研究了重庆旅游经济在县域间的时空差异,发现收入高度不均(基尼系数0.67),主城区渝中区占主导,多数县旅游增长快但经济不依赖旅游,需优化产业结构。
Tourism economy in Chongqing develops fast and continually with a high degree of imbalance among counties.Since the mid-1980s,the tourist income grows rapidly in terms of both foreign exchange and domestic earnings except for 1989,1998 and 2003.The inter-annual international tourists and foreign exchange earnings change evidently and the period from November to March in the following year is the off season.Tourism economy in Chongqing is characterized by the high primacy ratio and Yuzhong district in the metropolis is the primate administrative unit.And the Gini index of 0.67 indicates that tourist incomes are greatly uneven in Chongqing.In 2008,the whole tourist income in Chongqing accounts for 10.7% of the gross domestic product(GDP) but the contribution of tourist income to local GDP in each county is markedly different.The imbalance curve demonstrates that most of the counties in Chongqing have experienced fast tourism economy growth and droved local incomes;however,the economic growth does not depend on the tourism development.Currently,the tourism development in Chongqing is still in low level and it is not outstanding among industries.The fact that tourist income in Chongqing drove by the high level development in a small number of districts and counties indicate that there is a need to further optimizing the industries structure in the long term.
