Classification of Recreational Agglomeration Districts in Suburban Metropolis: Beijing Case

Abstract:

As acceleration of urbanization progress, suburban area becomes vital recreation destination for residents in metropolis. Tourism industrial elements concentrate in definite place where there are appropriate conditions for tourism development. This research aimed to identify different types of tourism agglomeration districts. There are two factors contributing to classification: Attraction location quotient and facility location quotient. Location quotient was calculated based on town panel data. Finally, agglomeration districts in suburban Beijing could be divided into three types. This paper is basic study for tourism cluster research, and can be adapted to recreation management for different develop modes.
