Spatial–Temporal Differentiation Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Tourism City Resilience in China

ABSTRACT Based on the panel data of 46 tourism cities in China from 2009 to 2023, the entropy value method is used to measure the level of tourism city resilience (TCR), and the coefficient of variation method is applied to analyze its temporal and spatial differentiation characteristics, and Geodetectors are used for the analysis of the factors affecting the TCR. The study shows that: First, TCR is gradually improving, but there are significant regional differences, with the overall trend being “eastern > central > western.” Second, the spatial and temporal differences in TCR show “eastern > central > western,” and the majority of cities are medium‐low levels of TCR. Third, there are differences in the dominant factors affecting the spatial differentiation of TCR in different periods, and the spatial differentiation of TCR is not driven by a single influencing factor, but is the result of the interaction of multiple factors.
