Research On The Spatial Pattern Evolution Of The China’s National 5a Tourism Attractions

Scenic spot is the attractive center of tourism consumption and the most concentrated place for tourism activities. As the highest standard in domestic scenic spot construction at present, the spatial distribution of the China’s national 5A Tourism Attractions have an important impact on the scale of regional tourism economies and the spatial-temporal pattern of tourism flow. So it is obviously that analyzing the spatial characteristics and evolution rules of the China’s national 5A Tourism Attractions could provide many supports for the rational evaluation the overall status of the tourism and guide the development of Chinese tourism.Firstly, this article analyzed the spatial evolution pattern of tourism, discusses how to divide the tourism spatial pattern evolution stage. Then combined with the spatial agglomeration theory, tourism demand theory, tourism psychology principle and so on discusses the dynamic evolution mechanism of resources, economy, traffic factors effected on the tourism spatial pattern,and conceived in the optimal path of the spatial pattern of tourist attractions. On the basis of the above study, this article from the combination of time and space perspective, using time series data, using the mathematical methods of Geography in spatial analysis methods and ArcGIS spatial analysis tools, study the China’s national 5A Tourism Attractions from different perspectives. Research shows that:From a national perspective, the spatial structure type of the China’s national 5A Tourism Attractions keeps a condensed type; the average center of the China’s national 5A Tourism Attractions has been located in the middle of China in the past 7 years; the distributed gap between the east-west direction is larger, more western less in the eastern, the distribution in north-south direction is more balanced. From provincial, the degree of agglomeration of the China’s national 5A Tourism Attractions in province keeps growing pace with the times; the distribution in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Hubei, Yunnan and other 14 provinces is more and has a strong growth rate. From the non-administrative units, the overall density pattern of the China’s national 5A Tourism Attractions always appears as higher in eastern and lower in the western, higher in coastal and lower in inland. In the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and the Yangtze Delta formed two high density areas.At last this article analyzes the spatial-distribution formation mechanism of theChina’s national 5A Tourism Attractions. It founds that three major factors ---tourism resources, economic level and traffic conditions, plays an important role in its spatial layout. Comparative analysis of tourism spatial distribution and the matching relation between the three factors, founds that the current spatial pattern of the China’s national 5A Tourism Attractions is reasonable. Then the article further points out some optimization directions according to the different matching relation.
