The Concept Of Regional Tourism Planning Exploration Research

Tourism planning framework needs to be reformed urgently in the context of globalization. As for the rearrangement, tourist conceptual planning, which aims to the long-term developmental orientation and object of certain a tourism area, must be embraced and serve as the utmost strategic guidance for the whole set of tourism planning. This thesis intends to advance some key points of tourist conceptual planning, including primary principles, theoretical framework and analysis/research methods, etc.Based on the inner and outer mains of tourism area, tourist conceptual planning tries to finger out smartly some feasible and long-term aims and orientations, set up the correspondent while key strategies that offer distinctive and unique guidance for the tourism system. Tourist conceptual planning distinguishes itself by 4 basic characteristics, namely, its long-run orientation and aims, its strong relation with the background of tourism area, its insistence of putting strategies on the paramount position and its inner interaction between the strategies and the cognized orientation/aims. Meanwhile, tourist conceptual planning enjoys a few conspicuous features, that is, strategic, forerunning, flexible, dialectic and analytic and so on. At present, tourist conceptual planning embodies the intrinsic qualities of probing and serving. May tourist conceptual planning a formal planning genre, there would be a greater force to build up the time-space-strategy-based tourism planning paradigm.With its unique long-term object orientation, tourist conceptual planning may conform to a 4-step analytic routine, which can be tripped to a framework composed of development object, then the authentic environment of tourism area, then the feasible strategies, then the marshal/configuration of local tourism system. As far as tourist conceptual planning is set out, its theoretical made-up should branch out into the comprehensive environment of tourism, the background of tourism area, the competitive orientation and kernel strategic system for tourism area, the systematic rearrangement for tourism area and the feedback mechanism, etc.This thesis also reviews the general analytic methods for tourist conceptual planning. As initiative aspects, two new methods are supplemented, which are based on security pattern of tourism development and on potential index of tourism resources respectively.Many advancements and new findings are gained in this thesis, but lots of points remain further research. It should be convinced that tourist conceptual planning will play an increasingly important role in the development of tourism.
