China Ice And Snow Travel Hotspot Areas Winter Travel Climate Appropriate Evaluation Research

Climate is closely related to tourism.Climate not only affects tourists’ choice of destination,but also becomes a key factor affecting the development of tourism industry.Climate is the basis of tourism development.When tourists choose tourist destinations,the degree of human feeling affected by climate will become an important determinant.Winter tourism is a kind of tourism activity based on winter climate tourism resources to guide tourists to experience the cultural connotation of ice and snow.In 2022,Beijing and Zhangjiakou successfully held the 24 th Winter Olympic Games,set off a boom of people participating in winter tourism,making winter tourism a popular choice for tourists,a demonstration industry to practice "ice and snow is gold and silver mountains",and a "new spring" for tourism development.In terms of winter tourism,domestic and foreign scholars mainly focus on economic value,industrial development,ecological protection,ski tourism,winter tourism products,winter tourism in specific regions,etc.In terms of the climate suitability of winter tourism,scholars at home and abroad use computer technology to evaluate the annual climate suitability through the mechanism model,subjective and objective evaluation and other ways.However,in the research on the climate suitability of winter tourism at home and abroad,most of them are evaluating a certain region by combining meteorological elements,and there is a lack of cross-sectional comparison of multiple snow and ice tourism hot spots.Therefore,this paper takes the three northeastern provinces,Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and Xinjiang region,which have good development of domestic ice and snow tourism industry and attract more attention,as the research area.Based on the daily observation data of China’s surface weather stations,this paper selects the TemperatureHumidity index(THI),Wind Chill index(WCI)and Comprehensive Comfort Index(CCI),and obtains the variation trend of each index through fitting analysis.Furthermore,Kriging interpolation method of Arc GIS 10.5 software was used to perform spatial interpolation on the data,and then the spatial distribution characteristics,interannual variation trend and spatial variation law of winter tourism climate suitability in China’s snow and ice tourism hot spots during 1981―2019 were obtained.The results show that:(1)In the changing characteristics of meteorological elements in the past 40 years,the temperature and wind speed in all hot spots maintain the same trend,with the temperature increasing trend and the wind speed decreasing trend.In the change of relative humidity,the relative humidity in the three provinces of Northeast China and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region showed a downward trend,while the relative humidity in Xinjiang showed an upward trend.(2)Among the spatial distribution characteristics of winter tourism climate suitability in snow and ice tourism hot spots,the three provinces in Northeast China showed the overall characteristics of "better in the south and worse in the north".The winter tourism climate suitability was relatively consistent within the province,but showed obvious differences among provinces;The climate suitability of winter tourism in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region presents a relatively obvious feature of "good in the south and bad in the north",with large suitable area and small unsuitable area on the whole.The climate suitability of winter tourism in Xinjiang presents the characteristics of "polarization" in the west,with the low value area concentrated in the northwest and the high value area concentrated in the southwest,and the transition area between the low value area and the high value area is very small.The climatic suitability of winter tourism in China’s snow and ice tourism hotspots shows obvious latitudinal zonality in spatial distribution.The change of local temperature and wind speed caused by topographic and geomorphic conditions will also affect the climate suitability of winter tourism.(3)In the interannual variation characteristics of climate suitability for winter tourism in snow and ice tourism hot spots,all hot spots maintain the same growth trend.In terms of change rate,the three provinces in Northeast China are the fastest,the BeijingTianjin-Hebei region is slightly slower than the three provinces in Northeast China,and Xinjiang region is obviously slower than other regions.(4)In the spatial variation characteristics of winter tourism climate suitability in snow and ice tourism hot spots,the three provinces in Northeast China and Xinjiang showed a trend of "northwest change fast,southeast change slow".In the Beijing-TianjinHebei region,the high value of climate suitability for winter tourism is concentrated in the Bohai Bay area.In the three provinces in Northeast China,most regions in the BeijingTianjin-Hebei region showed an increasing trend,but most regions in Xinjiang showed a slow decreasing trend.Based on the analysis results,this paper defines the characteristics of climate location,establishes the unique winter tourism climate advantage location of China’s snow and ice tourism hot spots,and puts forward suggestions and countermeasures,so as to point out the direction for tourists’ travel time and space selection,winter tourism industry development regulation,and government overall planning,in order to promote the healthy and orderly development of winter tourism in China’s snow and ice tourism hot spots.
