21世纪以来旅游地生命周期理论及其应用研究进展

doi:10.12054/lydk.bisu.283

摘要/Abstract

摘要：

旅游地生命周期理论对研究不同类型与不同发展阶段的旅游地高质量发展具有重要意义。本研究聚焦21世纪以来国内外旅游地生命周期理论的研究成果，借助CiteSpace软件，从CNKI和Web of Science数据库检索、搜集并筛选出699篇中英文文献进行可视化分析。分析结果表明：（1）中英文文献数量差异较大。与中文文献总体波动下降的趋势不同，国际上关于旅游地生命周期理论的研究持续趋热，并于2022年达到高峰，其中来自中国、西班牙和意大利的学者发文较多。（2）国内外研究热点存在较大差异。国内研究聚焦在概念辨析、影响因素、阶段判定、旅游开发与运营策略探究等方面，国外更侧重旅游地的再生与转型、以生态保护为核心的可持续发展以及旅游新业态等。（3）近年来国外在研究主体、研究方法与学科视角上更为多元化。最后，本文提出未来研究应更多关注数据来源多元化、社区参与行为、旅游地再生及转型和空间重构现象等方面。

Abstract:

Tourism area life cycle theory plays an important role in promoting high-quality development of tourist destinations of different types and in different stages of development. This study focused on the research results of the life cycle theory of tourism destinations at home and abroad. Using CiteSpace software, 699 relevant Chinese and English articles were retrieved, collected, and screened from CNKI and Web of Science databases for visual analysis, and the existing research results were systematically reviewed. The analysis revealed the following: (1) A large difference was observed in the number of papers published in Chinese and English. Unlike the general trend of a decrease in China, international research on the life cycle theory of tourist destinations has been peaking since the beginning of the 21st century, with an unprecedented high attained in 2022. Internationally, scholars from China, Spain, and Italy have published the maximum number of articles in English. (2) Huge differences were found in terms of research hotspots at home and abroad. Domestic research focuses on concept clarification, influencing factors, stage determination, tourism development, and operation strategy exploration, while international studies pay more attention to the regeneration and transformation of tourism destinations, sustainable development with ecological protection as the core, and new tourism business formats. (3) International studies are relatively diversified in terms of subjects, research methods, and disciplinary perspectives. Finally, combining classical views and the characteristics of current tourism research, future research directions of tourism destination life cycle theory are proposed.
