区域旅游经济差异的时空格局与区域响应差异是旅游业发展研究的核心内容之一。以1996~2010年西南五省区的国内旅游收入和旅游人次为数据基础,综合运用标准差、变异系数、首位度等指标,分析了西南地区国内旅游经济发展差异特征及其旅游发展的区域响应差异,揭示各省市区国内旅游业发展的不同的区域响应,研究发现:①西南地区国内旅游经济总体发展比较快,各地区国内旅游经济发展不平衡,省市区际国内旅游经济发展的绝对差距呈现逐年上升的趋势,且上升速度较快,由1996年的39.47亿元上升至2010年的638.94亿元,区际的旅游经济发展的变异系数波动不大,并在波动中缓慢下降。②西南五省市区同一阶段不同省市区具有不同的响应类型;同一省市区在不同发展阶段具有不同响应类型;旅游收入响应类型和旅游客流量响应类型也不相同。在此基础上,从旅游资源禀赋、区域经济社会发展水平、交通区位条件3个方面对差异的内在影响因子进行了阐释,提出未来西南地区国内旅游经济突破的关键是从旅游资源依赖型模式向产业依赖型模式转变。
Spatial and temporal pattern of disparity of the regional tourist economy and regional response is a core content of tourism research. This article analyzes the disparity 's feature and mechanism of tourism eco-nomic development in southwest China, by indicators of standard deviation, coefficient of variation and prima-cy ratio based on statistic data of domestic tourism income and tourist passengers. The result indicates that it has an overally fast but not balanced development rate of domestic tourism industry in southwest China. An ab-solute gap in the region is rising more and more faster. Coefficient of variation is in fluctuation and being a drop trend. The five region have different response types in the same development stage with various features for each region. Meanwhile the responses of tourism income and tourist passengers is not the same too. Tour-ism resoures, eco-social development level and transport location are three most important factors inducing the above results. Finally, the article puts forward that the key of domestic tourism economy is to transform the mode from tourism resources dependent to tourism industry mode.
