桂林作为全国重点旅游城市,一直被视为广西旅游的领头羊和国内旅游的标杆。然而,由于受自身经济总量有限、经济规模偏小、腹地局限等不利因素的限制,桂林实质尚未成为广西经济发展的龙头,这对于后工业时代特征较为明显的旅游服务业显然支撑后劲不足。促进桂林与广西乃至周边其他地区经济发展的融合互动,提高桂林旅游整体竞争力,是突出发挥桂林龙头带动作用的要义所在。文章尝试通过动态的视角分析空间分布下的桂林旅游地龙头作用,探讨如何发挥扩散、辐射能力,实现区域旅游的整体发展,将具有积极的实践和指导作用。 As a national key tourist city, Guilin has always been regarded as the leader of tourism in Guangxi and the benchmark of domestic tourism. However, Guilin has not yet become the leading economic development in Guangxi due to the limited economic aggregate, limited scale of economy, limited hinterland and other unfavorable factors, which clearly lacks enough stamina for the tourism service industry with obvious characteristics in the post-industrial era. Guilin and Guangxi and other surrounding areas to promote the integration and interaction of economic development and improve the overall competitiveness of tourism in Guilin, Guilin, the key is to play a leading role in promoting the essence. The article attempts to analyze the leading role of Guilin’s tourist area under the spatial distribution through dynamic perspective and explore how to play the role of diffusion and radiation to realize the overall development of regional tourism. It will have a positive role in practice and guidance.
