| In recent years, with the rapid development of regional tourism industry, tourism agglomeration increasingly appears, and plays an important role and significance in promoting the competitiveness of regional tourism industry and regional economic development. Under the promotion of the regional economy, tourism agglomeration forms and develops, and in the development of the regional economy, tourism agglomeration provides a strong impetus. The two complement and promote each other to maintain a harmonious relationship and embark on the coordinated and sustainable development road. But unfortunately, the current research in this area is still relatively scarce, many remaining in the level of simple data description or issue interpretation etc.In view of this, this paper based on a review of home and abroad relevant research selects physics’coupling relationship as the breakthrough point, on the one hand, from the theoretical level to analyze the coupling mechanism and spatial-temporal laws between tourism agglomeration and regional economy; on the other hand, from the empirical level to construct tourism agglomeration and regional economy’s coupling evaluation system and evaluation models, and through the measuring data to obtain the results of evaluating the coupling relationship between tourism agglomeration and regional economy in Luoyang, and then to establish econometric model to analyze the influence factors of coupling relation. The results show that:(1) through the analysis of2005-2012tourism agglomeration and regional economy’s degree of coupling and coupling coordination in Luoyang shows that between8years the degree of coupling and coupling coordination basically present a rising trend and, although the fluctuations exist but relatively stable;(2) through the analysis of2005-2012tourism agglomeration and regional economy’s comprehensive index ratio and degree of coupling coordination in Luoyang shows that between8years coupling development type develop year after year to a higher level;(3) through the analysis of coupling relation’s influence factors in Luoyang shows that economies of scale and tickets economy are the core and the key elements, government and tourism resources have a greater impact, and human resource and infrastructure are not particularly evident, basically ignoring the impact. Finally, based on the theoretical and empirical analysis, this paper puts forward countermeasures and suggestions contrary to tourism agglomeration and regional economy’s coupling development in Luoyang. |
