Abstract

Against the backdrop of rapid growth in the tertiary sector, red tourism centered on revolutionary narratives is flourishing, attracting increasing numbers of visitors. This study examines the spatial patterns and influencing factors of 408 red tourism sites in Henan Province using spatial analysis techniques and the geographic detector method. Analysis reveals uneven distribution of these sites, with concentrations primarily in the Yellow River basin and southeastern Henan. Spatial analysis of the study subjects reveals a pronounced clustering pattern among these sites. Simultaneously, geographic detector analysis identifies natural, economic, and social factors as significantly influencing the spatial distribution of these attractions. Based on these findings, the paper examines the relationship between the spatial layout of red tourism sites and regional tourism development and economic growth, proposing recommendations for rational planning and development of red tourism attractions.
