Spatial Distribution and Accessibility of High Level Scenic Spots in Inner Mongolia

Based on the data of high-level scenic spots in Inner Mongolia, the methods of the nearest neighbor index, kernel density, accessibility, and spatial autocorrelation are used to systematically sort out the spatial distribution pattern, accessibility, and influencing factors of various types of scenic spots. The following conclusions are drawn from the analysis. The spatial distribution of different types of tourist attractions in Inner Mongolia is in a state of "small agglomeration and large dispersion". The spatial accessibility of different types of tourist attractions in Inner Mongolia is generally poor, and the temporal accessibility presents an inverted U-shaped distribution over time. The county-level accessibility of different types of scenic spots in Inner Mongolia is relatively poor, basically showing an oblique distribution pattern of low in the west and high in the east. The influencing factors of the spatial distribution pattern and accessibility of various scenic spots in Inner Mongolia mainly include the natural environment, transportation network, resource endowment, and economic level. This study proposes an optimal path for accessibility according to the aspects of the design of tourism scenic areas in a circle and the construction of tourist traffic and facilities, as well as the linkage design of tourist routes.
