Spatial Distribution Characteristics and Influence Factors of Rural Tourism Destination in China——The Case of National Level Leisure Agriculture and Rural Tourism Demonstration Sites
This paper takes 483 national level leisure agriculture and rural tourism demonstration sites as the research samples to study the space configuration,balanced degree,distribution density for the quantitative characterization.Then the spatial interpolation tool and vector data buffer analysis method are used to explore the influence factors of rural tourism destination in China.The conclusions are as follows:(1) 483 national level leisure agriculture and rural tourism demonstration sites present an aggregate distribution in the geographical space,and belong to agglomeration.(2)The spatial distribution of the demonstration sites is similarly fragmented and its fractal structure is complex.The system is expanded with the geographic elements such as city,and traffic in the self-organization evolution process.(3)The spatial distribution density of the demonstration sites shows obvious differentiation.(4)The spatial distribution is affected by resources endowment,tourist market and traffic location,and presents "close to A-level Scenic Area","around the city","along the road" pattern.
