Structural Evolution of RCEP Countries'International Tourism Economy Network and the Role of China
Integrating into the international tourism economy network is an important path for the international development of China's tourism industry,and also an important measure to promote the construction of China's"double cycle"new develop-ment pattern.In this paper,15 members of RCEP were selected as the research objects.A evaluation system of international tourism economy development level was built from the scale,growth,structure and efficiency of international tourism economy,and the international tourism economy network was constructed with the help of a modified gravity model,and then the social network analysis method was used to analyze the structure evolution of RCEP countries'international tourism economy network and the role of China from 2000 to 2018.It is found as follows.① The overall network structure changes dramatically,showing a trend of increasing compactness,improving accessibility and decreasing hierarchy,and the network structure tends to be sta-ble.The development of individual nodes in the network varies significantly,with strong dependence on a few core nodes such as China,Singapore and Thailand.② The network can be divided into four cohesive subgroups,and the international tourism econ-omy links between nodes are mainly established within the subgroups,and the phenomenon of"small groups"is significant.The evolution of China's role in the network has gone through three stages:from a general tourism contributor to a"leader"and an important"intermediary"in the network,and now it has become the most influential country in the RCEP international tourism economy network.
