A STUDY OF THE PROVINCIAL EMISSIVENESS IN CHINA BASED ON THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROPERTIES——WITH CONTRAST BETWEEN CHINA AND OTHER COUNTRIES
基于21个社会经济变量分析中国31个省份的出游力，发现社会经济规模、居民生活水平和交通连接性是主要影响因素，国内旅游以短途低消费为主，出游力集中在四大客源区。
Emissiveness can be classified to two categories: tourist emissivness and origin emissiveness. Tourist emissiveness emphasizes particularly on tourists which are the principal part of recreation from microcosmic dimension, while origin emissiveness is studied from macroscopical dimension. Tourism geographers have paid so much attention to tourist emissiveness with little regard to origin emissiveness. So this paper examines some of the geographical dimensions of the provincial emissiveness in china based on the socio-economic properties. The discussions and conclusions are as follows: ① 31 provinces in china are selected as study objects and 21 socio-economic variables are choosed describing the provincial properties. The hypothesis is validated of which is the origin’s socio-economic properties determines its emissiveness, tourism is a socio-economic phenomenon essentially. Socio-economic scale facor, residents’ living standard factor and connective level factor are the main socio-economic properties. Travel happens after the spatial interaction of origin emissiveness and destination attractiveness, whether or not is the destination attractiveness also be determined by the socio-economic properties? The theory of socio-economic phenomenon of tourism should be studied thoroughly; ②When origin emissiceness is decomposed to three dimensionalities which are socio-economic scale facor, residents’ living standard factor and connective level factor, the result shows that origin emissiveness in different dimensions have different mechanisms. ③The pattern of domestic tourism emissiveness in china is that travellers’ quantity is tremendous and travel expenditure is low, short excursions are the top choice. So the orientation of domestic tourist market and marketing for most destinations should focus on their own provinces,adjacent provinces and five other provinces with hign emissiveness of which are Beijing, Shanghai,Tianjin,Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Tourism geography should attach much more importance to day trip,weekend trip andleisure trip, because such recreational behavior in medium and small dimensions have more commercial meaning and can help the tourism geography develop. ④60 percent accumulated of emissiveness is agglomerate in 4 tourists generating region: Ji’lu’yu, Su’zhe’hu, E’xiang’yue and Sichuan of which Ji’lu’yu and Su’zhe’hu are the main tourist generating region. Since 1999. domestic tourism in china develops very quickly and tourism will be an important socio-economic activity, tourism industry will also confront new opportunities. So the 4 tourist generating region should increase the devotion into such areas of tourism productivity: star-rated hotels,travel agencies and so on.
