(2)Make a descriptive study on FDI situation of hotel industry in China, and on the basis of FDI spillovers research model, using regression analysis, this research makes a study on the spillover effects of FDI, tests the direction of spillover effects of FDI in China’s hotel industry. (3)According to the actual situation and characteristics of China’s hotel industry, selecting the factors significantly influencing the spillover effects of FDI, this research analyzes these factors how to affect the spillover effects of FDI.The content of this research:on the basis of summarizing the previous research results of the spillover effects of FDI, this research expounds the characteristics and the present situation of China’s hotel industry.
