With the rapid growth of China’s national economy, the tourism industry has also been a lot of capital investment, and developed rapidly. The tourism industry has become a new growth point of national economy and one of the pillar industries in China. The size of the tourism industry continues to expand, increasing the level of development, so that the tourism industry in the region is more obvious agglomeration. Tourism industry cluster degree of development can not only play a catalytic role in enhancing the competitiveness of regional tourism, but also with the regional economic development are closely related. Tourism industry concentration problems, to enhance the strength of the regional tourism industry, cross-regional cooperation and win-win, to develop sustained and effective tourism planning and policy measures to achieve sustainable development, both theoretical and practical double meaning. As the important window of China to open to the west, Xinjiang has rich tourism resources, the tourism industry of Xinjiang has been a marked agglomeration, its concentration the degree of tourism industry development for the socio-economic leapfrog development has an important role.In this context, this paper takes Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region as a study area, 15 regions in Xinjiang as the research object, on the basis of industrial concentration and tourism industry cluster theory, based on the estimates of the tourism cluster of various regions in Xinjiang to analyze the degree of concentration of tourism around the city in 2004--2013 years evolution characteristics, use of regional competition entropy state model by the development of tourism around the Xinjiang city agglomeration to classify, established regression model between the gathering of tourism and regional economic development in Xinjiang to analyze the interaction between the two, the last light of the above analysis, the present situation of tourism development in Xinjiang, proposed rationalization measures and recommendations to tourism concentration on the development of Xinjiang, and a reference for future development of Xinjiang tourism planning.This paper draws the following conclusions:1. In 2004--2013 years, regional differences in relative and absolute concentration degree of Xinjiang tourism around the city were tested widening, that standard deviation(S) and coefficient of variation increases, development of regional tourism concentration degree is not balanced.2. Using of regional competition entropy state model by the development of tourism around the Xinjiang city agglomeration to divide into four regions: Advantages of the region(Yili, Turpan, Altay), the strength of the region(Changji, Bayinguoleng, Karamay), the potential of the region(Tacheng, Aksu,Boertala, Hami, Kirgiz, Kashgar, Hotan), weaknesses region(Urumqi, Shihezi).3. The degree of concentration of Xinjiang tourism revenue, tourist arrivals concentration degree, domestic tourist arrivals concentration degree, star hotels concentration degree, travel agencies and practitioners gather gathering degree of each one percentage point increase, the level of economic development will be increased 0.104,0.6,7.645,1.004,1.479, 0.12 percentage points.4. Xinjiang region GDP ratio, GDP per capita, the ratio of the total amount of consumer goods and the ratio of total imports and exports increase of one percentage point, respectively, will increase tourism concentration level of 4.864,-0.052,0.503, 2.002 percentage points.5. Based on the degree of concentration for the whole of Xinjiang tourism development and regional development, the government proposes to strengthen the leading role, the development of rational strategic planning, expansion of the tourism industry chain, to strengthen cooperation among tourism enterprises and fully tap tourism resources, improve the competitiveness of the tourism industry agglomeration level of development in Xinjiang. |
