This study examines the potential benefits of cooperation among Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) countries in achieving common goals within the international tourism cooperation network. Despite its significance, limited research has been conducted on this topic in terms of economic and spatial insights. To address this gap, we utilized the gravity model, social network, and quadratic regression. The revealed findings suggest that while the intermediary function among BRI countries is declining, the tourism cooperation network is gradually strengthening. Furthermore, reducing the gap between the governance and consumption levels of BRI countries can improve the network. The study offers new insights into the BRI tourism cooperation network, which could be critical for the future growth of regional tourism.
本研究考察了“一带一路”倡议（BRI）国家在实现国际旅游合作网络共同目标方面合作的潜在好处。尽管具有重要意义，但在经济和空间视角方面，对此主题的研究有限。为了弥补这一差距，我们利用了引力模型、社会网络和二次回归。结果表明，虽然 BRI 国家之间的中介作用在下降，但旅游合作网络正在逐渐加强。此外，缩小 BRI 国家治理和消费水平之间的差距可以改善网络。本研究为 BRI 旅游合作网络提供了新的见解，这对于区域旅游的未来发展至关重要。
