“…The results show that the rapid development of China's tourism can promote FDI into the domestic tourism sectors, but these studies are restricted to qualitative analysis, not exploring the causal relationship [7] [8]. Thirdly, in the view of the spillover effects of international tourism on FDI, Akinori Tomohara, based on the relevant data of Japan, expounded this problem [9].…”

Based on the annual data of China from 2000 to 2014, this paper applies the dynamic panel model to study the relationship between inbound tourism and foreign direct investment (FDI). Compared with previous literatures, our analysis is not limited to the study of FDI in single tourism sectors such as hotels and restaurants, but takes general FDI into consideration. The empirical results show that the growth of inbound tourism can not only promote FDI flow into the tourism industries, but also increase the inflows of FDI to other sectors. In other words, the flourished inbound tourism may have spillover impacts of FDI on non-tourism sectors. It's also indicated that the two policies of inbound tourism improvement and inward FDI promotion are complementary. Therefore, I believe coordination can maximize the effect of policies, because the two policies may coordinate with each other to achieve economic growth targets.

“…Nevertheless the dynamics and complexity of developing tourism in China could not be ignored due to circumstances such as regional discrepancies or imbalance in the maturity of markets and the readiness of the industry, the benefits of tourism for host communities, the control of excessive investment in tourism, and the dilemma between exploitation and protection of resources and heritage for tourism development (Jackson, 2006). In addition, interdepartmental collaborations in the public domain invite further inputs or contributions from the public administration discipline, which is currently under-researched in China tourism (Su & Xiao, 2009).…”

This article addresses the dynamics of the evolution of a nature-based destination in China. Based on longitudinal studies in Zhangjiajie in Hunan Province, it focuses on the roles of institutions in tourism development in China, demonstrating the centrality of institutions and governments in fostering destination development through policy orientations, attracting investments, and regulations in their capacity as producers, protectors, and promoters of desired processes of change. It describes a five-stage development process from Exploration, through Starting, and then via Fluctuation and Acceleration to the current stage of Transition leading towards a destination seeking better service quality. The study, by incorporating institutions as a driving force, develops a RICI model (Resource, Institution, Capital and Innovation) to account for destination development in China. The paper especially notes the role of inter-institution rivalries, and the impact of those rivalries on sustainable development. It is suggested that the proposed model could be empirically verified and tested in other cultural or regional destination development contexts.

“…Le concept de cluster fait l'objet de nombreuses recherches dans le domaine du tourisme et inspire des expériences de développement touristique dans le monde entier, depuis le Pays basque jusqu'à la Chine (Fabry, 2008 ;Kim et Wicks, 2010 ;Jackson et Murphy, 2006 ;Jackson, 2006). Que ce soit pour vendre une destination, accroître sa visibilité, dévelop-per sa capacité d'innovation, la nécessité d'une articulation des acteurs en des réseaux permettant la coopération appellerait une organisation territoriale de type cluster (Nordin, 2003 ;da Cunha et da Cunha, 2005 ;Alvarez Gonzalez et Gonzalez Morales, 2006).…”

Dans les approches scientifiques, le concept de cluster (grappe) met en évidence, d’une part, le rôle des proximités organisationnelles, construites à partir des proximités spatiales dans la dynamique de compétitivité des destinations touristiques. D’autre part, des clusters tourisme se développent partout dans le monde. Or, le concept de cluster, tel que proposé par Porter (1998), émane de l’économie industrielle.L’enjeu de cet article consiste donc à montrer que le simple transfert d’un outil scientifique élaboré dans le contexte industriel au management des destinations touristiques pose problème. Il doit être enrichi pour comprendre les dynamiques de développement touristique local et acquérir plus d’efficacité opérationnelle. Trois axes de réflexion théorique, mais inspirés par des études de cas rencontrées dans différents travaux de recherche, sont proposés pour interroger les analyses des clusters tourisme. Il convient en effet de prendre en compte trois dimensions spécifiques qui seront abordées à partir du processus de coproduction inhérent à l’activité touristique, des dynamiques de proximités singulières dans ce champ du tourisme et des caractéristiques de l’encastrement des activités touristiques dans le territoire. Enfin, les auteurs proposent un modèle de cluster plus adapté aux destinations touristiques
