Using Multi-destination ZTCM to Evaluate the Recreational Values of Cultural Sights：an Application to Jiayuguan,China

This study explained the importance of environmental protection in tourism development and illustrated the relationship between recreational resource valuation and environmental consideration. We compare different models of travel cost method and reiterates long-time existing problems of multi-destination and treats of time opportunity cost (TOC). Taking Jiayuguan's cultural sights as an example, we establish an updated method called multi-destination zonal tourism cost method to evaluate the recreational values (RVs) of selected three cultural sights. We divide trip packages of Jiayuguan's tourists into 11 portfolios. Each portfolio can be seen as a separate commodity, and each commodity has its own demand curve. According to demand curves we can calculate consumer surplus (CS) of different portfolios of tourist destinations and later we sum up the total travel costs (including travel expenditure and TOC) and CS to come to the RVs of each portfolio. We then apply suitable proportions to calculate the RVs between different destinations in the portfolio. In the end, we add up all the RVs calculated for the objective destination. Using this method, we draw conclusions that Jiayuguan's RV in 2006 includes national and international values, summing up to 738.4762 million yuan. The tourist expenditure, CS and TOC of Jiayuguan is proportionating 62.96, 32.28 and 4.76%, respectively. This study is also an example of non-market valuation of cultural tourism resources.     

基于空间场效应的陕西入境旅游流空间转移特征研究

选取不同时间断面的陕西与中国五大典型旅游区入境旅游流相互转移的有关数据和利用空间场效应理论对陕西入境旅游流空间场进行场能、位势及地域结构分析,研究其空间聚集效应、扩散效应和场效应交互作用影响下的旅游流时空转移规律及空间分布特征。结果表明,陕西入境旅游流空间场集聚效应强于扩散效应,且呈增强趋势;陕西与东部旅游区转移量大,与西部旅游区转移概率大,因此东部地区仍是陕西跨区域旅游合作的重点地域,而西部地区则是陕西加强旅游合作与建设的重要地区。     

游客对西安市“农家乐”旅游决策影响因素的因子分析——以西安市长安区“农家乐”为例

了解＂农家乐＂旅游者出游的影响因素对＂农家乐＂旅游的健康蓬勃发展具有重大影响。以西安市长安区＂农家乐＂为例实证研究发现,农家生活氛围、农家娱购条件、可进入性和农村特色是＂农家乐＂旅游者旅游决策的重要影响因素。通过创造宁静和谐的农家生活氛围、举行富有参与性的农家娱购活动、完善旅游基础配套设施和提供具有农村突出特色的农家美食来提高＂农家乐＂旅游的吸引力,研究结果对今后＂农家乐＂旅游市场发展具有科学指导意义。     

江苏省旅游气候舒适性分析及旅游区划

通过对江苏省气候特点和旅游资源分布特点的分析,选用温度、湿度和风速为主要评价指标,对江苏省1979~1998年气象数据进行系统分析,并利用聚类分析和GIS技术进行旅游舒适度区划,将江苏省划分为3个旅游区:初春初夏旅游区Ⅰ、夏季旅游区Ⅱ和春秋季旅游区Ⅲ,并参考区位、旅游资源等相关指标,将3大区域又分为6个二级旅游区。通过区划发现,苏北苏中适宜开展初春和夏初旅游,而沿海城市可以开展夏季海滨避暑旅游,在长江沿岸,苏南自然景观和人文景观旅游资源丰富,有利于在春秋季旅游。针对各类地区的气候特点和主要旅游资源,初步提出了开发旅游资源的建议,对于辅助江苏省相关部门制订旅游规划和指导游客确定旅游时间和路线等均具有一定实际意义。

低碳旅游概念辨识及其实现途径

随着节能减排、应对气候变化等概念的实践和推广,低碳旅游也越来越多的被提及和实践。低碳旅游由于其新,无国际经验可循,在概念、内涵以及实现途径等方面认识还不够深入,甚至形成了一些认识的误区,实践中可能因为认识的偏误,阻碍旅游业的发展,而忽略了"低碳发展"所特有的协同发展与控制温室气体排放的积极意义。本文认为,低碳发展是异于传统旅游业发展模式的一种转型发展方式,具有明确的保护气候环境的目的。同时,旅游业是主张消费和体验的行业,低碳旅游不应该以刻意减少或约束消费和体验为手段来实现,低碳旅游的实现途径是多样的,不仅仅有节能减排,还可以根据不同地区的资源条件,选择以成本最低的方式实现低碳发展。我国正处于经济和旅游业的快速发展期,实践低碳旅游发展必然会面临更多挑战,但尽早实现低碳旅游发展转型,不仅对发展低碳经济、保障气候安全做出贡献,也能为改善生态环境,保障能源安全,实现可持续发展做出贡献。     

Using Coral Disease Prevalence to Assess the Effects of Concentrating Tourism Activities on Offshore Reefs in a Tropical Marine Park

Abstract: Concentrating tourism activities can be an effective way to closely manage high‐use parks and minimize the extent of the effects of visitors on plants and animals, although considerable investment in permanent tourism facilities may be required. On coral reefs, a variety of human‐related disturbances have been associated with elevated levels of coral disease, but the effects of reef‐based tourist facilities (e.g., permanent offshore visitor platforms) on coral health have not been assessed. In partnership with reef managers and the tourism industry, we tested the effectiveness of concentrating tourism activities as a strategy for managing tourism on coral reefs. We compared prevalence of brown band disease, white syndromes, black band disease, skeletal eroding band, and growth anomalies among reefs with and without permanent tourism platforms within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Coral diseases were 15 times more prevalent at reefs with offshore tourism platforms than at nearby reefs without platforms. The maximum prevalence and maximum number of cases of each disease type were recorded at reefs with permanently moored tourism platforms. Diseases affected 10 coral genera from 7 families at reefs with platforms and 4 coral genera from 3 families at reefs without platforms. The greatest number of disease cases occurred within the spatially dominant acroporid corals, which exhibited 18‐fold greater disease prevalence at reefs with platforms than at reefs without platforms. Neither the percent cover of acroporids nor overall coral cover differed significantly between reefs with and without platforms, which suggests that neither factor was responsible for the elevated levels of disease. Identifying how tourism activities and platforms facilitate coral disease in marine parks will help ensure ongoing conservation of coral assemblages and tourism.

滨江湖泊湿地生态旅游开发潜力与发展规划——以西凉湖为例

湿地生态旅游对保护湿地资源和促进区域可持续发展具有极其重要的意义。通过构建湿地生态旅游评价指标体系,采用层次分析法确定指标权重,以西凉湖为例对滨江湖泊湿地生态旅游资源进行了评价。结果表明,西凉湖旅游开发目前尚处在起始阶段,综合得分较低,但由于生态环境状况良好,加之便利的交通条件,因此具有较大的开发潜力。根据所在区域近五年的旅游客源变化,对旅游客源市场进行了预测。结果表明,未来五年旅游客源市场将进入快速增长期,成为推动湿地生态旅游快速发展的潜在动力。在此基础上,进一步为西凉湖湿地生态旅游总体发展拟定了规划方案和对策建议。
