Abstract

Network attention rate is an intuitive measurement of demand of tourists on the Internet. Based on the methods of Baidu index, this paper uses some statistical analysis indicators, which are Coefficient of Variation and Gini Coefficient, to analyze spatiotemporal characteristics of network attention of tourism of the Belt and Road (B&R) countries, and establishes a regression equation to discuss the main influencing factors which cause differences of spatial characteristics among provinces in China. It turns out that, the network attention of tourism of all B&R countries of Chinese tourists shows vibration like "mountain" shape in a year, which is mainly affected by the length of holidays; the curves of the network attention of single country can be divided into three types: single-peak, double-peak and multi-peak, the network attention of single-peak countries vibrates a lot in a year while which of multi-peak countries vibrates a little. In the aspect of spatial characteristics, developed provinces and provinces with large population have relatively high network attention rate of tourism of all B&R countries, but the differences of network attention among provinces in China are relatively small; the crowd who pay attention to the traditional outbound tourism destinations is evenly distributed while the crowd who pay attention to the unpopular outbound tourism destinations is mainly distributed in developed provinces; population and disposable income of urban households are the key factors that caused the differences of network attention among provinces in China.
