On Cluster Effect Of Guilin Tourism Industry

Industry Cluster, as an important economic phenomena in Regional Economics, has been the main concern when scholars do the research on the region economical problem with the development of the Economic Geography. The development of tourism industry cluster in china becomes more mature under the guidance of government consciously and autonomous actions of the market. It has formed some tourism industry clusters such as theme park cluster in Pearl River Delta and costal tourism industry cluster around Bohai Bay and etc. These tourism industry clusters give full paly to the industry cluster effect and form the strong regional competitiveness and provide the impetus for the sustainable development of regional tourism industry. As the industry that has significant spatial agglomeration, tourism industry cluster development could promote the upgrading of regional tourism industry structure, accelerate the development process of modern tourism industry and make tourism industry development toward high value increment, high technicality and high intellectual-cultural orientation. As the traditional sightseeing tourist destination in building international tourist destination, Guilin also manages to look for the way to sustainable development in its tourism industry development. To lead Guilin tourism development into new stage, it has developed diversification tourism product, strengthened the tourism cooperation among areas and established development pattern of big Guilin tourism circle. Guilin, as traditional landscape sightseeing tourist destination, drives12county tourism area attraction actively with two river and four lake in urban area and Lijiang River scenic beauty and formes tourism cluster which relies on scenic resources as core attraction. In this context, this paper studies Guilin regional tourism industry cluster level and cluster effect imitating industry cluster theories and research methods of manufacturing industry cluster. It could provide some reference proposals for the spatial distribution of Guilin tourist product and structure layout of tourism industry. The research on Guilin tourism industry cluster effect can be divided into5parts.The first part is mainly about the paper’s research significance and objectives. We could find that scholars mostly focus on the qualitative research on tourism industry cluster level and effect and pay less attention on its quantitative research through summarizing tourism industry cluster related research status of international and domestic academics from four aspects. There has not formed perfect method system so far. Scholars hardly combine the tourism industry cluster level index in quantitative studying on tourism industry cluster effect especially, thus on the basis of qualitative research of scholars, this paper studies Guilin tourism industry cluster effect combined with the quantitative research methods and tries to provide reference for the research on regional tourism industry cluster effect.Based on the theories of industry cluster and cluster effect, the second part summarizes the theories related to the analyze of tourism industry cluster effect and elaborates the author’s intension understanding of tourism industry cluster combined with the basis theory research on tourism industry effect of many scholars. It also sums up two aspects of tourism industry cluster effect and points out the guiding principles in researching Guilin tourism industry cluster effect.In the third part, we find out that although Guilin tourism industry cluster process appear good posture, it also exists lots of shortage through the qualitative and quantitative description on Guilin tourism industry cluster from four aspects. At present, there exists many difficulties and problems in Guilin tourism industry development, such as the shortage of tourism development total input, imperfection of tourism infrastructure, the restriction of traffic bottleneck to tourism development. Besides the transformation of its tourism reception and service function becomes more and more urgent, the same kind of tourist attractions competes each other intensely and service quality in tourism and overall quality of employed person still need to be more promoted.Based on the minces data information, the fourth part concludes the computed result of Guilin tourism industry cluster level combined with industry cluster measure index such as spatial Gini coefficient, Herfindahl coefficient and amended E-G index. Through the analyze, we can arrive that the degree of Guilin tourism industry cluster remains relatively high level, but it appears downswing in recent years. The change of cluster degree illustrates that the development of Guilin tourism industry cluster tends to be more mature and the industry spatial distribution becomes more and more balance and the industry structure is being more reasonable. This developing tendency accords with the requirement of building international famous scenic spots in Guilin.Through building the econometric model-C-D production function, we calculate and measure the influence of Guilin tourism industry cluster level towards macroeconomic and related industry development. From the result above, we find that competition effect, brand effect and innovation effect formed in the process of Guilin tourism industry cluster development has produced some impetus to Guilin macroeconomic and related industry and especially promoted lodging industry and catering industry largely. In additional, it has produced relevance promoting effect on the tourism derivative industry in some degree.Combined with the quantitative and qualitative research of Guilin tourism industry cluster,we think that Guilin tourism industry cluster has some size effect and economic effect on the development of Guilin macroeconomic and tourism industry. To promote the process of Guilin tourism industry cluster better and build Guilin international tourist destination, this part puts forward3purposeful aspects advices from reginal resource spatial distribution, region tourism industry cluster mechanism and the government policy’s role in promoting cluster.
