The Evolution in Network Structure of Tourism Economy in Guizhou Province and Its Influential Factors
Exploring the evolution pattern of tourism economic network structure and driving factors can provide decision-making refer-ence for promoting regional tourism integration.With the help of modified gravity model,geodetector and other spatial analysis tools,we reveal the evolution characteristics and influencing factors of the comprehensive index of tourism economic network structure.It is found that the tourism economy of Guizhou counties shows the development trend of frequent connection and close cooperation.Suiyang,Zijin,Xixiu,Baiyun,Guanshanhu,and Wudang counties and districts are the center of the network.With the gradual increase of the role of"third party"in the tourism economic network,the direct cooperation between counties in tourism is getting weaker and weaker.The comprehensive index of tourism economic network structure has gradually evolved from the spatial distribution pattern of single-core ag-glomeration centered on the counties around Guiyang to the'four-core-driven'pattern centered on the core counties of Guiyang,Ans-hun,Bijie,and Zunyi,which is the result of a combination of factors such as transportation conditions,fixed asset investment,labor force level,level of economic development of counties,and the quality and spatial interactions of tourism resources.This evolution is the re-sult of multiple factors such as transportation conditions,fixed asset investment,labor level,county economic development level and tourism resources quality,and the intensity of their spatial interactions.Transportation conditions,as the primary positive influencing factor in the evolution of the tourism economic network pattern,have gradually increased its influence over time.In the future,we should further improve the transportation infrastructure,optimize the business environment,rationally use fixed asset investment,pay attention to the cultivation of tourism labor force,and improve the quality of tourism resources,in order to promote the coordinated and sustain-able development of tourism economy in Guizhou counties.
