旅游流是旅游现象和旅游业的基础,也是旅游地理研究的核心问题之一。针对目前国内旅游流驱动力系统研究的薄弱环节,从旅游流空间分布简单描述转向多学科视角的机制探讨,采用文献分析法和系统归纳法,深入剖析旅游流驱动机制,构建旅游流的驱动机制概念模型。旅游流形成理论基础涉及心理学的推拉理论、经济学的需求理论、地理学的空间相互作用理论等。旅游流驱动力包括旅游者的外在驱动力、旅游需求的外在动力、旅游供给的外在动力、距离阻力、惯性力、空间结构力等。结合旅游流形成的理论基础和驱动力,构建了旅游流驱动机制概念模型。概念模型反映了形成旅游流的动力来自旅游活动系统内部和外部两个方面,由客源地旅游需求推动和旅游地吸引所构成,同时还受两地阻力、客源地与目的地空间结构影响。概念模型也体现了综合性、整体性,是动态发展变化的。
Tourist flow is the basis of the tourism phenomenon and tourism industry, out also one of the core issues in tourism geography. However, the driving force of tourist flows is still under-explored. How to achieve shift from a brief description of the spatial distribution of tourist flows to mechanism? On the basis of document analysis and system induction method, this paper analyzed the driving force of tourist flows, and built the driving mechanism conceptual model of tourist flows from the multi-disciplinary perspective. The theoretical basis on tourist flow included push-pull theory, demand theory, spatial interaction theory, competitiveness theory etc. Although these theories can explain tourist flows, there are relatively few systematic and comprehensive multi-disciplinary studies. As for the driving mechanism of the tourist flow, the authors found that the formation mechanism of the tourist flow has not yet been systematically studied. Scholars attach importance to spatial distance factor and ignore spatial structures of tourism origin and destination; attach importance to tourism demand factors and ignore tourism product supply. Based on the conclusion and reference of domestic and abroad relevant theory of tourist flow, pull, push, resistance, inertia and spatial structure forces are the main driving factors. Pull, push, inertia and spatial structure forces have positive correlation with tourist flows. Resistance force has negative correlation with tourist flows. Finally, the paper builds conceptual model of tourist flow-driven mechanism. A conceptual model can reflect the formation of tourist flow driven by tourism activities in both internal and external systems, consisting of tourism demand and tourism attraction. At the same time, the formation of tourist flow is affected by resistance and spatial structure. A conceptual model can also reflect a comprehensive, holistic, dynamic development and change. The conceptual model offers a new study viewpoint of tourism geography. It also provides a
