中文摘要：

以旅游业竞争力为切入点，结合中国旅游统计年鉴，构建了旅游业竞争力体系，对中国31个省市旅游竞争力进行比较分析．研究发现，1996—1999年，各省市旅游业综合竞争力呈多元化发展态势，产业规模竞争力变化剧烈，消费能力有空间转移，主体区旅游业外向程度低，产业发展能力发展程度较高，接待能力空间上由集中走向分散，科技优势省际分化明显；1999—2003年，旅游业综合竞争力空间格局基本形成，规模空间分布趋于集中，消费能力空间分布分散化现象明显，省际旅游业外向度空间格局基本形成，主体区域产业发展能力较低且块状集中现象明显，科技进步优势东西差距显著。接待能力空间格局有变动但不显著．

英文摘要：

The tourism competition is the important target which used for reflecting the local tourism development. Here by taking it as a breakthrough point and combining with the Chinese traveling statistics yearbook, 6 items and 44 targets tourism competition mechanical systems has been constructed, and then Chinese 31 provinces and cities trave- ling competition have been carried on the comparative analysis. The research discovered that, from 1996 to 1998, every province and city tourism comprehensive competition shows a multiplex development trend, the change of industrial scale competition is great, the expends ability shifts the space, the extroversion degree of the main body region tourism is low, the overall industrial development ability degree is high, the reception ability of spatial distribution moved to- wards the disperser from the centralism, the different of inter-provincial advance in technology superiority is obvious. From 1999 to 2003, the tourism space distributing presents diverse characteristic, such as comprehensive competition forming on the whole, the scale spatial distribution tending to the centralism, the decentralization phenomenon of ex- pending ability spatial distribution to be obvious, etc.
