Temporal and Spatial Distribution Characteristics of Inbound Tourism Flow in Guangxi, China

Abstract

The D-Q model was used to analyze the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of inbound tourism flow in Guangxi by collecting index data from 2011 to 2019. The results showed that the temporal and spatial distribution of inbound tourism flow presented obvious single-core agglomeration characteristics. The polarization was serious, and the phenomenon of "poverty trap" became more and more obvious. The regional imbalance was prominent. The quantity and quality coordination of inbound tourism flow was poor. The spatial dislocation phenomenon appeared. The overall distribution pattern of inbound tourism flow might remain stable, and the number of cities maintaining a stable state presented a relatively large proportion. Finally, some countermeasures were put forward to promote the development of inbound tourism in Guangxi.
