Regional Cooperation In Tourism The Main Behavior Of Research And Cooperation In The Path

Economic globalization and regional economic integration are the two major trends in the world's economic development. Regional economic integration is more active and its main form is regional economic cooperation. With the deepening of regional economic dependence, the number of regional economic cooperation increase and the degree of cooperation was deepened and its scale was expanded. China's economic development reflects this trend, for example the Pearl River Delta, the Yangtze River Delta, the economic circle of Beijing, Tianjin and Tangshan, the Bohai Sea economic zone. Tourism is effectively the main driving forces to increase our economic growth. Tourism industry has strong correlation characteristics of relevant industries and can improve the region's overall economic strength.The paper follows logical thinking, which is from driving system analysis to behaviors of collaborative actors to the successful experiences of regional cooperation, which are guided the tourism cooperation practice in Western China. The basic theories of regional tourism cooperation include regional cooperation in the theory of geography, regional economic growth theory and Game Theory and so on. Division of labor theory embodies the idea of regional cooperation. The logical starting point for regional tourism cooperation is regional economic growth theory. System theory is the main tool to analyze the driving system of regional tourism cooperation. Game Theory is the main tool to analyze the behavior of collaborative actors.The theories of regional tourism cooperation include driving system, of regional tourism cooperation, the behavior of collaborative actors and the path of regional tourism cooperation. The fundamental driving force for regional tourism cooperation is to pursuit the rent of Regional Tourism Cooperation. The rent includes positive rent and negative rent. The driving system of regional tourism cooperation mainly consists of gravitational system, interference system and auxiliary system. The gravitational system and interference system leads to the cooperation and competition. If the auxiliary system supports and securities it, regional tourism cooperation will become reality. The gravitational system and auxiliary system are pull systems and interference system is the resistance. It forms a stable regional tourism cooperation organization on the joint action of pull system and resistance system. The main regional tourism cooperation includes local government, enterprise, non-governmental organizations and community residents. Local governments are the management actors, enterprises are the main market players, non-governmental organizations are the involved actors, and community residents are the main influence actors. In the early stage development of regional tourism cooperation, because the market actors absent, NGOs' functions are not clear, community residents'impacts are limited, which determined that local government in Regional Tourism Cooperation act as leading role in regional tourism cooperation. As the market matures and development of enterprise growth, NGOs'functions expanded and community residents'awareness increases, local governments' leading role gradually diminished. At the mature stage, the functions of self-organization gradually emerging and play a important role after that.There are many cooperation models of regional tourism cooperation. The path of regional tourism cooperation mainly analyze from local governments, entrepreneurs, NGOs and community residents. In order to achieve the objectives of regional tourism cooperation, the governments must adjust its'regional policy and guide community residents correctly and entrepreneurs must construct tourism enterprises based on the value-chain and NGO must be autonomy and function.The paper selected three successful regional tourism cooperation-EU, China Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta. EU's success was the similarities of EU's history, culture and traditional economic and strong impetus to tourism development of European organization. The successful experience of cooperation in Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta are developed region's economy, complementary resources, steady tourist market and the model of market-driven, government service. While the performances of their problems are more prominent, they are:the cooperation of the main market-oriented behavior is not enough and the radiation area of central cities and node cities and so on.Western region includes 12 provinces and occupies 71.5% China's land area. Rich tourism resources were the basic tourism development in western regions. While compared to the eastern and central regions, the tourism industry and economic in western regions are relatively backward and small-scale tourism enterprises' economic benefits are negative, which determines that to catch up with the eastern and central region, the western region must be cooperate each other. It provides protection and support to tourism cooperation of western region that the better regional resources, the similarities and complementarities of regional culture and the better macro-environments.Regional tourism cooperation in the western region has gone through embryonic stage, development stage and climax stage. There are many cooperation problems, such as the singe content of cooperation, unbalanced development of regional tourism industry, the distribution contradiction and conflict of regional resources development and protection. The reasons are related closely with the inadequate software and hardware in western region, especially that actors have their own shortcomings.The best regional cooperation model in west is the network spatial structure centered on "point-axis" development. As management actor, local governments' paths are management innovation, formulating Regional Tourism Development Master Plan, incentive system and improving tourism market. As market actor, entrepreneurs should build enterprise groups based-on value chain and enterprise information technology cooperation based-on web. As participation actor, NGO should be autonomy and marketization. Formulate incentive and restraint mechanisms to guide the behavior of the effects actors.
