Spatial Distribution of Spa Resort in China and Its Influencing Factors
Spa resort,as a health tourism product,has received widespread attention in recent years.Research on the spa resort will contribute to the sustainable development of the spa tourism industry.This study categorizes 1072 spa resorts in China,analyzes the spatial distribution of different types of spa resorts using the ArcGIS spatial analysis methods,and explores the influencing factors of the spatial pattern of spa resorts by the means of the Geodetector.The results indicate that:1)Based on the size of guest rooms and development orientation,spa resorts in China are divided into four types:large-and medium-sized spa resort,small-sized spa resort,leisure-type spa resort,and nature sightseeing-type spa resort.2)Spa resorts show the characteristics of agglomeration spatial distribution,form the spatial structure of two density core areas,two sub-density core areas,and multiple point-shaped agglomeration with wide area distribution.3)Different types of spa resorts exhibit different distribution structures,large-and medium-sized spa resorts form"E-shaped"spatial structure,small-sized spa resorts is the spatial structure of"multiple points and agglomeration",leisure-type spa resorts is the spatial structure of"four point and square",and nature sightseeing-type spa resorts is the spatial structure of"point to area,small aggregation and large coherence".4)The spatial distribution characteristics of various spa resorts in China are the result of the comprehensive effects of five major factors:transportation capacity,economic development level,tourism market conditions,natural environmental conditions,and historical and cultural background.The degree of influence of different factors varies.Based on the above,it summarizes the mechanism diagram of influencing factors and proposes relevant suggestions in optimizing the spatial layout of spa resorts and clarifying development directions.
