2000～2010年中国旅游研究国外期刊文献统计分析初步

本文以2000～2010年期间在11种国际权威旅游学术期刊上发表的有关中国旅游研究的196篇文献为样本,从年度载文量、文献作者国家和地区分布、作者单位、研究内容等方面进行了统计分析。从分析中可以看出,国际学术界对中国旅游的关注增多,有关中国旅游的研究数量不断增加,但由于语言障碍、研究规范的缺失,以及在研究范式与研究方法上与国际旅游研究存在较大差异等原因,国内很多的研究成果仍然无法充分展现给外界,学术交流虽然有很大的增进,但仍然存在较大的拓展空间。     

旅游发展与经济增长、第三产业增长动态关系——基于中国1978～2008数据的实证检验

在综述国内外文献并分析现有研究不足的基础上,文章通过构建Engel-Granger两步协整模型和格兰杰因果检验模型,以1978 ～2008年旅游发展、经济增长和第三产业增长时间序列数据为研究对象,检验中国旅游发展与经济增长和第三产业增长之间的长期均衡和因果作用关系.结果显示:(1)中国旅游发展与经济增长、第三产业增长之间存在长期稳定的协整关系,且分别有经济增长和第三产业增长到旅游发展的单向格兰杰因果作用关系,但与国际大多数研究结果不同的是,尚不存在旅游发展到经济增长或第三产业增长的单向格兰杰因果作用关系；(2)中国经济增长和第三产业增长对旅游发展的弹性系数分别为2.158和2.340,其中,第三产业对旅游发展的影响更大.研究结论为中国经济与旅游的协调发展提供了重要的政策启示.     

中国赴澳大利亚游客的情感特征研究——基于大数据的文本分析

中国出境游客的消费偏好和兴趣特征研究已成为当前旅游学界研究的重要内容.现有研究主要围绕满意度调查和细分市场展开,在研究时效和话题覆盖方面存在一定的局限.文章借助网络大数据研究分析方法,基于游客情感分析理论,以赴澳中国游客发布在国内旅游网站的评论为素材展开分析,比较其与国际游客的差异性,继而解析主要影响因素.研究发现:(1)中国游客在吸引物类型和旅游活动两大要素上与国际游客存在较大差异;(2)目的地要素和吸引物类型均有可能引发中国赴澳游客的正负面旅游情绪,地标性景观和多样化特色较能引发中国游客的正面评价,而中国游客对澳文化资源和冒险性旅游活动评价较低;(3)中国游客对澳大利亚旅游城市的情感喜好,与其旅游资源的丰富程度和城市基本职能存在一定关联.这些发现与当前旅游研究的相关理论较为吻合,但与现存针对中国赴澳游客的满意度调查不一致.研究的意义在于开拓了研究游客偏好和评价的新方法,有助于更好地指导国际旅游目的地改进针对中国游客的营销策略和方式,具有较好的应用价值.     

International franchising: Opportunities for China's state-owned hotels?

The hotel industry in China faces global competition. Most of the state-owned hotels have struggled during the period of transition from a planned economy to a market economy. Furthermore, international franchising hotel chains have entered China with their different operation modes. Could the franchising hotels bring opportunities for state-owned hotels? In an attempt to answer this question, the researchers carried out a study of state-owned independent hotels and state-owned franchised hotels to analyze their external and internal business factors, their intentions to join international franchise operations and the international hotel franchisors in China. The research technique used was qualitative. Two rounds of in-depth interviews were conducted. Content analysis was used in the data analysis. Results indicate that the majority of state-owned independent hotels have intentions to join an international franchise operation in the next 5 years. It also identified major factors affecting the franchising of state-owned hotels in China. However, franchising may not be attractive to those hotels that want to keep their management culture and characteristics. Implications of the study were discussed. Recommendations were provided to the state-owned hotels. Future research studies have been suggested to examine the relationships between franchisors and franchisees.

经济型酒店近年来一直保持迅猛发展势头,但对于经济型酒店的研究却仍处于对行业现象和业态特征等方面的探讨,缺少经济型酒店城市空间分布方面的深入研究和实证分析.本文从主客体关系视角,提出城市经济型酒店市场容量与经济型酒店发展动力、城市主体角色与经济型酒店选址决策两个层面的关系,建构经济型酒店的空间分布形成机制.针对扬州的实证分析采取了经济型酒店管理层深度访谈与住店客人调研二重途径探讨经济型酒店发展及空间布局的对策.     

Types of agglomeration effects and location choices of international hotels in an emerging market

When international chain hotels are seeking new locations in which to establish new properties, local knowledge of those locations is essential for success. By incorporating agglomeration and internationalization research, this study investigates how international hotels can acquire that local knowledge from the existing hotels. The study presents two different kinds of hotel agglomerations (same-country-of-origin and higher-differentiation agglomerations) as sources of local knowledge and shows how international hotels might select their locations based on types of agglomerations and their entry strategies. The study employs conditional logistic regression, using a sample of international hotels in China. Results indicate that international hotels, especially those with franchising, are more likely to choose a location where the hotels from the same country of origin are highly located. Because they share the same culture and business practices, new hotel entrants may more easily assimilate the local knowledge that compatriot hotels have accumulated.     

中国省域星级饭店业的优势特征及其形成机理

运用因子分析与综合评分分析相结合的方法,测算出我国各省区市饭店业综合实力的优势指数值.据此,可将我国省域星级饭店业划分为4种类型:发达型、较发达型、欠发达型、不发达型.从2000年到2004年优势指数值变化特征看,我国省域星级饭店业综合实力差异在缩小.从空间分布看,星级饭店业发展水平的分布规律是东部沿海地区大于中部地区大于西部地区.区域经济发展水平、旅游资源禀赋、区位、交通、区域产业政策与发展环境是影响星级饭店业发展水平的重要因素.最后,对我国星级饭店业的发展提出了一些建设性意见.     

北京奥运签约饭店的E-mail客户服务现状及国际差异

E—mail正成为饭店与客户之间沟通的重要工具，本研究针对北京112家奥运签约饭店，采用神秘顾客法进行E—mail调查，结果表明：（1）奥运签约饭店对E-mail客户服务重视程度尚不高，整体回复率较低；（2）能够对E—mail做出回复的奥运签约饭店在及时性方面基本达到国际水平；（3）英语水平是制约奥运签约饭店E-mail回复质量的关键。总体而言。奥运签约饭店的E—mail客户服务还处于发展的初始阶段。但因该项服务在世界范围内也刚刚开始，整体回复质量皆不高，因此，奥运签约饭店如能在该领域改善工作，将使它们快速获得具有竞争性的国际优势。     

The hotel sector in Tanzania: A comparison of operating performance

A survey of international hotel accounts for 1976 in Tanzania shows considerable revenue and cost differences between town and holiday hotels. These differences are confirmed by comparisons of equivalent occupancy levels which show that higher revenue and profit are associated with higher operating costs. Town hotels generate more employment and value added, than holiday hotels, and as much foreign exchange, but at a greater use per unit of materials and services. There are also significant differences between state sector and non-state sector hotels. Should hotel-investment policy concentrate more on optimizing returns from town-hotel investments, rather than seeking to maximize returns from more risky holiday-hotel investments? These results should be of interest to tourism planners in several African countries.     

Factors influencing the adoption of information technology in the hotel industry. An analysis in a developing country

This study investigates the factors influencing the adoption of information technology (IT) in the hotel industry, specifically in Morocco, a developing country. Our research model incorporates the following four constructs: organizational characteristics, individual characteristics, perceived benefits, and external factors. For this aim, a questionnaire was developed and sent to the general managers of hotels in Morocco to collect data and verify the research hypotheses. A sample size of 233 hotels and riads was used. The hypotheses were tested using a partial least squares approach. The results of the analysis reveal that external factors (i.e., competitive pressure, customer pressure, supplier pressure, and government support) have the strongest effects on the adoption of IT, the individual characteristics and the benefits that hotel managers perceive they will get from IT adoption are also important, while the organizational characteristics have no significant impact. The theoretical and managerial implications of these results are discussed.     

A stochastic cost efficiency analysis of international tourist hotels in Taiwan

The one-stage stochastic frontier approach (SFA) is used in this study to simultaneously estimate cost efficiency scores and factors of cost inefficiency for 66 international tourist hotels in Taiwan during 1997–2006. An SFA model with three outputs and three inputs is defined. The three outputs are room revenue, food and beverage revenue, and other operation revenue while the three inputs are price of labor, price of other operation, and price of food and beverage. This model also takes into account five environmental variables, including dummy variable of the hotels located in non-metropolitan area, dummy variable of chain hotels, the number of tourist guides, the minimum distance from each hotel to Taoyuan international airport and the minimum distance from each hotel to Kaohsiung international airport. Empirical results show that international tourist hotels in Taiwan are on average operating at 91.15% cost efficiency. All nominal variables are transformed into real variables in 1997 prices by GDP deflators. Chain systems, tourist guides, and international transportation can significantly improve the cost efficiency of international tourist hotels in Taiwan.     

Benchmarking the Asia Pacific tourism industry: A Bayesian combination of DEA and stochastic frontier

This study measures and compares the efficiency of leading tour operator and hotel companies across several Asia Pacific countries. We use an innovative methodology that is based on combining the stochastic frontier and data envelopment analysis in a Bayes framework. We show from the results that Australia, Singapore and South Korea are the most efficient in both their tour operator and hotel industries. We further show that international hotels in the region have a slightly higher efficiency than local hotels. We provide a listing of the most efficient tour operators and hotels in each country and discuss the implications of our findings.
