Chinese Inbound Tourism Cooperation-Competition Network:A Modeling and Structure Characteristics Study
基于复杂网络理论构建加权有向的入境旅游合作竞争网络模型,利用中国入境游客数据实证发现该网络具有小世界、幂律分布和核心边缘结构,北京、上海、广东是核心成员。
In order to recognize the structure characteristics of Chinese inbound tourism cooperation- competition network, a weighted-directed inbound tourism cooperation-competition network model was built up based on complex network theory. An empirical study was conducted to test the model by using the data of Chinese inbound tourist arrivals.The results revealed that:1) the network had the characteristics of a small world; 2)the edge weight distribution emerged as a power law. Tourism routes among Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong were with the largest number of tourist flow,which are crucial to the network robustness and fragility; 3)the network had a typical core-periphery structure. Beijing,Shanghai and Guangdong were the core members of Chinese inbound tourism cooperation- competition network; 4)the project degree rank- size distribution emerged as a power law. The project degrees of Guangdong, Beijing, Shanghai,Jiangsu and Zhejiang were most influential in the network.
