The construction of an evaluation index system for provincial-level summer resort tourism destinations
Based on the connotation and characteristics of summer resort tourism destinations,this study constructs an index system for provincial-level summer resort tourism destinations from four dimensions,i.e.summer climate endowment,adverse climatic conditions,ecological environment,tourism foundation and development potential.U-tilizing meteorological observation station data from southern regions of the Yellow River in China during the sum-mer months(June to August)from 1991 to 2020,this index system was used to evaluate potential advantageous areas for developing summer resort tourism destinations in 14 provinces(regions,cities).Excellent summer cli-mate endowment is the primary condition for summer resort destinations,incorporating elements such as tempera-ture,wind,humidity,precipitation,human comfort,and vacation climate index.Low impact of adverse climatic conditions is a guarantee for the development of summer resort tourism,reflected by high-impact weather condi-tions impacting summer resorts such as high temperatures,heavy precipitation,strong winds,and severe convec-tion.The ecological environment of summer resort destinations is represented by air quality,water quality,and veg-etation status,while the foundation capacity and development potential of summer resort destinations are indicated by the richness of tourism resources,accessibility of transportation,local honors,and future planning.The results show that the threshold indicators of summer climate endowment and adverse climatic conditions of the 14 prov-inces(regions,cities)have spatial differences due to climatic systems and topography.The proportion of potential summer resort tourism sites to the total number of sites is 10.5％,which mainly distributed in areas of relatively high elevation within the provinces(regions,cities).In Jiangsu and Shandong,provinces where the elevations are generally low,the potential summer tourist destination is mainly in the coastal region of northeastern Jiangsu and eastern part of the Shandong Peninsula.The findings of this study can provide a scientific reference for objective e-valuation and development strategies of summer resort tourism destinations at the provincial(regional,municipal)level.
