Paper.wenweipo/2010126/ed1010260038 China Hong Kong people travel abroad for a long time, and at the same time, they account for an important part of Hong Kong's service export output value. * * * Data show that the service industry in Hong Kong grew at an average annual rate of 6.9% from 1990 to 2008, reaching 1.

85.2 billion dollars. In 2009, the total value of Hong Kong's service exports reached US$ 86.4 billion, mainly including business services, transportation services and tourism services, of which business services accounted for 30%, transportation services accounted for 29% and tourism services accounted for 65,438+09%. Thus, tourism service is the main economic activity in Hong Kong. Many people who traveled abroad in the 1960s were not rich, so they were very expensive. In an earlier interview, Huang Shixin, the head of a local travel agency, pointed out that the income of Hong Kong people in China was not high in the 1960s, and traveling abroad was regarded as a luxury. Those who can travel by air are not rich, so planes are expensive. When they travel alone, they have more relatives and friends than those who go abroad. It can be seen that in the 1960s, Hong Kong's tourism industry was still in the development stage, and it had not yet become a climate. In the 1970s, when the economy took off, ordinary citizens had enough money to travel. In the 1970s, the economies of China and Hongkong developed gradually, citizens' incomes rose, their lives improved and they began to travel abroad. This move broke the situation that tourism was monopolized by social elites. According to Shi's article "Popular Culture and Consumer Life in China and Hong Kong", China and Hong Kong have different consumer cultures in different times. The details are as follows: During the period, the main consumer goods or services were the daily necessities of the 1950s, such as Baoji Pills and Oujia Whole Skin Water. In the 1960s, radios and watches were the mainstay. Electrical travel in the' 70s,' 80s. Related advertisements are overwhelming. As can be seen from the above table, in 1980s, tourism became the main consumption activity in China and Hongkong. At that time, travel agencies sprang up like mushrooms after rain, offering different travel options, ranging from expensive European tours to affordable Southeast Asian tours and even Chinese mainland tours. But it can be roughly divided into three categories: Europe and America with high prices, Japan with moderate prices, Southeast Asia and Chinese mainland with low prices. Self-help tour emerged in the 1990s, and people's understanding of tourism is deepening. They are no longer satisfied with simply going abroad for sightseeing, but hope to get to know different places and experience different cultures independently and deeply through tourism. Self-help travel has become popular, and many travel agencies offer air tickets and hotel packages to attract tourists. Some people think that this is the predecessor of "free travel". Since 2000, the theme of tour groups has catered to different needs. Today, tour groups not only become more diversified, but also develop in a deeper and unique way. Take a travel agency as an example, its web page shows that tourism themes can be roughly divided into four categories, namely leisure tour, in-depth tour, theme tour and road tour. Leisure tourism emphasizes a lot of free time. In-depth tours are mainly aimed at alternative destinations, such as Antarctica, South America, Iran and North Korea. Theme tours include celebrity groups, gourmet groups and even honeymoon groups. Celebrities are used to attract global cuisine, among which celebrity theme groups are one of the most popular choices in recent years. Related topics include food groups such as Cai Lan, Li Chunen and Master Zhou Zhong. In addition, there are some tour groups with mixed themes. For example, some travel agencies used the celebrity food Asu as a selling point, coupled with elements such as the red leaf season tour, to attract "Feng" and "Su" to travel happily to South Korea. In addition, some travel agencies offer alternative free travel, such as go on road trip, cruise tours and study tours. Some travel agencies even use "just send a group" to attract promotions and set off in groups with a specific activity as the theme.
