The Three Times Geographical Effect On Spatial Differentiation Of Chinese Tourism Industry

The research on the spatial differentiation of tourism industry is an important content not only in the field of tourism geography but also the field of human geography, which has since received widespread attention in the academic circles. On the basis of previous research, We put forward the impacts of the three times geographical effect on the spatial differentiation of Chinese tourism industry, introduce the method of Agent-based simulation, design the simulation system of the spatial distribution of Chinese tourism industry, and explore its formation mechanism and dynamic process. The dissertation consists of six chapters according to the structure from observation of phenomena to proposed hypothesis to experimental design to simulation-validation.In "Introduction", firstly through concluding the study on spatial differentiation of tourism industry. We find that studying on the spatial differentiation of tourism industry at home and abroad mainly focus on four areas, such as the spatial differentiation of tourists, the spatial differentiation of tourism resource, the spatial differentiation of tourist reception facilities(hotels, travel agencies and so on) and the spatial differentiation of tourism impact. In addition, since the tourism industry is a complex system, we can’t know exactly about the formation mechanism and dynamic process of the spatial differentiation of Chinese tourism industry. And which also restricts the research progress in this field to some extent, However, ABS still has inherent advantages in the study of complex system, so this article introduces the concept of Agent and ABS method.In Chapter2, in allusion to the present situation of tourism development in China, in order to measure the presentation of the spatial differentiation of tourists, the spatial differentiation of tourism resource, the spatial differentiation of tourists tourist reception facilities and the spatial differentiation of tourists tourism impact, We Select respectively the number and spatial distribution of4A-class scenic, the number of domestic tourists, the number of star-rated hotel beds as well as the employees of tourism and tourism revenues, which jointly confirm the phenomenon of spatial differentiation existed for tourism development in China. However from the above five indexes We find the spatial distribution of domestic tourism in the direction be identical with the other four indexes.It is well known that the tourist locats a very important position in the development of tourism. This article therefore thinks the spatial differentiation status of the tourists can represent the spatial differentiation status of the whole Chinese tourism industry. To this end. We have adopted the number of domestic tourists as an expression of the spatial differentiation of tourism.In Chapter3, This chapter integrates research achievements of the predecessors, put forward the impacts of the three times geographical effect on the spatial differentiation of Chinese tourism industry, namely the development of the tourism industry at the early stage is subject to the first time geographical (regional tourist resources) effect, or resource orientation; With the continued development of the tourism industry, the development of the tourism industry at this time is subject to the second time geographical (tourist market and location) effect, or market orientation; Soon afterwards, On the basis of resources and the impact of the market the personal preference of tourists and the cultural differences of tourism destination further influence the choice of travel destination, then form the third time geographical effect of the tourism development (the cultural preferences of tourists),or cultural orientation. Based on this perspective, we’ve built the ABS model of tourism structure under the three times geographical effect. For instance,from the temporal and the subject property of spatial location of the tourists, we’ve built the Scale model of the tourist agent in tourist generating region:Tj=PjCjα, proposed the improvement of tourism space interaction model then On the basis of that, we obtain the probability model Further,the paper describe respectively the simulated space environment under the three times geographical effect, and explain the behavior rule of the tourist agent under the three times geographical effect in detail,all of this Lays the foundation for system designing.In Chapter4,This chapter is based mainly on the theory model of the third chapter’s proposed. We use Visual Basic6and Mapobjects, and integrate Microsoft Access databases to develop system, then design and achieve the simulation system of the spatial differentiation of Chinese tourism industry.In Chapter5:Firstly,the source and approach of all the datas were illustrated.model parameters were estimated as well.Secend,we demonstrate the different dynamic process of the the three times geographical effect on China’s tourism industry relying on the theoretical foundation and ABS.Third, the results were compared with actual values.and which show that the three times geographical effect can better fit the actual situation.In conclusion.that the three times geographical effect do exist.at the same time, those also confirm the validity of the theory.In Chapter6:Summarize the full article.and put forward some further discussions,such as tourist Agents.the quantification of the destination tourism attraction,the effective time to visit the definition of the tourists’ cultural preferences on destinations. Of course, we will continue to pay more attention in future research.
