Research on the Simulated Decision-Making of Spatio-Temporal Diversion Route Planning for Tourists in Heritage Sites during the Peak Tourism Seasons Based on a Case Study of Maiji Mountain
Abstract
With the enhancement of national cultural consciousness and protection awareness, the world heritage sites are more and more favored by the public, which brings a spurt of tourists during the tourism peak seasons, but also a great pressure and challenges to the management of heritage sites. To solve the problem of serious overload of tourists at heritage sites and unbalanced spatial and temporal distribution of tourists in scenic spots during the peak seasons, in this paper, based on the case study of Maiji Mountain, three cross-peak tour route plans were firstly selected, and simulated and tested in combination with the actual conditions during the tourism peak seasons; next, they were optimized under the evaluation criteria of tourists' satisfaction and variance of scenic spots' load rate, and the effects of each route and the overall spatial and temporal distribution were compared; and finally, the targeted management decisions were put forward. The study has practical reference value for heritage site management decision makers to realize proactive distribution management.
