Abstract:
Using the global Moran′s I index, the local Moran′s I index and Moran scatter plot, the spatial agglomeration of 31 provincial inbound tourist consumption level and spatial spillover benefits between adjacent area of China are studied. Using the spatial econometric method, the effects of the star-level hotel, scenic spots, shopping,entertainment industry and postal service industry on inbound tourist consumption level are estimated. The results showed that the inbound tourist consumption level has positive spatial correlation, and it has spatial spillover effect between neighboring areas.Low accumulation areas of inbound tourist consumption level accounted for larger proportion which are widely distributed in the western region, high accumulation regions are primarily distributed in the eastern coastal region, presenting the unreasonable distribution of polarization. The results suggest that star-level hotels, shopping, entertainment industry had positive roles in improving the consumption level of inbound tourist. However, scenic spots and the postal service industry had problems to be solved,and needs development in the tourist consumption market.
