Spatial Characteristics Analysis And Integrated Development Of Geological Tourism Resources In Western Part Of Hubei Province

Geological tourism plays an important role in tourism field.It consists of a variety of functions including sightseeing,recreation,popular science education,the rich experience of the magic of nature and so on.In the long about 4 billion years of earth's formation and evolution,under a variety of internal and external forces,many geological heritage are formed,developed and left behind.These geological heritages are not only important for us to know about the evolution of the earth and human beings,but also the basis of developing geological tourism resources.It is very important to develop geological tourism resources and protect geological heritages,which can be an important means to make geological tourism more vigorous.The western parts of Hubei Province in this paper,refer to three administrative areas,including Enshi Prefecture,Shiyan City,Shennongjia Forest.Rich in geological tourism resources,they have unique natural scenery and folk culture,mainly geological heritage,ancient human sites,Karst landform,stone forest,peak forest and other geological tourism resources.Therefore,these three areas are good places for tourists.The three areas are close to each other,with rapid development of tourism.Geological tourism resources in these three areas have the same tendency and heterogeneity.However,in recent years,the western part of Hubei Province has developed dissatisfy.as a whole,for resource advantages can not fully taken of.As for Hubei province,tourism resources in its western part account for more than 50% of its total,but the total number of its tourists and tourism revenue is not desirable.From a national point of view,there is a big gap between Western Hubei Province andits developed and surrounding areas in terms of its tourism development.With the implication of researches and theories concerned at home and abroad.Firstly,this paper introduces the natural geographical environment and the types,characteristics,benefits and conditions of geological tourism resources are analyzed in the western part of Hubei province.Secondly,combing the status quo of geological tourism resources in western part of Hubei Province,this paper analyzes the spatial characteristics of geological tourism resources,geological tourism market and geological tourism traffic distribution in the western part of Hubei province.It is found that the spatial distribution of geological tourism resources in western part of Hubei province belongs to the weak agglomeration distribution,stable development of tourism market,in traffic network structure,connectivity and accessibility are of medium level.Thirdly,according to the characteristics of regional geological tourism resources,the distribution,the difference of traffic conditions and the practice of administrative divisions,Under the guidance of the principle of integrated development of geological tourism,the paper puts forward some measures for the development of geological tourism routes,tourism market and tourism products,in tourism routes,according to the correlation of geological tourism resources and the proximity of geographical location,this paper puts forward the internal tourism spatial pattern of the nine tourist routes in the three tourism areas,and continuously improve the external tourism space line.In tourism market,we should strengthen with the city of Wuhan city tourism group cooperation,build brand,strengthen exchanges and cooperation with neighboring provinces and cities,divided the tourism market in western part of Hubei Province into three levels.In tourism products,it is to highlight the different characteristics of different regions,shaping the overall image of personality,by combining the characteristics of different landscape.On the basis of the original tourism products,it is suggest that continuous innovation be made to adapt to the ever-changing needs of the market and tourists,maintaining the attractiveness of Tourism.Finally,the paper puts it forward that the Integrateddevelopment of geological tourism in western part of Hubei should improve the regional tourism cooperation,cultivate the relevant tourism talents,set up the brand strategy,and adhere to the scientific development under the leadership of the government.
