Study on tourism industry agglomeration degree in southern Anhui based on county scale
Based on the location entropy and industrial agglomeration competitive state model,this paper studies the tourism industry agglomeration degree of 18 counties(cities and districts)in the core area of southern Anhui International Cultural Tourism Demonstration Zone in 2019 and 2023.The results show that there are some differences in tourism industry agglomeration degree and competitive advantage among counties(cities and districts)in the core area.Jixi County is an advantageous area of tourism industry,with significant competitive advantage.Counties(cities and districts)with potential tourism industry accounted for 55.56%of the total number of core areas.Jing County,Jingde County,Tongcheng City,Qianshan City,Taihu County,Yuexi County,Huizhou District,Shexian County,Xiuning County and Qimen County have continuously enhanced their competitive advantage in tourism industry.Dongzhi County belongs to the disadvantageous area of tourism industry;Counties(cities and districts)belonging to the strength areas account for 33.33%of the total number of the core areas.Guichi District,Shitai County,Qingyang County,Tunxi District,Huangshan District and Yi County have higher concentration degree and competitiveness of tourism industry than the average level of the core areas.Promoting the high-quality development of the strength area,guiding the rapid development of the potential area,and moderately connecting different regions can enhance the competitive strength of the core area.
