What is urban tourism planning?

What is urban tourism planning? According to the analysis of Beijing Heshanyi Planning and Design Institute, urban tourism planning can be understood from two angles.

1, Viewing Urban Tourism Planning from Tourism Planning

According to the spatial scale, tourism planning can be divided into three categories: regional tourism planning, urban tourism planning and scenic spot planning. Regional tourism planning belongs to the macro scale, focusing on the layout and division of labor of tourism; The planning of scenic spots belongs to micro-scale, focusing on the development of scenic spots, including the configuration of landscapes, the construction of roads and other infrastructure, and the construction of tourism service facilities. Urban tourism planning is a meso-scale planning. Although cities are large and small, the planning content is similar, which requires both macro-positioning and micro-construction planning. Therefore, it is a comprehensive tourism planning, which should reflect the characteristics of different cities.

2. Urban tourism planning in urban planning.

An indispensable part of urban planning is the distinctive urban tourism planning. However, the content of urban tourism planning is very single, and the main achievements are the layout of tourist attractions and the organization of tourist routes in the city. Obviously, this is a city's "sightseeing plan" or sightseeing plan, not a real tourism plan. In this context, urban tourism planning is mainly urban planning, and its completion units are basically urban planning and design units, and most of the technicians of these units come from urban planning. In view of their academic background, their understanding of tourism industry and culture has great limitations; At the same time, planners carry out spatial layout according to the four functions of the city (namely, residence, production and recreation) proposed by 1933 Athens Charter, while recreation is not equal to tourism, and the scope is relatively small. Therefore, it is reasonable to regard urban tourism planning as "sightseeing planning".
