Research Hotspots on Inbound Tourism from the Perspective of Globalization

Inbound Tourism Economy for Coastal Areas of China: Differences and Influencing Factors

“…By establishing a model of the quantitative beach tourism economy, Liu and Zhang constructed an index system to evaluate the development of tourism in China's coastal cities, revealed the spatiotemporal differences and evolutionary characteristics of tourism consumption potential in China's coastal areas, and proved that tourism plays an important role in the economic development of coastal cities (Liu and Zhang, 2018). Similar studies have also been conducted (Ji and Wang, 2022; Wei et al ., 2022). There are also some studies on the economic research of inbound tourism in China's coastal areas, which mainly analyze its spatial and temporal differences (Chen et al ., 2011; Chen and Huang, 2006; Li et al ., 2013).…”

“…Research on inbound tourism started in the mid-1960s when researchers began to study regional economic differences in inbound tourism, with studies showing that the development level of the inbound tourism economy is influenced by different factors, such as tourist facilities, accessibility, regional orientation, and advertising (Deasy and Griess, 1966;Richard, 1989). A literature review through CiteSpace reveals the evolution of inbound tourism research topics, research priorities, and future research trends, thereby helping scholars and practitioners understand the current problems and needs of the inbound tourism industry and develop future research agendas to promote the sustainable development of the industry Wei et al, 2022). Tosun et al contributed to the revitalization of the regional economy by studying various inbound tourism policies implemented by different countries to obtain foreign exchange, break the isolation of the country, and make it a peaceful and cultured country through international exchanges.…”
