Public Transport Connectivity and Intercity Tourist Flows

Abstract: In this study, we investigate how dyadic air and rail transport connectivity affects domestic tourist flows among 343 Chinese cities. Using geo-tagged Sina Weibo data to track tourists during China’s National Day Golden Week in 2014, we estimate several gravity models with a negative binomial distribution. The estimation results suggest that air transport connectivity generally has a greater influence than rail transport on dyadic tourist flows, while connectivity provided by ordinary trains (compared to other… Show more

Moreover, from the human geography lens and economics, a series of studies focused on the movement patterns of Chinese tourists (e.g., C. Jin, Cheng, and Xu 2018;Yang, Li, and Li 2019) and the relationship between the economic growth and tourism development (e.g., H. Liu and Song 2018; Zuo and Huang 2018).…”

“…The interdependence between national tourism and transportation has important implications for the level of tourist demand for a destination, which is defined as related tourism (Divisekera, 2016). The success of the tourism industry is closely related to the transport connectivity between locations destinations of origin and destination (Yang, Li, and Li, 2019). The development of a viable and sustainable tourism industry requires wise strategic planning for investment in tourism locations and supporting transportation infrastructure (Bai et al, 2014).…”
