Abstract
Tourism development is one of the important channels to realize the economic transformation of closed coal mines. The suitability and modes of tourism development at mining sites of coal resource-based cities are determined by their tourism development potentials. How to measure the tourism development potentials of mine sites and identify their development types has become an urgent research topic in the field of tourism development. In this study, we established a model to measure the tourism development potentials of mine sites from three aspects: mine tourism resources, mine development conditions, and urban development environment; we also completed the empirical research on the tourism development potentials of mine sites in China’s coal resourcebased cities. The results show that mine sites in coal resource-based cities have distinctive tourism development potentials and the top ten cities with the most comprehensive potentials are: Xuzhou, Handan, Zaozhuang, Xingtai, Jiaozuo, Zhangjiakou, Datong, Huainan, Pingdingshan, and Fushun. The spatial pattern of development potentials presents the clustering feature as “two core regions and three centers.” Therefore, the coal resource-based cities should choose their development modes according to their different resource values, development potentials, and spatial patterns. Tourism development plans of mine sites shall be timely formulated and a new mechanism that is guided by government and cooperated by multiple parties should be established for the mine site tourism development, thus to develop the tourism functions of mine sites.
