This paper takes Shanghai and Shenzhen as the research objects. Through
a comparative study of the distribution and development of international hotel
groups, the paper can derive the characteristics and laws of their spatial and temporal
distribution, and explore the factors affecting the development of Shanghai and
Shenzhen international hotels. The main research conclusions are listed as follows:
① The spatial distribution characteristics of Shanghai and Shenzhen international
hotels are similar, and they are mainly upscale hotel brands. However, the overall trend
of temporal distribution changes is different. In particular, the number of new hotels
in the central area of Shanghai increased sharply and then decreased, but it has been
increasing slightly in Shenzhen; ② The number of Shenzhen International hotels is
relatively small, but the expansion is fast; ③ The transportation and exhibition factors
have a great impact on the spatial distribution of Shanghai and Shenzhen international
hotels. The main research suggestions are: firstly, the government should reasonably
control the number of hotels in downtown areas, and appropriately introduce
incentive policies to strengthen the construction of international hotels in the suburbs and peripheral areas; secondly, hotel groups can follow brand positioning, urban
planning and macroeconomics and political events to choose the most appropriate
time and place to enter, especially to establish urban traffic and exhibition monitoring
indicators.
