Abstract

This project took tourism product network groupbuying as the research perspective and virtual tourist flow of tourism product network groupbuying from 26 tourism destinations as research data, and used spatial analysis methods to study the spatial difference and the dynamic forming mechanism of virtual tourism flow. The research results showed that: 1) On the whole, network groupbuying virtual flow reveal the characteristics of weak discrete distribution, however, locally show some aggregation characteristics. In general, virtual flow are strong in southern coastal and middle China where are rich in tourism resources, and weak in mid slant western, northeastern, and northern China. 2) Spatial distribution of group purchase virtual flow are the joint acted result of internal, external and environmental driving forces. Wherein, the external driving forces include three main factors, and their impacts from high to low can be ordered as: product price, product type, and network marketing spatial structure. 3) To study groupbuying virtual tourism flow is an innovation, and it achieves the goal to study tourism flow in space, which compensates the weakness in current situation. Furthermore, the direction of virtual tourism flow could reflect the real tourism flow in certain degree, even it could lead the happen of the real tourism flow. Meanwhile, researches of virtual tourism flow could offer predictions and warnings for human flow management and volume management in tourist areas.
