Agglomeration and Diffusion:The Migration of Chinese Inbound Tourism Industry Driven by Location Factors
From the perspective of the relationship between the location characteristics of the tourism demand market and the agglomeration of the tourism industry,this paper puts forward an analytical frame-work for explaining the reasons and mechanisms of inbound tourism industry agglomeration.Based on the analysis of social networks,This paper constructs an overall network model of inbound passenger flow from a macro perspective and reveals the overall situation of the spatial distribution of inbound passenger flow.And then,dividing the overall network into four local area networks from a meso perspective,and analyzes the regional preference for the spread of inbound passenger flow within the country.Finally,from the mi-cro perspective,a dynamic threshold model is constructed based on the provincial panel data to explain the internal mechanism of the demand location change driving the aggregation or diffusion of the inbound tourism industry.The research found that the network structure difference of inbound passenger flow is an important force driving the agglomeration or diffusion of China's inbound tourism industry.Regional differ-ences in the diffusion flow of inbound passenger lead to changes in the network structure of the inbound passenger flow,and the changes in the network structure reflect the variations in inbound tourism demand markets,which will lead to the agglomeration or diffusion of inbound tourism industry among regions.
