In recent years, the regional tourism industry cluster pattern has been initially formed. The cluster development of tourism industry can not only achieve the goal of integrating tourism resources, but also promote the competitiveness of regional tourism industry, thus promote the local economic development, and solve many problems that have existed for a long time. At present, China's tourism industry is in a critical period of structural adjustment and upgrading of the tourism industry from a large-scale to a quality-oriented one. In the context of the establishment of a free trade area and the rise of the international tourism island as a national strategy, Hainan Province, as one of the main Tourism regions in China, where the contradiction between the competitiveness of tourism industry and the scale of an industry is becoming more and more prominent. The relative, small, and weak situation has not yet been fundamentally changed and the international popularity of Hainan China is also not high. So promoting the core competitiveness of Hainan's tourism industry has become a real issue that needs to be resolved urgently. Under such circumstances, the unique innovation advantages and competitive advantages of industrial clusters and industrial division of labor can become a powerful force to promote the regional integration and structural upgrading of tourism in Hainan China. RESULT AND DISCUSSION 1. Resource Endowment and Basic Conditions of Hainan China Tourism Core Competitiveness There are 75 scenic spots in Hainan China. Among these spots, 30 of them have been rated as state A, 2 spots are 5A, 7 spots are 4A, and 4 spots obtained the title of National Industrial and Agricultural Tourism Demonstration Point. Main spots include Qionghai Women Soldiers Memorial Park, Song's Ancestral Residence, Danzhou Dongpo Academy, Haikou Citation: Feng Li et al. Ijsrm.Human, 2018; Vol. 10 (1): 130-142. 131 www.ijsrm.humanjournals.com Wugong Temple, Chengmai Gold Temple, Dingan Nanli Lake, Long Jianfengling National Forest Park, Wanning Dongshan Mountain, and other spots that located in Sanya, such as Nanshan Cultural Tourism Area, Luo Bi Dong, Ya Zhou Gu Cheng, Tianya Haijiao, Yalong Bay and Wuzhizhou Island. Hainan China is rich in tourism resources. The sand shore accounts for 50% to 60% of the 1500km coastline and the width of the low-tide sand line can range from hundreds of meters to more than 1000 meters. There are different types of coastal attractions along the coast of the island and there is also a unique tropical coastal forest landscape on the eastern coastline, a unique coastal landscape of mangroves and tropical reefs named coral reefs. The above resources all have high appreciation value. 81 mountain peaks are located on Hainan Island, and all their altitude is above 1000 meters. Among them, the more famous ones are the Wuzhi Mountain, Parrot Ridge, Dongshan Mountain, Jianfeng Ridge, Mount Seven Fairies, Bawangling Ridge, Diaoluo Mountain and so on, where people can go on vacation and keep away from the hot weather. Volcanoes, hot springs, and caverns are precious treasures that nature has bestowed upon Hainan China. Qiongshan City's Shishan, Luojing Pan Crater, and Lehuling crater are perfectly preserved. There are also a lot of therapeutic hot springs with high temperature, good water quality, the large amount of water and low salinity in Hainan China, constituting a very beautiful landscape. As a large tropical island, due to the scarcity of tropical regions in China, Hainan tropical flora and fauna resources are extremely valuable tourist resources. Hainan China has been inhabited by ethnic minorities which represented by Li nationality for generations. They retained their simple character and unique folk customs added beautiful scenery to Hainan society. In China, Hainan Province is the only inhabited area of Li nationality. Some of their unique ethnic customs and cultures all have special tourism value. Meanwhile, there are many historic sites that of historic significance in Hainan China, such as the famous Dongpo Academy, Wugong Temples, Qiujun Tomb, Wenchang Pavilion, and many revolutionary base areas like Commemorative Statue of Women Soldiers, Memorial Hall of Baisha Uprising, Jinniuling Martyrs Cemetery, Song Qingling's former residence and so on.

Factors Influencing the Core Competitiveness of Hainan China Tourism Industry 2.1 Basic Factors The basic factor is the core and foundation of tourism competitiveness in Hainan China, which mainly includes tourism resource endowment and tourism product development, such as geographical overview and climate, culture and history, recreational activities, tourism services, market ties and so on. These are the basic factors influencing Hainan China tourism development and the motivation to stimulate tourists to produce tourism. 2.2 Supporting Factors The supporting factor is the auxiliary factor to Hainan China tourism development and the foundation of tourism competitiveness, including Hainan's infrastructure, accessibility, tourism enterprises, and market potential and so on. Tourism resource sharing is the main driving force to attract tourists to Hainan China. However, if these tourism resources do not have accessibility, or if the relevant enterprises or departments are unwilling to provide the necessary services to help to turn core tourism resources into tourism products on the market, or the conditions for promoting tourism development are limited or substandard, then no matter how rich the tourism resources in this region are, the competitiveness of the region is bound to be severely constrained. 2.3 Developmental Factors The developmental factor refers to the developing direction and mode of Hainan China tourism. It is the key to maintain Hainan Province's sustainable competitive advantage. It specifically includes the organization, marketing, tourism management, crisis management, resource monitoring and so on in Hainan China. 2.4 Regulatory Factors Regulatory factors are the determinants of competitiveness; they can slow down, mitigate, suppress, filter or amplify, enhance, improve, promote other factors. It mainly includes Citation: Feng Li et al. Ijsrm.Human, 2018; Vol. 10 (1): 130-142. 133 www.ijsrm.humanjournals.com destination location, safety, bearing capacity and brand and so on. Although these factors have a moderating impact on core competitiveness only through small and continuous accumulation, their influence is fundamental, dramatic and controlling, so that it can outweigh other types of determinants, and to turn strong or weak competitors into secondary or primary competitors. 3. The Impact of Industrial Cluster and Industrial Division on the Core Competitiveness of Hainan China Tourism Industry 3.1 Influences on Basic Factors Due to the fact that the natural climate, culture, and history contained in the basic factors of tourism resources in Hainan China have remained unchanged for a long time, the impact of tourism industry cluster on the endowment of tourism resources is limited, which mainly reflected in the impact of industrial clusters on the development of tourism products. First of all, industrial clusters can gather a

  • Initial Exploration of a Protection System for Historical and Cultural Towns and Villages in Hainan, China
    Structural Studies, Repairs and Maintenance of Heritage Architecture XV 297 INITIAL EXPLORATION OF A PROTECTION SYSTEM FOR HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL TOWNS AND VILLAGES IN HAINAN, CHINA WANG ZHENYU Department of Architecture and Urban Planning, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China ABSTRACT The long course of Chinese national history runs from a remote source. Since China has a vast territory, different regions formed a variety of regional cultures with different natural environments and era evolutions. Historical and cultural towns and villages not only exist as individual entities, but also as integrated urban and rural settlements and regional cultures. This paper presents the methodologies for the protection of historical towns and villages in the phase of systematic planning in Hainan Province. The research begin with looking at Hainan’s regional culture, adopting the research method of anthropology and regional heritage to retrace the culture of Hainan’s towns and villages, analysing the status quo, and on this basis, building a framework of Hainan historical towns and villages in promotion of its rational protection and development. Keywords: historical and cultural towns and villages, land use, Meso-scale space unit, non-motor- vehicle travel. 1 INTRODUCTION Hainan is a tropical island in southern China with beautiful scenery; its special natural environment has created an exotic culture. Today, most people see Hainan as an international scenic spot; however, less attention is paid to Hainan’s culture and traditions, which, to some extent, results in a lack of cultural construction. Historical and cultural villages and towns are important space carriers of Hainan culture; therefore, the construction of provincial-level historical and cultural towns and villages to protect the historical and cultural heritage of Hainan is essential.

This reflects a strategic decision. Coast guard vessels operating on the basis of routine administration and backed up by a powerful military can achieve many of China’s objectives without risking an armed clash, sullying China’s reputation, or provoking military intervention from outside powers.

    Maritime Territorial and Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) Disputes Involving China: Issues for Congress Ronald O'Rourke Specialist in Naval Affairs August 9, 2013 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R42784 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Maritime Territorial and Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) Disputes Involving China Summary This report presents policy and oversight issues for Congress arising from (1) maritime territorial disputes involving China in the South China Sea (SCS) and East China Sea (ECS) and (2) an additional dispute over whether China has a right under international law to regulate U.S. and other foreign military activities in its 200-nautical-mile maritime Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). China is a party to multiple maritime territorial disputes in the SCS and ECS, including, in particular, disputes over the Paracel Islands, Spratly Islands, and Scarborough Shoal in the SCS, and the Senkaku Islands in the ECS. Maritime territorial disputes involving China in the SCS and ECS date back many years, and have periodically led to incidents and periods of increased tension. The disputes have again intensified in the past few years, leading to numerous confrontations and incidents, and heightened tensions between China and other countries in the region, particularly Japan, the Philippines, and Vietnam. In addition to maritime territorial disputes in the SCS and ECS, China is involved in a dispute, particularly with the United States, over whether China has a right under international law to regulate the activities of foreign military forces operating within China’s EEZ. The dispute appears to be at the heart of multiple incidents between Chinese and U.S.

  • Tourism As a Territorial Strategy in the South China Sea
    CHAPTER 3 Tourism as a Territorial Strategy in the South China Sea Ian Rowen INTRODUCTION The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is deploying tourism as a tool in its territorialization program for the South China Sea, reconfiguring geopo- litical imaginaries and popular political discourse, and developing new lei- sure spaces, economies, and infrastructure. This approach is consistent with China’s deployment of outbound tourism to achieve political objec- tives in other regions, both within and far beyond its periphery. Outbound tourism from China has been used as an economic lever for extracting political concessions not only in nearby Taiwan, but as far away as Canada. At the same time that tourism is being used to consolidate Chinese state authority in Tibet (Shepherd 2006), it has also triggered widespread pop- ular protest in semi-autonomous Hong Kong. State-directed Chinese tourism is now increasingly precipitating international protest over the territorially contested South China Sea. I. Rowen (*) Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, Singapore © The Author(s) 2018 61 J. Spangler et al. (eds.), Enterprises, Localities, People, and Policy in the South China Sea, Critical Studies of the Asia-Pacific, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-62828-8_3 62 I. ROWEN The unsettled sovereignty of the South China Sea has provided a theater for several “creative territorialization” strategies, including tourism, administrative rezoning, and land reclamation. This chapter will focus on the former two and argue that the PRC is using tourism as a tactic in the South China Sea not only to assert military and admin- istrative control over the region, but also to promote patriotic senti- ment among its own citizens.
