Travel agencies have an impact on the spatial concatenation and integration of tourism products.Studying the distribution characteristics and influencing factors of tourism products in specific regions is of great sig-nificance to further development of tourism industry and enhance tourism economic benefits.This research built a geographical information system of travel agencies in Zhejiang Province which contains 2 277 points,studied the spatial distribution characteristics of travel agencies by using geospatial analysis methods such as nearest neighbor a-nalysis,buffer analysis,and kernel density analysis,then explored the influencing factors by using multiple stepwise linear regression equation.The result shows that the travel agency agglomeration of Zhejiang does exist,and it con-tains one high-density area,Hangzhou and two sub high-density areas,Ningbo and Wenzhou.The characteristics contain a single core,banded contiguous distribution,more along the coast and less inland.Travel agencies also show the principle of distance attenuation centered on county-level residential areas.The indexes of resident popu-lation density,total exports,GDP of tertiary industry and the density of scenic spot above 3A have significant im-pact on the spatial distribution of travel agencies.Total export is negatively correlated,all the rest being positive correlation.
