Abstract

With increasing concerns about overtourism and its associated impacts, there remains an imperative need to understand the spatial concentration of tourist activities within destinations. This study demonstrates that mobile phone data can be leveraged to accurately quantify the spatial concentration effect and potential heterogeneity among travelers with different social backgrounds. We introduce an analytical framework and demonstrate its efficacy through a case study of international travelers in three Korean cities (Seoul, Busan and Jeju). Results show that Asian travelers exhibit the highest spatial concentration, followed by European and North Americans, a finding that is consistent across all three cities and different times of the day. The Theil’s entropy index effectively portrays spatial similarity of activities among the three groups, revealing that the spatial preferences of European travelers are intermediate between those of Asians and North Americans. The findings underscore the importance of considering travelers’ social backgrounds in tourist flow management.
韩国城市中亚洲、欧洲和北美游客城市内旅游活动的空间集中度和群体间差异
随着人们对过度旅游及其相关影响的担忧与日俱增,了解旅游目的地内游客活动的空间集中度仍是当务之急。本研究表明,利用手机数据可以准确量化空间集中效应以及不同社会背景游客之间的潜在异质性。我们介绍了一个分析框架,并通过对韩国三个城市(首尔、釜山和济州)的国际旅行者进行案例研究证明了该框架的有效性。结果表明,亚洲游客的空间集中度最高,其次是欧洲和北美游客,这一结论在所有三个城市和一天中的不同时段都是一致的。Theil's entropy 指数有效地描述了三个群体活动的空间相似性,揭示出欧洲游客的空间偏好介于亚洲人和北美人之间。这些发现强调了在游客流量管理中考虑游客社会背景的重要性。
