The Spatial Structure Of The Growing Tourist Destination With The Tourists' Behavior

A upsurge of the exploitation of the tourism destination has been aroused by a rapidly development of tourism along with the civil demand. However, many destination, which are at the eraly stage of development,have been out of order for lacking of the guide of theory. Therefore,under the theory of lifecycle, the definition of growing destination is discussed in the paper.Then the spatial structure ,the tourist behavior and the development countermeasures of the growing destination have been researched with the case of Yan'an.Quantitative geography and the topology are employed in the analysis of the spatial structure in the growing destination, and the systemic analysis are achieved in the several tiers invoving sight spot, tourism line, destination spatial organization together with spatial meshwork among regions. Four innovations have been found in the aspect: Firstly, the main sight spots have a disperse spatial distributing while the senior spots are agglomerated around the city especially in Yan'an; Secondly, each line has a low but equipoise utilization; Thirdly, the tourism destination has such a simple organization that kinds of spatial forms are lack in it; Fourthly, the competition between the destination and other contiguous areas is far more powerful than cooperation on the development of tourism destination district.Based on the questionnaire result, the study is carried through including tourist statistical character, original market, tourism motivation and choice behavior. And then, several discoveries are exhibited: Firstly, senior educational background, young age and man are the three principal configuration to the tourists in Yan'an, most of them are students, civilian, workers and teachers; Secondly, the tourism motivation of this kind of destination almost has no diversification,such as an educational tourism in Yan'an. Thirdly, as main original market to Yan'an ,Shan'xi with its back-fence province as well as the developed areas embodied a high concentration of spatial organization. Fourly, a large-scale tourism behavior of the civil tourists is represented in Yan'an; at the same time, there are similar partiality for sight spots between tourists in long-distance and in vicinity area; besides,the phenomena of distantly declination is proved once more.Finally, according to above analysis, the countermeasure, which could realize the healthily and rapidly sustainable development of growing destination , should be introduced involving optimizing inner spatial structure of the destination, enhancing cooperation among areas, expanding various tourism production, broadening origin market, as well as constructing the mode of the unified destination management.
