Studyonthe Spatial Distributionof Star Hotelsin Chengdu

With the economy developing in a great speed, the tourism industry is blossomingas well. As people’s living standard being higher, the demand of having a travelbecoming greater; frequenter international business and more foreign tourists inspireshotel industry developing fast. As the economic, political and cultural center of westernarea in China, Chengdu has plenty tourism resources anda thriving tourist industry.Star hotels as part of accommodation facilities make great contributions to Chengdu’sdevelopment. Therefore, studying the spatial distribution characteristics of star hotelsin Chengdu has both practical andtheoretical meanings for the development andcommercial land planning of Chengdu.In this paper, star hotels(all1-5star hotels in Chengdu) are chose as studyobject,ArcGIS and SPSS technologies are respectively used to analyze the spatialdistribution characters and influencing factors of Chengdu star hotels. The primaryconclusions of the study are followed:(1) In the aspect of analyzing star hotels spatial distribution characters, themethod for analysis of nearest neighbor distance is used. Among all areas in Chengdu,the five major districts have most star hotels. In five major districts, all star hotelsdistribute collectively, different levels of star hotels also distribute collectively. WithTianfu Square as the core, high level star hotels lie in inside circle, lower levels outsidethe high levels. And the star hotels lie in major traffic lines collectively.(2) Combined with home and inside researchers’ study and considered obtainmentof dataof the factors influencing star hotels spatial distribution,twelve factors arechose.Then according to the data from1995to2011, multiple regression analysis isapplied. The regression model shows that fixed asset investment, number of taxis andpopulation are the main influencing factors. (3) Based on the systematic analysis of star hotel spatial distribution charactersand influencing factors, some advice for space optimization are proposed:①Strengthening macro adjustment and control, leading star hotels distributing morereasonable;②Optimizing hotels distribution at traffic lines;③Continuing to greenthe whole city and constructing the relaxing facilities;④Synchronization with the cityand tourism planning.
