With the rise of creative economy and changes in tourist demands, the development of creative tourism has become a consumption hotspot as well as an effective way to promote transformation and upgrading of tourism. As creative tourism resources are the foundation for creative tourism development, their spatial effect is an important area for regional tourism research; and they play an important role in enhancing the competitiveness of regional tourism. With a case study in the central city of Suzhou, this paper analyzes the spatial effect of creative tourism resources using a number of quantitative models including the nearest neighbor index, disequilibrium analysis index, kernel density, and user thermometric modeling. The result shows that, (1) The integration of creative tourism resources increases the concentration of tourism resources both in the whole city and in subareas of the central city, however, the increment and the spatial distribution of resources vary by subareas; (2) With the integration of the creative resources, the distribution of tourism resources in the central city of Suzhou becomes more concentrated and less balanced; (3) The integration of creative tourism resources greatly enhances the spatial effects of the regional tourism resources. And it converts the central city from a "single core" (Gusu District only) pattern into a "dual core" (Gusu District and Suzhou Industrial Park) pattern.
