以往对于城市旅游的研究多是将城市作为客源地和旅游通道,作为旅游目的地的研究较少,多侧重城市旅游形象及旅游开发与规划等方面,涉足城市群旅游目的地的研究则更少。中国已经或正在形成一批具有雏形的城市群,因此城市群旅游空间结构的研究具有很强的现实意义。以中国发展较早且较为成熟的珠江三角洲城市群为研究对象,对珠三角区域形态以及区域空间连接度、通达度进行了度量,分析了城市群旅游发展的空间等级结构和旅游流的空间组织,构建了城市群旅游目的地空间模型,得出珠江三角洲区域旅游发展的空间格局。珠江三角洲区域旅游发展与香港、澳门密不可分,在今后的发展中应继续加强与香港和澳门的合作。泛珠三角概念的提出使得加强更大区域旅游合作显得更加必要。随着港澳深珠跨海大桥的修建,珠三角区域旅游空间格局将会得到进一步优化。

The city was by way of the origin of the tourist and the alleyway in the researches to urban tourism anciently,as the tourism destination,the researches are mostly about the tourist image and the planning.There is little research about the tourism cities cluster.There are some cities cluster rudiment in China.So the research to the spatial tourist structure of the tourist cities cluster is very significant.The Zhujiang River Delta is much mature urban cluster in China. The paper analyses the area's shape, tolerance, the spatial connection and the understanding,analyses the spatial tourist grading stucture and the spatial organization of the tourism flowing, constructs the spatial tourist mode of the urban cluster,concludes the spatial tourist pattern of the Zhujiang River Delta.The high level of the tourist industry of the Zhujiang River Delta is concerned with the HongKong and Macao. The Zhujiang River Delta should strengthen the cooperation with them in the future.It is very necessary to strengthen the cooperation in the wider spatial dimension when the concept of the Extensive Zhujiang River Delta is advanced.With the bridge connecting the Hong Kong, Macao, Shenzhen and Zhuhai,the spatial tourist pattern will be more optimized.
