What is the regional pattern of tourism development in China?

There is a strong positive correlation between the development level of regional tourism and the developed degree of national economy. Whether it is domestic tourism or inbound tourism, the regional pattern of China's tourism industry presents an obvious gradient trend of east, middle and west. As far as the scale and benefits of tourism economy are concerned, the eastern coastal areas, especially Guangdong Province in the Pearl River Delta, Zhejiang Province and Jiangsu Province in the Yangtze River Delta, and Shandong Province around the Bohai Sea, are obviously higher than other provinces, and the total tourism revenue in the whole year exceeds 654.38 billion yuan, which is the region with the best tourism economic benefits in China. These provinces have developed economy, good location conditions, and perfect facilities such as tourist transportation and hotels, so they occupy a leading and core position in China's tourism industry and are the major tourist provinces in China. Beijing, Henan, Sichuan, Hunan and Hubei in central China are also cities and provinces with more domestic tourism income, and their benefits and scale are at a medium level and in a transitional position in the country. Most of the provinces with low tourism economic benefits are located in the western region of China. The economic development level of these provinces and regions is relatively backward, the tourism supporting conditions are poor, and the tourism industry is small. However, the western region is rich in tourism resources and has a large space for tourism development.
