ABSTRACT

Qinghai is the strategic base and important fulcrum of the Belt and Road Initiative while tourism is a strategic pillar industry in Qinghai Province. Due to its rich tourism resources and unique ecological environment, the integration of tourism in Qinghai into the Belt and Road has attracted great attention of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). With the spatial data of tourism elements POI and the statistical data of 44 counties in Qinghai to analyze the characteristics and influencing factors of the spatial agglomeration of tourism in Qinghai, the paper conducts research on spatial coupling and concludes with the following results: The spatial agglomeration of tourism in Qinghai presents the distribution pattern of “one circle and one belt”; economic density and population density play an important role in the formation of the spatial agglomeration pattern of tourism with some spatial spillovers; Belt and Road has a significant impact on the promotion of tourism agglomeration in Qinghai. The paper suggests that tourism in Qinghai should fully integrate into the Belt and Road, giving full play to the guiding role of Belt and Road in the allocation of social and economic resources, and optimizing the spatial layout.
