This study, leveraging search engine data, investigates the dynamics of China's domestic tourism markets in response to the August 2022 epidemic outbreak in Xinjiang. It focuses on understanding the reaction mechanisms of tourist-origin markets during destination crises in the post-pandemic phase. Notably, the research identifies a continuous rise in the potential tourism demand from tourist origin cities, despite the challenges posed by the epidemic. Further analysis uncovers a regional disparity in the growth of tourism demand, primarily influenced by the economic stratification of origin markets. Additionally, the study examines key tourism attractions such as Duku Road, highlighting its resilient competitive system, which consists of distinctive tourism experiences, economically robust tourist origins, diverse tourist markets, and spatial pattern stability driven by economic factors in source cities, illustrating an adaptive response to external challenges such as crises. The findings provide new insights into the dynamics of tourism demand, offering a foundation for developing strategies to bolster destination resilience and competitiveness in times of health crises.
本研究利用搜索引擎数据，调查了中国国内旅游市场对 2022 年 8 月新疆疫情爆发的动态反应。它侧重于了解疫情后大流行阶段目的地危机期间客源市场的反应机制。值得注意的是，尽管面临疫情挑战，但旅游客源城市的潜在旅游需求持续上升。进一步的分析揭示了旅游需求增长的区域差异，主要受客源市场的经济分层影响。此外，本研究还考察了如独库公路等关键旅游景点，强调了其具有弹性的竞争体系，该体系由独特的旅游体验、经济实力雄厚的客源地、多样化的旅游市场以及由客源城市经济因素驱动的空间格局稳定性组成，表明其对危机等外部挑战的适应性反应。这些发现为旅游需求的动态提供了新的见解，为制定策略以增强目的地在健康危机时期的弹性和竞争力提供了基础。
