Abstract: | Abstract:This research took 500 comprehensive tourism demonstration areas as the samples, and study the Spatial distribution and influence factors by means of the GIS spatial analysis and mathematical statistics. The results showed that comprehensive tourism demonstration areas presents an unevenly-aggregated distribution pattern. It is dense in the east and central regions and sparsely in the west. It has formed five high-density core regions including Jiangsu, Hainan, Henan, Hunan-Jiangxi, Hubei, Sichuan, and Sichuan. Judging from the spatial distribution of provinces, the provinces of Hunan, Sichuan, Henan, and Jiangsu have the largest number of distributions,and the scale of the provinces differs significantly,there are three “highlands” including Hainan, Jiangsu, and Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei.Then we explored the influence factors of comprehensive tourism demonstration areas, the distribution is mainly influenced by tourism resources, the level of tourism development,traffic conditions and policy factors. |
