Spatial-Temporal Response Patterns of Tourist Flow under Real-Time Tourist Flow Diversion Scheme

Abstract

This paper excavates tourist decision-making mechanism under the real-time tourist flow diversion scheme (RTFDS) and evaluates the tourist flow diversion effect of RTFDS. To meet the objectives, the stated preference survey and tourist flow survey of the Summer Palace were implemented. The tourist behavior adjustment model and tourist flow diversion simulation model were established. The results show that: (a) For core tourist spots, 66.5% and 16.5% of tourists will choose “behavior adjustment” and “no longer adjustment” under RTFDS, these behavior adjustments all shorten tourists’ residence time in tourist spots; (b) When the tourist congestion perception degree equals 4 or 5, tourists tend to adopt behavior adjustment or the individuals adopt no longer adjustment instead of cognitive adjustment when they face low tourist congestion perception degree, which equals 1 or 2; (c) When core tourist spots’ residence time is reduced by 10% and 20%, there are 60% and 73% time nodes where core tourist spots’ tourist flow density is less than or equal to the condition of null information, there are 73% and 60% time nodes where periphery tourist spots’ density is more than the condition of null information. The simulation results showed that some tourists could be guided from core tourist spots to periphery tourist spots through releasing RTFDS information. The research can provide theoretical support for the implementation of RTFDS, and alleviate the congestion inside the tourist attraction.

Can Road Toll Convince Car Travelers to Adjust Their Departure Times? Accounting for the Effect of Choice Behavior under Long and Short Holidays

“…Analysis of behavioral differences resulting from changes in factors, policy implementation, and increases or decreases in alternatives. In addition, the implementation effects of different measures and scenarios can be predicted in the early stage [10].…”

“…), tour characteristics (number of visitors, frequency of visits, etc. ), information obtained and environmental and psychological factors [10,23,33,34]. Shailes et al [35] showed that attitude, group size and visit frequency were the main factors that influenced holiday travel behavior.…”

Decision-Making Behavior Analysis and Empirical Study under Information Intervention in a Cold Environment

“…Hence, pedestrians at a higher demand level are bound to adopt the travel decision-making behavior in the face of environmental changes to maintain the higher travel experience level. When the environment changes, pedestrians change or adjust the original travel plan to adapt to the travel demand in the new environment; in this process, the decisionmaking behavior occurs [15][16][17]. The route decision-making behavior is one of the travel decision-making behaviors.…”

Research on the Differentiation of Tourist Flow Network of Different Tourist Attractions in the Region

“…Acampa, G. et al similarly used social network analysis to assess the importance of tourism flow management in enhancing tourism attractiveness, and based on this, proposed a new measurement index that can effectively reflect the level of tourist dissatisfaction [12]. Yang, G. et al in order to better propose a tourism diversion real-time scheme, the tourism behavior adjustment model was used to extract the behavioral patterns of tourists under different conditions, and a simulation model of tourism flow diversion based on dynamic adjustment was established [13]. In addition to real-time tourist diversion, the prediction of tourist flow is also an effective perspective to improve the tourist experience.…”
