Abstract:
Based on the research sites of 88 world heritage dependent sites in China, an evaluation system for the coordinated development of inbound tourism flows and World Heritage sites was constructed,and the spatial-temporal characteristics and influencing factors of the two systems from 2000 to 2017 were analyzed by using the coupling coordination model and generalized moment estimation methods.The results show that it has formed a complex system of “inbound tourism flow-world heritage dependent site” in China.The comprehensive development level of the two systems shows a trend of increasing fluctuation, with intermittent fluctuation law.The coupling coordination level of the two systems is generally low and the amplitude is small, presenting a spatial pattern of “large dispersion and small agglomeration”. Coordinated development of the two systems is the result of multi-dimensional factors. Among which, foreign exchange income of inbound tourism is the core power, tourism workers is the dual driving force, sales of social consumer goods is the guiding function, green coverage is not necessary, total storage of public library books is the potential factor, and total passenger volume is the non-sensitive factor.
