- Abstract
The globalization of tourism has accelerated the development of both inbound and outbound modes. Likewise, the frequency of cross-border crises has increased. Unlike other tourism crises, crossborder crises are highly targeted to the countries and regions involved, and they greatly affect tourism demand at destinations. In the Internet era, tourism demand fluctuates with the spread of crisis information. Owing to differences in tourists’ability to absorb such information and their risk tolerance, the response of tourism demand to the spread of crisis information also differs. Previous research has rarely analyzed the macro- response of tourism demand to the diffusion of crisis information from a geospatial perspective or investigated cross-border tourism crises. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the reaction of tourism demand to information diffusion related to such crises. The present study investigated a shipwreck that occurred off Phuket, Thailand. We examined the diffusion of crisis information and resultant tourism demand by means of network data. Using geospatial, response index, and geodetector analyses, we determined the response and influencing factors related to tourism demand with respect to the information diffusion of that cross- border crisis. The following findings were obtained. First, there was an obvious economic impact of the cross- border crisis on tourism demand. At the provincial scale, the biggest drop in tourism demand was mainly concentrated in East and North China (the latter centered on Beijing). At the city level, the greatest decline in tourism demand was in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Yangtze River Delta urban agglomerations. Second, the strong reduction in tourism demand owing to crisis information diffusion was mainly concentrated in Central-Western China; economically developed Southeast China showed a weak decline in tourism demand. Thus, overall, there was evident spatial heterogeneity. Third, with respect to the cross-border crisis, the intensity of the spatial response was mainly affected by population size, economic development level, and traffic development. Unlike with domestic crisis events, those factors all played a negative role. Internet development level and spatial distance did not affect the response intensity. This study makes the following contributions. First, previous research on the impact of crisis events on tourism demand has rarely examined cross- border crises. This paper addresses the research gap and provides theoretical guidance for safety governance with respect to cross-border tourism. Second, this study demonstrates that the response of tourism demand to information diffusion for cross-border crises is spatially heterogeneous, thereby deepening understanding about the impact of information diffusion on tourism demand. Third, this research distinguishes between tourists’risk perception of domestic crisis events and cross-border crises. The study highlights the particularity and internal logic regarding the spatial response of cross- border tourism demand to crisis information by demonstrating the negative effect of geographic factors on the response intensity of tourism demand. The limitations of the research methods and subject matter as well as future research directions are discussed.
