Abstract

For an international tourist, the destination choice is affected by many factors, including high degree of uncertainty. This paper classifies them into three kinds, tourism attractions abundance, traffic location, and trade connection. Meanwhile, based on investigation and research, three assumptions are proposed on the choice of international tourists, which is to select high-grade tourism attractions, to select nearby destinations, and to select rich economy. Taking arrivals from Japan as an example, with systematical data, including the distribution of Japanese tourists in the 31 provinces and these provinces' tourism attractions abundance, traffic location index and trade with Japan, etc., this paper analyzes the relationship between Japanese tourists' visiting rate and these three factors. The result is that the location index and the degree of trade links have a greater impact on the visiting rate of Japanese visitors, and that the integrated interpretation rate of three primary factors has exceeded 97%, which to some extent reveals the regional distribution of international tourists and the macroscopic rule of destination choice.
