Abstract:
Based on 73 high level scenic spots in Yunnan province, the spatial structure characteristics of tourist attractions in Yunnan province were analyzed from different perspectives by using the nearest neighbor coefficient method, geographical concentration index, location entropy and so on.The evolution characteristics, evolution patterns and driving factors of high level tourism scenic spots were analyzed by the density index and quantitative evolution of high level scenic spots. The results showed that the overall situation of the high level tourism scenic spots in Yunnan province showed a trend of uniform and partial agglomeration.Evolution characteristics of the number and distribution density of high level scenic spots showed a progressive increase trend.Distribution density presents a spatial imbalance by the low density of the “surface” to the medium and high density “sheet”, “point”, “radiation” evolution.The development pattern of high level tourism scenic spots experienced the “scattered point” mode,“point-axis” development model and “core periphery” model.The driving factors include the increasing perfection of transportation network, tourism resource endowment, dividend policy, agglomeration and diffusion effect.
