“…Specifically, in 2017, the TSI value as a destination is higher than that as an origin, while in 2022 the situation is the opposite and Qinhuangdao will become an origin. This study's findings also suggest that an HSR network has a positive impact on tourist destination choice [6,8,[55][56][57]. We found that an HSR network will increase the number of destination choices, because in our study we observed that most of the cities would have a greater number of destinations after the implementation of the HSR network.…”

The objective of this study is to analyze the tourism spatial interaction that defines two scenarios, i.e., the actual one with the current high-speed rail (HSR) network, and the future one with an extension of the HSR network, considering as a case study the Capital region of China. The impact of HSR on the spatial distribution characteristics is investigated. The main outcome of this study is that the extension of the HSR network in the future scenario will significantly increase the total tourism spatial interaction and will reduce the spatial difference. What this paper adds to the current knowledge about HSR and tourism is that smaller cities, such as Tangshan, Zhangjiakou, and Chengde, connected via HSR to core cities will benefit the most from the HSR network’s operation. Those cities should take the HSR network as a development opportunity to enhance their attractiveness and strengthen their marketing to achieve sustainable tourism competitiveness. The study found that effects can also be registered on larger cities, but they are smaller. So, larger cities, such as Beijing and Tianjin, should reassess their attractiveness to the tourist market and take corresponding countermeasures. The findings of this study can be used by tourism management authorities to develop short-term and long-term plans.

Highlights HSR had impacts on socio-economic, territorial and transport systems in several countries. The paper analyses the impacts induced by HSR services in Italy after ten years of operation. Italy represents the first case of competitive HSR market without public subsidies. Competition between HSR operators brought a significant decrease in ticket prices (-40%) HSR passengers/year passed from 15 to 45 millions (+200%) in 10 years. HSR contributed, in 10 years, to an increase of the rail-based transport accessibility up to + 30% HSR contributed to an extra growth of per capita GDP of + 2.6–5.6% in 10 years. Regional equity in terms of travel time accessibility decreased by 11% in 10 years. Extension of the HSR network would increase accessibility (+18%), economic growth (+3.6%) and equity (+49%)

“…This has been shown to be the case for urban destinations by Delaplace et al (2014) and Pagliara et al (2015) (for Paris and Rome, along with Madrid, respectively). Furthermore, Gutiérrez and Ortuño (2017) have demonstrated this for coastal destinations in Spain, as have Delaplace et al (2016) for the Disneyland Paris and Futuroscope theme parks. At the same time, HSR services also extend tourist markets (Wang et al, 2014).…”

High-speed rail, tourists’ destination choice and length of stay: A survival model analysis

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

We analysed the determinants of the length of stay for tourists arriving in a Mediterranean coastal destination by means of high-speed rail (HSR) service. This study is based on data obtained from a survey completed by HSR passengers returning from holiday in Costa Daurada (Catalonia). The empirical analysis is based on estimations made using a survival model. The influence of the availability of HSR service on tourists’ destination choices together with the tourists’ profiles, party structure or accommodation characteristics was used as explanatory variables. Results revealed that the existence of HSR services played a minor role in tourists’ decision of whether to visit the Costa Daurada. Also, evidence suggests that the existence of the HSR station would only affect the length of stay of those tourists who stay overnight in second residences.
