ABSTRACT: This paper takes the PRD (Pearl River Delta) urban
agglomeration as the research object and improves the gravity models to
estimate and analyze synergetic development potential of exhibition economy in
eight major PRD cities. Firstly, it makes a factual analysis of the overall
development trends and characteristics of exhibition economy in China, and
introduces the development status of exhibition economy in the PRD Economic
Circle. Secondly, it constructs indicator systems for the development
evaluation of exhibition economy and evaluates comprehensive development
capacity of exhibition economy in the eight PRD cities. Thirdly, gravity models
are improved to calculate the synergetic development potential of exhibition
economy in the eight PRD cities. Research Results: The PRD Economic Circle
consists of three parts, namely, Guang-Fo-Zhao Economic Circle,
Shenzhen-Dongguan-Huizhou Economic Circle and Zhuhai-Zhongshan-Jiangmen
Economic Circle. Wherein, Guang-Fo-Zhao Economic Circle is centered on
Guangzhou while Shenzhen-Dongguan-Huizhou Economic Circle and
Zhuhai-Zhongshan-Jiangmen Economic Circle are centered on Shenzhen. Research
Proposals: The local government should establish administrative
departments for the synergetic development of exhibition economy in the PRD
urban agglomeration, rationalize the allocation of exhibition economic
resources, optimize synergetic development structures of exhibition economy,
explore characteristic images of cities and integrate them into the PRD
Economic Circle; promote synergetic development of exhibition economy in the
PRD urban agglomeration, thereby enhancing domestic and international
competitiveness of the exhibition industry and driving robust growth of
regional economy. Innovations of the paper are described below: it studies
synergetic development of exhibition economy in the PRD urban agglomeration for
the first time, explores the integration of exhibition economy in urban
agglomerations of different levels, seeks solutions for the common development
of exhibition economy in urban agglomerations and makes strategic planning for
the development of exhibition economy in the PRD urban agglomeration.
Currently, there are few researches on the synergetic development of exhibition
economy in urban agglomerations of China.
