What is the definition of "Astor" tourism?

First of all, tourism is the product of social and economic development to a certain historical stage.

The law of social development is this: the development of productive forces is endless, and so is people's pursuit and improvement of material and cultural life. When social productive forces are highly developed, people's living standards are constantly improving and leisure time is increasing, tourism can become a popular activity. In line with the development stage of productive forces, people's living standards develop along the law of poverty-adequate food-well-off-luxury. Only when we enter the stage of well-off and luxury consumption will tourism become a mass activity and a social phenomenon. In the final analysis, tourism is the result of the high development of social productive forces.

Secondly, tourism is an indispensable part of modern life.

When the needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation are met, people will have higher cultural needs, which are as follows: expanding living space; Pursue more knowledge; Appreciate more beautiful things. The main action to turn these wishes into reality is tourism, which meets the needs of the above three aspects.

People constantly expand their living space and understand the outside world; Get new knowledge and make yourself more perfect; Pursuing aesthetics and getting beautiful feelings-these three contents show that tourism is the content of modern people's life, a high-level material and cultural enjoyment, a symbol of improving the quality of life and a way of life of modern people. The culture and enjoyment of tourism are fully reflected in these three points, which are also different from general social life.

Thirdly, tourism is a diversified, multi-level and complex synthesis of economy, culture, society and politics in the form of economic activities.

Comprehensiveness is not only the external feature of tourism, but also the internal essence of tourism, and it is the most essential and universal feature discovered by modern scholars, far exceeding the concepts of ancient tourism, travel and sightseeing. Synthesis is caused by complexity and diversity. Tourism is a complex material system in social and economic life, which is composed of tourists, tourism resources and tourism, and is the first level of tourism phenomenon. Tourists are made up of people from different countries, nationalities, occupations, genders, ages, education levels and hobbies. In addition to the natural landscape, tourism resources can also cover all aspects of society; Tourism refers to hotels, restaurants, transportation, scenic spots, shops and other enterprises that meet the needs of food, housing, transportation, entertainment and shopping, and is the second level of tourism phenomenon. Each part can be divided into three or four levels. The fuzziness of this research edge has become the most difficult place in tourism research.

The complexity and diversity of tourism are not only reflected in the composition of elements, but also in the radiation and connection to society, which affects all aspects of society. First of all, government agencies, scientific research institutions and schools should have institutions and personnel specializing in management and research. The development of tourism enterprises will depend on the development of several industries. When tourists enter the tourist reception area, they will have relations with government agencies (tourism, customs, public security, health, culture, etc.). ), tourism enterprises and local residents, which will affect all aspects of society. It can be said that tourism is a complex complex formed by the interaction of tourists, tourism enterprises, host country (or region) government and local residents.

Based on the analysis of the above characteristics and essence of tourism, and referring to the discussion of some scholars, 1982 China tourism scholars, led by Deng Guanli, put forward the definition of tourism when discussing the compilation of the book "Introduction to Tourism":

"Tourism is a socio-economic phenomenon under certain socio-economic conditions, and it is the sum of all phenomena and relationships caused by the travel and temporary residence of non-residents whose main purpose is sightseeing."

This definition confirms Esther's statement that tourism is temporary, remote and comprehensive, but it supplements the sociality, economy and sightseeing purpose of tourism. This definition reflects the essence and external characteristics of tourism concisely and comprehensively, and has been endorsed by most scholars in China's academic circles.
