ABSTRACT

This study explores the spatial heterogeneity of COVID-19 on tourism demand at different spatial scales. The results indicate that at the macroscale, cities with developed economies and mature tourism sectors are more affected while the differences in impact are further expanded at the mesoscale. At the microscale, cultural scenic destinations or well-known attractions are far more affected than natural and religious ones. Furthermore, the spatial distribution of the impact of COVID-19 on tourism demand is characterized by the “Heihe-Tengchong Line”, which is mainly affected by factors such as population density, economic level and foreign economic relations.

摘要

本研究探讨了COVID-19在不同空间尺度上对旅游需求的空间异质性。结果表明，在宏观上，经济发达和旅游业成熟的城市受到的影响更大，而在中尺度上影响的差异进一步扩大。在微观上，文化风景名胜或著名景点比自然和宗教景点受到的影响要大得多。此外，COVID-19对旅游需求的影响的空间分布以“黑河-腾冲线”为特征，主要受人口密度，经济水平和对外经济关系等因素影响。
