Abstract

This article from the perspective of regional economics and human geography, tries to explore the influence mechanism of tourism industry cluster innovation by using the latest research results of “proximity” in the west. Based on the analysis of relevant theories, This paper proposes relevant research hypotheses, which enriches the theories related to proximity and industrial cluster innovation and lays a theoretical foundation for exploring the essential factors affecting the innovation of tourism industry cluster.

Highlights

  • Since the end of 1990s, the "relationship turn" in economic geography has focused people's attention on the study of cluster innovation from the relationship between inside and outside organizations

  • Cluster innovation is influenced by many driving factors, and proximity is a new perspective

  • With the deepening of the research on multidimensional proximity in various fields, areas such as economic geography have developed the concept of proximity to explain the network of industrial areas and the formation of innovative clusters

Introduction

Since the end of 1990s, the "relationship turn" in economic geography has focused people's attention on the study of cluster innovation from the relationship between inside and outside organizations. With the deepening of the research on multidimensional proximity in various fields, areas such as economic geography have developed the concept of proximity to explain the network of industrial areas and the formation of innovative clusters. The literature on cluster innovation has traditionally focused on manufacturing industrial clusters, this trend has changed and the innovation of tourism clusters has become a fairly important field due to their unique characteristics. The role of proximity in promoting collaborative innovation among participants has been widely recognized in the tourism literature, Especially through the application of the concepts of industrial zone and cluster[1], but the research on tourism industry based on the proximity theory is almost blank. Based on the influence of proximity on the innovation of industrial clusters, Combined with the development characteristics of tourism industry clusters, This paper explores the influence of proximity on the innovation of tourism industry clusters and puts forward a hypothesis
