Unbalanced and inadequate development of rural tourism destinations and the types of areal systems in China
Rural vitalization strategy in China aims to address the principal conflict facing Chinese society in the new era,which has changed to a conflict between unbalanced and inadequate development on the one hand,and people's ever-growing desire for a better life on the other.Mastering the situation,pattern,and process of rural tourism destination development and understanding the regional differentiation mechanism and type characteristics can provide a decision basis and planning guidance for developing rural tourism and promoting rural vitalization.The paper first explores the four stages of rural tourism destinations in China.Then,Point of Interest(POI)data for agritainment and guesthouses,data from the demonstration site directory published by the Chinese government for leisure agriculture and rural tourism,beautiful leisure villages,and key rural tourism villages are collected using GIS spatial techniques to analyze the pattern characteristics of rural tourism destinations at different stages of development.Finally,the differentiation mechanism of rural tourism destination development in China,based on the perspective of the human Earth areal system,is used to divide and summarize the areal system types.The conclusions are as follows:(1)Development of rural tourism destinations in China is unbalanced and inadequate.Its spatial and temporal processes follow the evolution law from core-edge and point-axis plane structures for complex networking.All rural tourism destinations in China are still in the first stage,except Beijing,Tianjin,the Yangtze River Delta,and the Pearl River Delta.(2)China's rural tourism destination system can be divided into three categories and 15 basic types.Different types of rural tourism areas have different imbalances and insufficiency characteristics,and their regional driving factors are also different.The natural ecological environment is the foundation of the rural tourism areal system structure and socioeconomic culture is the driving force.Under the function of rural tourism,these destinations are geographically distributed along mountains,rivers,roads,cities,tourist sight and literary resorts,showing a growing trend of unbalanced and inadequate development.(3)The unbalanced and inadequate process of rural tourism destination development is accelerating.However,this also indicates that the essence of rural tourism destination development is urbanizing,but it may be inconsistent with the connotation of stability in agricultural production and the solid foundations for agriculture reflected in the rural vitalization strategy in China.
