Tourists′ spatial behavior is one of the most important research fields of human geography. Studies have focused on the tourists′spatial behavior of scenic spots and urban destinations, but few about event tourists′ spatial behavior. This paper studies the domestic tourists′ spatial behavior characteristics of 2010 Shanghai World Expo, which belongs to the mega-event destination. Through the on-the-spot survey to obtain tourists′ behavior data, the paper expounds recreational activity space based on tourist origins, tourism destinations and spatial behavior patterns of domestic tourists of Shanghai World Expo, utilizing methods such as spatial use curve, attraction radius and isotourist line. Firstly, it is found that tourist origins are widely distributed in the space, the Yangtze River Delta is the major tourists source markets. Shanghai World Expo domestic tourists′ distance decay is obvious with a certain degree of volatility. Spatial distance of the peak tourists flow is at 300 km from Shanghai, with the increase of spatial distance, the proportion of tourists swiftly increases within 300 km from Shanghai, while the proportion of tourists gradually decreases outside 300 km, and its spatial use curve is complex, which is the compound Boltzman type and basic type. Population scale, economic level and spatial distance are the main factors impacting the spatial distribution of domestic tourists. The attraction radius of World Expo is 1 400 km. Secondly, in view of tourism destinations, Shanghai Expo tourists′behavior has a clear destination point to the World Expo. Shanghai World Expo is the main destination selected by tourists in Shanghai City, fewer tourists choose to go to other scenic spots. The secondary destinations of Shanghai World Expo tourists are located in the Yangtze River Delta, and are conscentrated on Suzhou and Hangzhou. Those tourists′recreational activity space is discontinuous, which is attenuated outward concentrically as Suzhou and Hangzhou for centers. Thirdly, Direct Route pattern and Partial Orbit pattern are the main spatial behavior patterns of World Expo tourists. Tourists′ spatial behavior is influenced by their individual characteristics.
