Domestic Travel Propensity of China's Urban Residents Based on Analysis of Tourism Consumption

China's national income has been rising incessantly since the 21st century and there is a dramatic increase in real disposable income. In this context, the contribution of tourism to GDP is also increasing. Urban residents are important participants in domestic travel market, and an analysis of their domestic travel propensity is of high necessity. Based on the statistics from 2007 to 2012, we construct a statistical equation for calculating the proportion of tourism expenditure of urban residents in average per capita income. Using the travel propensity index, the domestic travel propensity of urban residents is divided into four categories. The findings of this study can provide a new method for analyzing and predicting domestic travel market.
