Study On The Correlation Of Tourism Industry And Integration Of Regional Tourism

In the recent years, the tourist industry in China has been developing fast, which helps much with the energetic exploitation of tourist resources in all places, but on the other hand makes the tourist market competition among regions ever fiercer. For regional tourism to achieve a nice and complementary space relation and to avoid disorder in exploitation, competition and management, it is important that the tourism in each place goes across the administrative borderline in a way of regional integration. The article had preliminary exploration of the regional tourism integration (RTI), taking the example of karst terrain in Guizhou Province.There are nine parts involved:Part 1: Introduction, including the background study, reviews of researches both inside and outside China, and the study design. It summarized the background of RTI, and further proposed the reasons and meaning of such study on tourism integration of Guizhou karst terrain, combining the current researches in this field. It laid the foundation for the later discussion.Part 2: Theoretical bases for RTI. It involved the theories of regional tourism system and those of regional space structure, firmly basing the study on these theories.Part 3: Basic analysis on the RTI. It described the necessity of RTI, RTI advantages and the interactive relation between regional tourism competition and cooperation.Part 4: Analysis on the current situation of the advance in tourist economy in Guizhou karst terrain. It defined the range of Guizhou karst terrain, and found based on the analysis the existing problems in tourist development of the terrain, which carried a foreshadowing of how to solve these problems.Part 5: The Guizhou Karst terrain tourist industry correlation and the optimization grouping countermeasure. It made for the first time quantitative analysis on relation between tourism and its relevant industries by using synthetically the grey systems relational degree and the correlation analysis model. It then suggested an optimization grouping countermeasure.Part 6-9: Model selection of regional tourism space integration, factor analysis on the motive force of the development of Guizhou karst terrain tourism, establishment of the growth pole of tourist economy in Guizhou karst terrain, and construction of tourism economic circle. A"point-axis-circle"model suitable for the tourist development in Guizhou karst terrain was selected with consideration of both the integration model of regional tourism and Guizhou provincial conditions. Five factors as the motive force for the tourist development in Guizhou karst terrain were proposed. The growth pole of tourist economy in Guizhou karst terrain was defined in the initial use of the shift-share analysis. In the end, a tourism economic circle of Guizhou karst terrain was constructed, as Guiyang, Anshun and Zunyi being the first-level tourist circle, high graded roads as well as national and provincial highways being the axis, and the kernel layer, hinterland layer, radiation layer and extension layer of the tourist economy being the spatial radius.
