A Study On Spatial Mismatch Between Provincial Tourism Resources And Tourism Economy From 2004 To 2013 In China

In recent years,China's tourism market continues to boom,the era of mass tourism is on the rise.Under the background of China macro-environment environment stepping into the new normal,tourism supply side structural reform has been put on the agenda.Tourism resources is a kind of important supply elements of tourism industry,but under the restraint of traditional management thoughts,many areas lack of on sufficient tourism resources awareness,and exist problems like extensive development and heavy development,light maintenance and so on.Such problems led to tourism resources advantage transform into economic advantage and industry advantage inefficiently,and some areas which are rich of tourism resources and the grade high as well,but tourism economic is relative lag behind,appearing the phenomenon of resources curse.In this context,whether regional tourist resources match tourism economy becomes an important issue.This thesis take the provincial-level administrative units in China,excluding Hong Kong SAR?Macao SAR and the Taiwan region outside.On the basis of constructing two indexes like abundance of tourism resources and tourist income index,which respectively represent level of abundance of regional tourism resources and tourism economy development,the article constructs one index,namely tourism spatial mismatch,quantify the degree of provincial tourism spatial mismatch from 2004 to 2013 in China.In order to analysis the spatial mismatch,approach such as two-dimensional combination matrix,Space Center,standard deviation ellipse and size structure analyzing are taken.Then discussing causes which driven the evolution of tourism spatial mismatch.Studies show that phenomenon of tourism spatial mismatch in China's provinces are widespread.During the study period,provincial tourism spatial mismatch owns characteristics of inertial and less polarization,which means the evolution of tourism spatial mismatch between provincial toward a more balanced direction.Otherwise,tourism spatial mismatch Center moves towards southeast,and gentle process after intense process shows that the tourism spatial mismatch in the west larger than east,and imbalances of tourism spatial mismatch within the East and the West has somewhat been eased.In addition,spatial pattern of provincial tourism spatial mismatch is mainly North-South exhibit,supplemented by the Eastern-Western exhibit.Indexes of standard deviation ellipse indicator the gap of it is widening through the North to South,while gradually narrowed in the East-West direction.Meanwhile,tourism spatial mismatch overall satisfying Zipf law distribution,cover the whole country from local fractal fractal evolution of gradually,but the scale structure still with optimized space.At last,the thesis suggests the evolution of tourism spatial mismatch is influenced by “first nature” and “second nature” factors such as tourism resource,level of regional economic development,traffic and policy and regimes.
