Abstract

The eastern part of China's inbound tourism has taken the lead in developing compared with the western part, resulting in the imbalance between the eastern and Western regions. Therefore, this paper analyses the evolution characteristics of the inbound tourism market in the western region, and is familiar with the distribution law of the inbound tourism market. It is of great significance to accurately locate the inbound tourist market and narrow the regional differences. In this paper, R/S analysis method is used to quantify the time-varying trend of the number of inbound overnight tourists in five northwest provinces. The results show that the changes of inbound overnight tourists in the five northwest provinces are unstable. The number of inbound overnight tourists in Shaanxi and Ningxia shows an increasing trend. The number and growth trend of inbound overnight tourists in Qinghai are lagging behind. The change trend of the number of overnight inbound tourism in Gansu Province is "weak" growth trend. The number of inbound overnight tourists in Xinjiang lacks strong growth momentum.
