geography of China

Based on a large number of domestic literature reviews with related research abroad, academic standards and issues awareness have been intensified in domestic tourism geography, disciplinary consciousness and innovation enhancement. Hence, some valuable achievements have been made in the areas of tourism resources, tourism regional system, the spatial structure of tourism, tourism flow, ecotourism, tourism industry, tourism planning and tourism impacts, which strengthened the traditional advantages of research, expanded new areas of research and made research trends diverse. Meanwhile, with innovation of research methods, tourism geography in China is getting more and more internationally-oriented and reflecting Chinese characteristics. Research trends of China＇s tourism geography are prospected： 1） Catering to national strategic needs, persisting problem-oriented, strengthening the metatheoretical research, and building Chinese ＂localization＂ of theory of tourism geography and method system. 2） Introducing and assimilating foreign theories and research methods, while focusing on explaining new tourism phenomena and problems in the domestic socio-economic background. 3） Concerning about the new regional spatial processes of demographic process, social process, and spatial process in new tourism trend. 4） Exploring interactive process and mechanism of man-land relationship and new models to develop territorial space under the tourism impacts. 5） Exploring important research issues of tourism geography in global, national, regional and local scales, from the point of view of spatial differentiation, scale transformation, interaction of man and nature, creating tourism geography interpretation system based on ＂process-structure-mechanism＂ of China. 6） Building theoretical system actively, while strengthening application-oriented research, and focusing on tourism poverty alleviation, tourism and heritage protection, national parks＇ construction and other hot issues. Faced with econometrics research boom, we should return to rational thinking, using big data scientifically, while paying attention to the important role of qualitative evaluation in future research.

Responding to Global Warming: Mitigation Policies and Actions of Stakeholders in China's Tourism Industry

China’s tourism industry has witnessed rapid progress in recent years, and is now an important part of global tourism in dealing with climate change. Within a framework of Pressure-State-Response(PSR), this paper focuses on the emission reduction pressure, carbon emission status, and responses of stakeholders in China’s tourism industry. Findings include: 1) The central government’s strategy and rapid growth of the industry scale exert rising pressure on China’s tourism to reduce carbon emissions. 2) Carbon emissions of China’s tourism account for 13%–14.6% of global tourism, and about 3% of China’s emissions overall. Chinese tourists’ per capita carbon emission is lower than half of the global level. 3) The Chinese government attaches great importance to energy-saving and carbon emission reduction. In the tourism industry, documents, standards and other regulative measures have been issued to ensure that business practitioners set up green operational and managerial systems. In the field of tourism transportation, China’s high-speed rail, new energy vehicles, and urban shared bicycles, have developed very rapidly in recent years, and they have effectively reduced the carbon emissions in traveling. Furthermore, this paper finds that Chinese tourists already have awareness and willingness for low-carbon tourism.

Population geography in China since the 1980s： Forging the links between population studies and human geography

This paper reviews the progress of population geography in China since the 1980 s. The review results suggest that contrary to the common perception of its invisibility and marginalized status in the field, tremendous progress has been made in population geography in China since the 1980 s. Population geographers have made significant contribution to the understanding of a wide range of population issues from geographical perspectives, including migration, urbanization, population distribution, the relationships between population, environment and resources, aging, marriage patterns, and migrants＇ crimes, although such contribution often did not appear in the geographical circle. Furthermore, population geographers have played an indispensable role in revitalizing population studies in China and forging its links to human geography, occupying an important position in this multi-disciplinary field. Population geographers＇ contribution to the areas of migration and urbanization research has been particularly significant, reflected in their leading roles in these areas＇ research. The paper demonstrates that as latecomers in the field after more than 20 years of isolation, population geographers in China have gone through a process of catching up and increasing engagement with developments in social sciences and increasing interaction with social scientists since the 1980 s, and have benefited greatly from it; however, there is a tendency for population geography to be increasingly alienated from the main stream human geography, a phenomenon similar to but not exactly the same as Anglo-American geography in the late 1990 s and early 2000 s. The paper argues that population geography is only half way in the course to forge the links between population studies and human geography, and it needs to return to geographical sciences to strike a healthy balance between the field of population studies and that of human geography, and promote its further development in a multi-disciplinary field.

1978年以来中国旅游地理学的检讨与反思

自1978年以来,中国旅游地理学得到了较快发展,然而存在着理论和方法的研究薄弱、研究内容范围较为狭窄、重复工作较多且整体水平提高缓慢等问题。从以下角度反思中国旅游地理学25年的发展和问题,对这一学科将来的进步不无裨益。(1)学术研究与应用实践之间的关系。20多年来,中国旅游地理学界始终以服务于国民经济为主攻方向,旅游地理学的应用价值被无限夸大,反过来制约了其他方面的研究拓展和深入。实际上,旅游地理学研究,绝不只是一个经济问题,它也需要关注社会公平、环境伦理。(2)研究的观念与目标。中国旅游地理学有必要树立新的研究观念,认清自身的研究状态。没有反省、没有自我的怀疑、没有批判和创新的研究,其研究贡献是非常有限的。(3)研究的方法与成果。实证研究在过去25年的中国旅游地理研究中是一种常见方法,然而,不能把利用数学和量化的方法来进行研究看作解决问题的唯一途径,况且低水平的实证研究有时会成为无价值的案例堆积,浪费研究资源和研究者的时间与精力。对研究成果应该有新的认识:该成果的真正价值是什么?国内外类似成果的差异(而不仅仅是差距)在哪里?如何确认和尊重该成果的知识产权?(4)应对危机与挑战。

“首都都市度假旅游圈”对承德市旅游空间变动的影响

承德市长期以来以观光旅游为主,以避暑山庄和外八庙为核心,形成了凝聚式的区域旅游空间结构。随着“首都都市旅游度假圈”的形成,在休闲度假旅游市场需求驱动之下,承德市紧邻京津的区位优势将导致区域旅游系统空间结构发生变化。本文根据距离衰减规律,采用“时间距离法”对“首都都市旅游度假圈”的范围做了界定。其次,本文从市场需求特征、区位特征、交通条件的角度分析了“首都都市旅游度假圈”对承德旅游空间结构的影响。最后,本文根据承德市旅游市场的发展趋势、旅游资源结构、区域旅游交通状况、旅游业发展基础、旅游业空间网络的完备性等原则,重新构建了由旅游目的地区域、旅游区、旅游节点、入口通道和客源市场等六大要素组成的承德市旅游系统空间结构模式,即以避暑山庄、外八庙为主的中部遗产旅游区、以森林草原为主的北部草原旅游区和以山水风光为主的南部旅游区构成的“一体两翼”模式,并据此提出了承德市旅游系统空间重构的相应对策。

中国世界遗产类旅游产品的感知度研究

中国世界遗产地开发旅游已经成为一种热潮。事实也说明遗产地确实具有开发旅游的先天优势。但是,通过在北京、广州、珠海三地的问卷调查发现,国内各世界遗产地在国内游客的感知中并未处于相同的地位,而存在较大的差异。成为世界遗产地并不就意味着绝对的旅游吸引力。世界遗产地名誉的获得是影响游客感知、促进旅游发展的一个重要因素,而非唯一因素。决定旅游地发展的往往是多方面因素共同作用的结果。因此,世界遗产地开发旅游不能仅仅依靠遗产地名誉的获得,而要结合实际、合理规划、恰当宣传,进而促进其旅游的全面发展。
