| Tourism industry as a sunrise industry plays an important role in regional economic development,which drives and influences social economic development a lot.Yangtze River Delta region which has abundant tourism resources and good economic foundation,is one of the best regions in which places tourism develops well of the country.However,situations like unreasonable spatial distribution and imbalanced development still exist in the region.First,using weighted principal components TOPSIS and spatial econometric model,analyzes economic achievements of the tourism industry in 25 cities located in the Yangtze River Delta.Second,discusses the differences of economic achievements in tourism industry and researches the main reasons which cause the differences.Finally,based on the quantitative analysis,diagnoses the problems existing in the development of tourism industry and puts forward development proposals.The main conclusions of this study are:First,Based on extensive literature and experts' opinions,chose 11 indicators from the scale of operation,the efficiency of performance and the rate of growth.Use weighted principal components TOPSIS to evaluate the economic performance of tourism industry from 2004 to 2014 in 25 cities and draw the quartile map to analyze the differences.It is found that the economic performances of tourism industry in Yangtze River Delta are quite different,including:(1)Shanghai,the south of Jiangsu,the north-east of Zhejiang have high economic performance of the tourism industry,especially in the exhibition and cultural,which have to become China and even the world-class exhibition cultural Center,and continue to promote the development of leisure industry in surrounded areas;(2)There is not a good economic performance of tourism industry in the central and northern regions of Jiangsu province,which departs from their rich tourism resources and the main factors leading to the result are no clear orientation,similar development goals and the lack of continuity and foresight;(3)Significant progresses are made in Southwest of Zhejiang Province and economic performance is gradually catching up with the south of Jiangsu Province which are caused by the formation of an effective complementary relationship between this part and Southern Jiangsu Province in tourism resources.For the other reason,being located in unique landscape scenery and cultural resources,having explicit orientation and development goals,and putting emphasis on cultural tourism since Song and Ming dynasty under the radiation of Shanghai,southern Jiangsu,making full use of cultural features also have something to do with that.Second:Based on spatial econometric model,global and local spatial correlation,make a correlation test for economic performance of the tourism industry in the Yangtze River Delta.Spatial correlation and clustering are featured in the developments of tourism industry in 25 cities,including:(1)The spatial correlation in south of Jiangsu,Shanghai and the west of Zhejiang is continued to strengthen and there are healthy developments not only in the internal structure but also in the external extend;(2)Though,the north of Jiangsu Province presents a spatial clustering to some extent,due to the imperfect regional rapid transportation streamline system(part of the city's high-speed railway construction has not completed yet),and that makes less attractive to tourists those who are from Shanghai,the south of Jiangsu Province;(3)From the cultural space,the isomorphism of culture in northern Jiangsu Province and North China,the central part of China is strong,but the current developments in two parts attractiveness have not made big attractions.What leads to the developments of the regional tourism industry lagging behind is that there is no well-known travel brand in the region.Spatial factors,goals of economic performances based on spatial econometric analysis and the direction of tourism product market must be considered during the developments of regional tourism industry in future.Third,based on AIC and Log-Likelihood principles,the study analyzes the main factors affecting the economic performance of the tourism industry.It is deemed that the density of tourism resources,star-hotels and road network,Internet users per 100 people,the rate of treatment of domestic sewage and total export-import volume per capita have obvious positive effects on economic performances of local tourism industry.From the other side,local financial revenue per capita has negative effects on it.Tax reduction and people holding possessions can promote the development of tertiary industry which is represented by tourism industry to a certain degree and do well to the healthy developments of regional economy.Fourth,based on the analysis above,we put forward policy suggestions to promote the coordinated development of tourism industry in the Yangtze River Delta.It is thought that,based on existing international exhibition culture foundation,Shanghai and southern Jiangsu Province are supposed to build the financial,commercial and trade center for further and attract tourists from international tourism market with a more open posture;Despite of constructing the special fast-flowing channels to Shanghai and Southern Jiangsu Province,the west of Zhejiang Province should focuses on meeting the tourists' needs,like leisure,experiencing landscape and providing for aged.Meanwhile,it also need to put emphasis on making a tourism brand of landscape and idyll,a cultural brand of landscape in Yangtze river delta and grow its own abilities to make big progresses;The north of Jiangsu Province should be established in its unique geographical location conditions and reinforce the construction of regional rapid-flow streamlines.On the other hand,strengthen the union with North China and Central China.Based on increasing the income of local people,the north of Jiangsu Province try hard to construct tourism center of rural culture and agriculture to improve regional economic performances of tourism industry efficiently. |
