Features and Routes of Agglomeration and Diffusion of Tourist Flows in Wuhan Metropolitan Area
以武汉都市圈为例，构建旅游流集聚与扩散指数模型，分析各城市旅游流的集聚与扩散特征，识别出武汉和黄冈为高集聚高扩散区，并指出未来旅游流空间结构的主要发展路径。
Taking Wuhan metropolitan area as a case,based on agglomeration and diffusion theory,tourist flows dynamic model,tourist flows intension model and tourist flows agglomeration and diffusion index model are built up from the perspective of spatial structure of tourism system. The research indicates that one-way tourist flows intension has greater gap and twoway tourist flows intensions are unequal in Wuhan metropolitan area; Wuhan is the greatest agglomeration area and diffusion area,and Huanggang is an important agglomeration area and diffusion area; Wuhan and Huanggang belong to high agglomeration and high diffusion,Ezhou and Xiaogan belong to low agglomeration and high diffusion,Huangshi,Xiantao,Qianjiang and Tianmen belong to low agglomeration and low diffusion,Xianning belongs to high agglomeration and low diffusion by analysis of two dimensions consisting of tourist flows agglomeration index and diffusion index; Wuhan to Xiaogan and Ezhou to Huanggang are the strongest development routes and major development routes of tourist flows spatial structure in the future in Wuhan metropolitan area.
