Abstract:
On the basis of the market monopoly and urban primacy index, the concept of domination was proposed, and the dominating nature of capital city was measured by using the monopoly index ICRand the primate index B. Taking Xi′an city as a case, its domination in Shaanxi tourism was analyzed from six aspects including resources, investment, traffic location, travel agencies, hotels and tourism performance. The results showed that monopoly index ICR and the primate index B are different with the different industries. Among them, monopoly index and the primate index of the tourism investment, rail and air transport, travel agencies and tourism revenue are higher than tourism resources, road transport and traffic. The monopoly index ICR are consistent with the primate index B, reflecting the correlation between the market monopoly and the first degree of rank-size.
