Abstract Since the reform and openning-up in China, Tourism has accomplished the transfermation from the reception duties to enterprise system, then to the industrialization at present. In 2004,the total number of domestic tourists was 1.102 billion, and the domestic tourism revenue was 471.071 billion yuan (RMB), which,compared with previous year, got an increase by 26-67% and 36.85%. However, due to the different size and approach of the tourism development in differnets regional, the tourism development of regions are unsynchronous. There are a lot of related researches on the difference of regional tourism in China, but few about big-scale regional tourism system among them. Traditionally, the arrivals of foreign visitors have always been used as an indicator to analyze the status change of 28 key tourism cities since the reforming and opening policy. But the author in this paper thinks that the arrivals of foreign visitors in each city or region can only reflect one profile of tourism development. It is tourism receipts which is the purpose of region tourism development. So, it has great practical and theoretical value to analyze the regional difference of tourism development and the relationship between different indicators, furthermore, to summarize the inherent rules.
The regional tourism development has "synchronous-asynchronous" phenomenon with different degree. Based on the data of tour-resource abundance, the author analyzed the quantity of domestic tourist and income of 31 provinces comparatively. The combinational relations and "Synchronous-Asynchronous" phenomenon among different indexes and different geography cells,which are divided into different types according to the combinational relation are discovered. The conclusions are: the relations of indexes that weigh the regional development are complex; multi-type characteristics emerged; the great regional gaps existed. The characteristics of each types are analyzed, the transfer paths and achieving approaches are pointed out in order to provide the tourism development with practical reference and theory foundation.
