China Yangtze River Delta Flow Tourism To The Gradient Diffusion

The spatial flow of inbound tourists flow is an important case in tourism geography research. With the development of inbound tourism, the unbalanced situation between the east and the west of China's inbound tourism industry becomes more obvious. The tourists flow's diffusion in these areas has drawn more attention from academic field. All of the traditional researches on the rule and the dynamic change of tourists flow's diffusion between the tourism origination and the tourism destination base themselves on the "push and pull" theory, neglecting the effects and influences of tourists flow's Transit Depot. Actually, in any country, the large transit depot plays a critical and dominant role on the inbound tourists flow's direction and flux.Referring to the National Science Fund Case's The Research on Tourism Flow's East-West Space Evolvement Mechanism in Typical Areas of China, the thesis is based on the diffusion theory, the district development theory, the space reciprocity theory, the competition theory, the grads process theory and the national tourism Stat. data and the "First-hand" marketing investigation of tourists by the research group. It takes the tourism flow's westward diffusion as the main line, combining the fix quality with the fix quantity research method, integrating the theory research and the demonstration analysis, analyzing the past researches on the flow and diffusion of the tourism flow, combining the actual situation of the inbound tourists flow's westward diffusion of Yangtze delta area, applying the conception of "tourism flow's transit depot", to expose the diffusion rule and the dynamic change trend of the Yangtze delta area's inbound tourism flow. It will serve the inbound tourism marketing expansion, the tourism management and the tourism planning.The main research includes the following aspects:First, the thesis calculates and analyzes the direction, flux, velocity, density, time and spatial dynamic change, equilibrium, competition state etc. and the quantity elements of inbound tourism flow's westward diffusion in the Yangtze delta area, and classifies the typical tourism areas to which tourism flow's main diffusion moves. And then it makes the descriptive analysis of behavior difference of inbound tourism flow's west diffusion in the Yangtze delta area through basing itself on the marketing investigation of typical tourism area.Second, the thesis establishes the origination-transit-destination mode of inbound tourism flow's diffusion on the transferring perspective of view through relying on summary and evaluation of the traditional tourism flow's flowing mode, and analyzing the influential factors of the tourists' self-push power, pull power from the destination, the transit power from the transit depot and the friction between the transit depot and the destination, the thesis establishes the origination-transit-destination mode of inbound tourism flow's diffusion on the transferring perspective of view.Third, the thesis makes grads classification of the inbound tourism flow's west diffusion by combining with the marketing investigation data, and then calculating the typical tourism areas' diffusion fields. Meanwhile it also establishes the fix quantity model of different grads inbound tourism flow with analyzing synthetic effects of the push power, the pull power, the transit power, and the friction power.The last, the thesis analyzes the relativity and the interspace network of the inbound tourism flow between the Yangtze Delta Area and the typical western areas, and men indicates the tourism relationship between them and its future direction.The followings are conclusions from this research:(1) The Yangtze Delta Area's inbound tourists mainly flow to the big Xi'an tourism area, the Chuan-Yu tourism area, and the Yun-Gui tourism area. Because of different tourism features in different tourism areas, the tourism flows have different behavior differences. They have different tourism motivations, and different sex, age, occupations, education level, and family structures.(2) The Yangtze area's inbound tourism flow is not only influenced by the push and pull power, but also the transit depot's transit power, the friction power between the transit depot and the destination. The resultant force's magnitude and direction determine the inbound tourism flow's westward diffusion. The thesis establishes the diffusion mode from the perspective of transit through analyzing the power exerting on tourist(3) The diffusion of the Yangtze Delta Area's inbound tourism flow can be classified into three grads: the first is centered on Shanghai and diffuses to the Yangtze delta area, the second on the Yangtze Delta Area and diffuses to the typical western tourism area and the third on the typical western area's core city and diffuses to the peripheral western area. Different grads inbound tourism flows have different diffusion quantitative models.(4) Except that the Yangtze delta area's inbound tourism flow has minus relativity with the big Xi'an tourism area's Japan tourism flow, it has high correlation with other tourism flews. In the typical western areas, big Xi'an tourism area shows high correlation with the Chuan-Yu tourism area in Japan's tourism flow, non-relativity with Yun-Gui tourism area in Thailand's tourism flow, and other tourism flows all show high correlation.The followings are the innovations of the thesis: (1) The traditional tourism flow's diffusion theory considers that the tourism flow diffusion is influenced by the push and pull power, but the thesis thinks that besides of the influences of the push, pull and friction power, the transit power is another important power.(2) The thesis makes innovations with the method of tourism flow research. It analyzes the power situation of tourist diffusion from the perspective of power in physics, as the space distance of tourist diffusion and tourism destinations increase, its tourism energy continuously reduces, and then changes into work (tourism experience).(3) The thesis establishes the O-T-D diffusion mode through analyzing tourist's push power, pull power, friction power between the transit depot and the destination, the transit power of transit depot, and then puts forward corresponding quantitative model of different grads inbound tourism flows.(4) Most traditional tourism flows are analyzed from the provincial layer. However, the thesis analyzes the relativity of the four typical tourism areas (the Yangtze Delta Area, the big Xi'an Area, the Chuan-Yu Area, and the Yun-Gui Area) on the macroscopical and middlescopical layers, putting forward the future direction of inbound tourism.
