Abstract

Tourism economic development is characterized by total tourism revenue, and the Exploratory Spatial Temporal Data Analysis (ESTDA) method is employed to explore the spatio-temporal evolution pattern of tourism economic development across 60 prefecture-level cities in the Yellow River Basin. The spatial units of these prefecture-level cities exhibit significant spatial agglomeration characteristics in terms of tourism economic development. From an overall perspective, the relative length of Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA) time paths in the eastern region is higher than that in the western region, reflecting a more dynamic and vibrant spatial structure. In 33% of the cities, the bending level of LISA time paths is low, indicating minimal fluctuation in the local spatial structure in terms of spatial dependence direction. There is weak integration in terms of spatial pattern evolution, with insignificant synergistic development effects within the tourism economic region. The spatio-temporal transition index is 7.7%, suggesting inertia in the transition of tourism economic development levels. The local spatial correlation patterns exhibit strong stability, with tourism economic development in the region largely proceeding in isolation, receiving minimal spillover effects from neighboring areas.
