Research On The Spatial Layout And Influencing Factors Of Hotel Industry Based On Geographical Detector

Since the reform and opening up,China’s economy has continued to develop,which has comprehensively improved and rapidly developed people’s living standards as well as the tourism industry.In the context of the current global tourism development,the hotel industry,as an important role in the tourism industry,is facing broad development opportunities and challenges.Xi’an,as one of the national central cities in China,is also an important tourist city,whose hotel industry develops rapidly.Therefore,the research on its spatial layout and influencing factors has strong theoretical value and practical significance.Based on the research of related scholars,this paper takes star hotels and economic hotels in Xi’an as the research object,and uses Arc GIS spatial analysis software as well as geographic detector software,supported by network POI(Points of Interests)data,to detect and study the spatial distribution characteristics and influencing factors of Xi’an’s hotel industry.The main conclusions are as follows:First,the spatial distribution of the hotel industry in Xi’an is an uneven feature.The distribution of different types of hotels in different urban areas varies widely.Generally,bounded by Metro Line 1,the overall characteristics of the distribution is “sparse in south and dense in north”,which is related to different development level and function distribution of different urban areas.Second,the hotel industry in Xi’an shows the characteristics of the diffusion distribution along the Metro Line 2,centering on the Bell Tower.Based on this,the economic hotels are distributed in a wide range,forming a number of high-density distribution areas in different urban areas;star hotels are distributed in blocks,with a small degree of agglomeration.All kinds of hotels tend to be distributed around shopping malls,medical institutions,colleges and universities,administrative institutions as well as other urban functional areas.Third,the degree of hotel agglomeration increases with the improvement of its level,which is determined by the difference of service target group and customer market of different types of hotels.The spatial distribution of different types of hotels deviates from each other.Five-star hotels are distributed in the east-west direction,while economic hotels are distributed in the north-south direction.The reason for this deviation lies in the different influence of traffic conditions on different types of hotels.Fourth,the results of the geographical detector show that the location environment and traffic factors have the most significant impact on the layout of the hotel industry,followed by the level of economic development and tourist attraction factors;in the interaction detection,it shows that the explanatory power of any two factors is greater than that of either one of them,indicating that the distribution of the hotel industry in Xi’an is the result of a combination of factors.
