Research on spatial pattern and accessibility of traditional Chinese medicine tourism resources in Shenzhen, China
The study of spatial pattern and accessibility of tourism resources is an important prerequisite for the development of regional tourism resources, and the development of traditional Chinese medicine tourism resources is a new hotspot of tourism development. Taking Shenzhen as the study area, this paper used the nearest neighbor index method, kernel density analysis method, and accessibility measurement method to explore the spatial pattern and accessibility of traditional Chinese medicine tourism resources in Shenzhen. The results show that: (1) There are 110 TCM tourism resources in Shenzhen, which are mainly concentrated in the cultivation of the body, TCM diagnosis and treatment, TCM institutions, and TCM R&D, with great development potential. (2) In terms of spatial distribution, it generally presents the characteristics of “dense in the west and sparse in the east”, mainly distributed in the western part of Shenzhen; All kinds of tourism resources also present the form of multi-core centers and sub-centers. (3) In terms of accessibility, the average travel time of resource points is 1.446h, which is highly accessible. The most accessible areas are located in the center of Shenzhen, concentrated in the west of Longhua District, Futian District, Luohu District, and Longgang District, and the travel time shows a trend of increasing from the city center to the east and west. This study provides a reference for the development and optimization of the layout of traditional Chinese medicine tourism resources in Shenzhen.
