The difference between outdoor sports and tourism

It is generally believed that tourism means that tourists leave their daily living environment (escape from reality), go to other places to receive cross-cultural and exotic washing (aesthetics), enjoy their leisure time (entertainment), and gain spiritual growth (education) through this series of sensory stimulation and spiritual feelings. It can be seen that, in essence, tourism is the experience of different places, and it is the product of the interaction between the subject (tourists) and the object (tourist attractions, facilities and services). In this sense, there are differences between tourism and outdoor activities in at least the following aspects:

In terms of reasons, tourists travel to temporarily avoid reality, while the purpose of outdoor activities is not obvious, and more is to actively return to nature;

In terms of process, tourists accept aesthetics (nature and culture) and entertainment, while outdoor activities accept the pleasure of sports;

As a result, tourists get sensory stimulation and spiritual feelings, and get spiritual growth. Besides these, outdoor activities also pay attention to physical exercise and the improvement of sports skills.

in terms of attributes, tourism is a cultural activity, while outdoor activities are more to meet people's physiological (sports) needs, with very obvious natural attributes.

several principles that should be paid attention to in organizing outdoor sports above:

1. Safety (this issue is in the first place, that is to say, it is not negotiable to organize outdoor sports with emotion)

2. Teamwork

3. Adequate preparation: concept, knowledge, technology, equipment and physical fitness.

4. Perfect security system (first aid, rescue, etc.)
