On the basis of reference and consideration,this paper gives a new definition of the tourism flow.It refers to the phenomenon of zero displacement generated by tourists in a tourism activi-ty.Some dimensions of tourist flow,such as flow liquid,potential,course ,dynamic mechanism and the motion model are discussed.The absolute potential changes into the relative potential through the dual role of promoting and hindering factors,velocity and direction of relative potential determines the tourist flow.Then,the temporal and spatial distribution patterns of the tourist flow and their evolution characteristics are also discussed.%在借鉴和思考的基础上,将旅游流界定为:旅游者在一次旅游活动中所产生的位移为零的空间移位现象。对当前旅游流的流质、流势、流向等观察维度进行了补充说明,并分析了旅游流的动力机制和运动模型。指出时间性、移动性以及空间性影响旅游流的绝对流势,绝对流势经过推动和阻碍因素的双重作用后变为相对流势,相对流势决定着旅游流的流速和流向。
