Spatial Dislocation Analysis of Tourism Economy and Its Influencing Factors in Jiangsu Province

Taking 13 prefecture-level cities in Jiangsu Province as the research object, based on the theory of spatial dislocation, the gravity model and two-dimensional composite matrix method are used to analyze the spatial dislocation between tourism resources, permanent population and other factors in Jiangsu Province and tourism revenue. The results show that the population center, the center of tourism resources, the center of tourist numbers, the center of economic development, and the center of tourism revenue of Jiangsu Province are all biased toward the southern part of Jiangsu Province. From the analysis of four sets of two-dimensional composite matrixes, 13 prefecture-level cities have synchronized coordination and also have positive and negative dislocation types. Southern Jiangsu has the best synchronization and coordination, and northern Jiangsu has a strong negative dislocation trend; the combination of tourist numbers and tourism revenue is the strongest, but the dislocation is weak; population and tourism revenue have a strong positive dislocation trend; there is a strong negative dislocation trend between economic development and tourism revenue; the matrix combination of Nanjing, Wuxi and Suzhou has good synchronization; the city of Xuzhou in northern Jiangsu has a strong negative dislocation. In view of the results of spatial dislocation analysis, suggestions for improvement and optimization are put forward to promote the high-quality development of tourism in Jiangsu Province

Spatial structure characteristics and effects of self-driving tourism flows before and after the new crown epidemic: Taking Yunnan Province as an example

To obtain the impact of the new crown epidemic on the spatial structure of self-driving tourism flow during the Spring Festival Golden Week, social network and spatial statistical analysis methods are used to integrate road traffic flow big data and travelogue data to analyze the spatial structure characteristics of self-driving tourism flow in Yunnan Province during the Spring Festival Golden Week in 2018 and 2021. The results show that: 1) The self-driving tourism flow in Yunnan Province during the Spring Festival Golden Week in 2021 shows the “dragonfly” spatial clustering characteristics of “two centers, one axis and two wings”, and the new sub-core area of Qujing is added to the core area of Kunming in 2018, and the self-driving tourists are affected by the epidemic. 2) During the Spring Festival Golden Week in 2021, compared with 2018, there is no significant change in the spatial structure of tourism flow into Yunnan from outside the province, but the degree of intermediary centrality of provincial boundary nodes is significantly weakened, and the self-driving tourism flow at Wenshan junction and Lijiang junction decreased by 72.54% and 87.26%. The New Crown epidemic hindered the development of self-drive tours into Yunnan from Guangxi and Sichuan. 3) During the New Crown epidemic, tourists were less willing to visit hotspot cities, and showed overall behavioral preference characteristics of avoiding crowd gathering and focusing on health and safety. Under the New Crown epidemic, the tendency of long-distance self-driving shifts to close distance self-driving between neighboring cities centered on Kunming.Keywords: self-driving tourism flow; spatial structure characteristics; COVID-19; Golden Week; social network analysis; Yunnan Provinc

Research on the Optimization and Upgrading of Marine Tourism Products in Shanghai

The ocean has become a new theme of the world economic competition. The development of marine industry is an inevitable measure to stabilize the sustainable and healthy development of China’s national economy. As a leading industry of marine economy, marine tourism has great potential for development.Marine tourism products are the foundation and power source of marine tourism development. The optimization of tourism products plays the most direct and key role in the upgrading of tourism industry. Shanghai, located in the center of Yangtze River Delta, is one of the most developed regions in China. However, with the increasing competition in the tourism market, the development of marine tourism is inevitable.This paper analyzes the general situation of marine tourism resources and the development status of tourism products in Shanghai, and probes into the specific countermeasures for the upgrading of its products, so as to promote the high-efficiency development of marine economy in Shanghai

The impact of high-speed railway on tourism spatial structures between two adjoining metropolitan cities in China: Beijing and Tianjin

This study examines the impact of HSR services on the tourism spatial interactions between Beijing and Tianjin in China. Data were collected from official statistical reports. A method of derivation was developed and several indexes, such as tourism mean center, and tourism standard distance are further applied to measure temporal-spatial changes between the two adjoining cities. The results reveal the dynamic tourism spatial interaction between Beijing and Tianjin has been influenced by a range of factors including population, destination attractiveness, disposable income and income elasticity, changes in the domestic and international spatial structure of tourist flows and how destination management organizations react to the changes. The study has implications for both the research and practice of city transportation and tourism development

Study on Tourism Economic Ecology of Provincial Capital Cities along the Silk Road

The Silk Road tourism area master plan (2008-2020) launched by the National Tourism Administration in 2007 takes the China section of the desert oasis silk road as the planning object, involving Henan Province, Shaanxi Province, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Gansu Province, Qinghai Province, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Xinjiang production and Construction Corps. Xi'an, Lanzhou, Xining, Yinchuan and Urumqi are all excellent tourist cities accepted by the National Tourism Administration, and they are also hot tourist cities in their provinces. Therefore, this paper selects the five provincial capital cities as the research object, and investigates the coordination degree of the tourism economic system and the ecological environment system of these cities, which is helpful to clarify the problems existing in the current tourism development and ecological environment protection of these cities. These studies can also provide reference for the relevant departments to formulate tourism development and ecological environment protection policies, and also have a certain reference for other cities along the silk road

Effectively Integrate Tourism Product Development into the Tourism Poverty Alleviation Demonstration Zone: Taking Sichuan Ebian Yi Autonomous County as an Example

In the establishment of provincial tourism poverty alleviation demonstration zones, the utilization and development of local tourism resources are inseparable. As an important part of tourism products, tourism commodities are not only an important indicator for the creation of demonstration areas, but also a key link for resource utilization and poverty alleviation. After comprehensively analyzing the practice process of tourism commodity development in the provincial-level tourism poverty alleviation demonstration zone in the bordering Ebian Yi nationality autonomous county, this paper puts forward the ideas and countermeasures for the development of tourism commodities in the establishment of provincial tourism poverty alleviation demonstration zone

Research on China's Population Structure in the New Situation

To analyze the impact of the “two-child policy” on the population size and structure, first of all, the birth rate, the ratio of men and women, and the ratio of urban and rural population are used as indicators. Before and after the dispersion, then establish a PDE model, and compare it with the population predicted by the gray forecast to analyze the mitigation of the ageing of the second child policy; continue to analyze the impact of changes in the population structure on the national economy, and select the male and female ratio and the labor population The urban-rural population ratio is used as an index to establish a multiple regression equation for analysis, and a related regression equation is obtained. Finally, the future marriage problem is analyzed, considering only the difference in the number of men and women entering the marriageable period at the same time. The difference in the number of marriageable populations is analyzed through the difference in the number of men and women born at birth, focusing on a dynamic perspective

Influencing factors and stage characteristics of intelligent construction of rural tourism in Fujian

With the help of qualitative analysis software Nvivo11, this paper makes a rooted analysis on the field text data of six rural tourism spots in Fujian Province. It shows that the influencing factors of the intelligent construction of rural tourism mainly including human capital, performance expectation, effort expectation, social impact, market demand and capital conditions. In the initial construction stage of rural tourism, the influence of capital conditions and human capital is stronger; in its development and construction stage, the impact of performance expectation is the most critical, followed by effort expectation and capital conditions; In its relatively mature stage, performance expectation and effort expectation are the dominant factors, followed by social influence. To promote the intelligent construction of rural tourism, effective measures should be taken according to the key factors in different development stages. It should be guided by the actual needs of tourists, pay attention to the fit with the positioning of rural tourism destination and target market, and avoid being intelligent for the sake of intelligence
