Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to explore the regional distribution of safety risk in China outbound tourism. 326 outbound tourism safety risk warning cases published by China National Tourism Administration from 2006 to 2013 were used as research data. A case data base was built and a cross-table analysis and an optimal scale analysis were carried out to examine the correlations between regional variables and safety risk events and risk factors in outbound tourism. The study found that there are strong correlations between risk factors, risk events and outbound areas, which means the main outbound areas of Chinese tourists have specific risk factors and risk events, and that differentiating regional types and taking precautions against the risks should become the basic measure to promote the development of China's outbound tourism.

Key words: safety risk in tourism, China outbound tourism, regional distribution, correlated feature, risk events
