中文摘要：

文章通过系统梳理旅游流研究在数量、理论基础、研究方法和研究内容等方面的相关进展,对其研究现状进行了总结和评价,并在此基础上提出了旅游流研究趋势和未来展望。从结果来看,近年来旅游流研究数量总体呈现上升趋势,其中,国内学者研究成果的增长趋势明显;理论基础和研究方法方面主要以借鉴相关学科为主;研究内容主要集中在理论框架、时空模式、流量特征、流动效应以及机理机制等5个方面。总体来看,旅游流的研究是从地理学角度对旅游学研究框架的重构。从未来研究趋势来看,旅游流研究数量还将呈现快速增长的趋势;理论方法将向体系创新及模型构建的纵深方向发展,呈现出多学科理论方法的＂修正式＂融合态势;研究内容将向抽象理论研究、人地关系研究以及深层机理等方面延伸和发展。

英文摘要：

As an important part of tourism geography, the study of tourist flow has received a great amount of attention from scholars. However, there has been relatively little systematic research or discussion on tourist flow until now, which has caused certain fimitations for other researchers who want to study in this field. Because of the limited research, a systematic review of tourist flow literature is necessary. Based on the Elsevier Science Direct and China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database, this research summarized the quantity, theoretical foundation, research methods, scales, and content of tourist flow studies in recent years. Current studies are discussed, and trends in the future study of tourist flow are proposed. The results of this study imply that the number of studies on tourist flow show a rising trend of both domestic soeiety and overseas. Research on tourist flow is mainly published in Annals of Tourism Research anti Tourism Management abroad. In China, studies are mainly published in Tourism Tribune, Human Geography, Economic Geography, Acta Geographica Sinica, and Geographical Research. Regarding research methodology, quantitative methods were widely used in the existing studies, and a variety of methods such as model construetion, mechanism analysis, and discussion on laws have also been used. However, because previous research has shown similar tendencies between multiple scholars and studies, the expansion of a new method should be emphasized further. As to the theoretical foundation, previous studies were mainly based on geography, economics, management, social science, and physics. However, it should be recognized that a theory of tourist flow is still undeveloped. Current research is still mainly a transplant from other disciplines, so theory should be customized and strengthened. From the current studies we find that research on tourist flow has covered several aspects such as the composition of tourist flow, the space-time structure of tourist flow, the volume of tourist flow, the ra
