“…Specifically, research on ecotourism spatial differentiation mainly centers around the spatiotemporal behavior pattern differentiation of tourists [37], spatial characteristics of cooperation among tourist attractions [38], and studies on resident perception differences [39][40][41]. Research methods employed in ecotourism perception mainly include text analysis [42], social network analysis [2,32], importance-performance analysis (IPA) [40], structural equation modeling [30,41,43,44], etc. Overall, scholars have made significant progress in the study of ecotourism perception, but there are also some shortcomings.…”

Ecotourism is vital for coordinating regional ecological protection with socio-economic development. The Gansu section of the Yellow River Basin is a typical ecologically fragile area in China, and it holds a distinctive position in ecological protection and high-quality development. This study explores spatial differentiation in ecotourist perceptions and their distinct effects on ecotourist satisfaction, revisitation, and recommendation. It uses four cities (Gannan, Linxia, Lanzhou, and Baiyin) in the Gansu section of the Yellow River (mainstream) as examples, employing a questionnaire survey to collect ecotourists’ perception data and applying a random forest model and one-way ANOVA for analysis. It was found that: (1) rich ecotourism potential exists in the Gansu section of the Yellow River Basin as an ecologically fragile area; (2) there is spatial differentiation in ecotourist perceptions, and among the four regions, Baiyin stands out for its nature and atmosphere perception, and Lanzhou excels in accessibility and service perception; (3) spatial disparities exist in the influencing factors of ecotourist satisfaction, revisitation, and recommendation. Ecotourists in districts with unique natural resources, such as Gannan and Baiyin, prioritize nature perception, whereas districts with abundant natural resources and an established foundation for ecotourism development, such as Linxia and Lanzhou, emphasize service and atmosphere perception. This study constructs a new research framework to explore spatial variations in ecotourists’ perceptions, assisting ecotourism destinations to meet the needs of ecotourists from the supply side, and presents distinctive strategies and recommendations for the development of ecotourism in similar ecologically fragile areas.

“…Previous research has examined tourists' preferences, values, and behaviors at destinations, including luxury attractions [8][9][10]. There is a call for research on national parks and destination management for the promotion of tourism growth and the management of resources in an innovative and sustainable way [11]. Given the importance of tourism in the global economy, especially in regions facing resource depletion and economic transformation [12], the topic of this study is not only of academic value but also of great significance for practical policy-making and regional economic development.…”

The preferences of tourists regarding their experiences play a crucial role in the management of tourism destinations; understanding tourist satisfaction enables managers to offer facilities and services that are aligned with tourists’ expectations. This study aimed to identify the destination attributes at Mt. Yunqiu and utilize the traditional and revised IPA approaches and compare their results. It applied three different approaches of IPA to assess the perceived importance and performance of the attributes and factors. The three approaches comprised the traditional and modified IPA approaches. The research site was Mt. Yunqiu in Shanxi, which is one of the earliest sites from which humans originated and the center of the Yellow River civilization. A total of 350 questionnaires were utilized, and a total of 41 attributes of cultural and heritage sites were identified to determine the key attributes that attract tourists to the destination. The results present tourists’ perceptions of the destination and their satisfaction regarding various cultural and heritage attractions at Mt. Yunqiu. They thus provide empirical evidence and can be used to suggest various approaches to understand travelers’ perceptions of the importance and performance of different attributes at cultural and heritage sites in the context of Mt. Yunqiu.
