abstract: 'In China, there are significant inequalities in income distribution
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
between inland and coastal regions. Tourism is regarded as one means of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fostering regional economic development and ameliorating these
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequalities. Many inland destinations possess natural advantages that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
could form the basis for regional competitive advantage in the presence
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of necessary other conditions, but have experienced difficulty in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
drawing both domestic and international visitors away from the popular
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
coastal gateways. This paper considers the nature of competitive
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
advantage and the applicability of Porter''s (1990. The competitive
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
advantage of nations. London: Macmillan Press) theory in an emerging
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
market economy. The development of regional tourism clusters based on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Porter''s (1998. On competition. Boston: Harvard Business Review Press)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
model may be a way of fostering competitive advantage in regional China.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is especially relevant with recent policy events, including the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
emergence of the `West Development'' initiative. The potential for the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
development of regional tourism clusters is explored in this paper,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
which finds that while Porter''s model is theoretically applicable, there
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
is much work to be done at a micro-business level in fostering cluster
