Study on the spatial distribution characteristics and driving forces of nighttime tourism based on multi-source data——A case study of Kunming City
Nighttime tourism had satisfied the diverse needs of tourists and made significant contributions to the development of lo-cal economies and related industries.Taking the nighttime tourism in Kunming City as an example,this paper constructed a spatial dis-tribution model of nighttime tourism to reveal the characteristics and driving forces of the spatial distribution of nighttime tourism in Kunming City.The results showed that:①The coupling relationship between Kunming's nighttime tourism resources,tourist vitality,and economy had presented dispersed and diversified characteristics.The influence of the nighttime economy had exceeded the scope of tra-ditional tourism activities,with tourists preferring to engage in areas with less crowd flow.②The development of nighttime tourism had mainly relied on a wide variety of nighttime sightseeing resources and a developed nighttime economy.③ The spatial distribution of nighttime tourism in Kunming had mainly presented a"centered on high-density large aggregation areas,extending to the surround-ings"spatial distribution feature and a"northeast-southwest"distribution trend.④ The richness,quality,popularity,and reputation of tourism resources,as well as the density of residential points and the level of epidemic prevention,had been key factors.There had been a strong correlation and interaction between these factors.The quality and reputation of tourism resources and the level of epidemic pre-vention had the most significant impact on nighttime tourism.It was necessary to fully consider these factors to promote the sustainable development of night tourism in the post pandemic era.
