What are the characteristics of modern tourism development?

1. An important feature of the tourism industry is its strong comprehensiveness and integrity. It is an industry as a whole composed of six major elements: transportation, housing, food, travel, shopping and entertainment. For tourists, what they need to buy and consume

is the entire experience they get in a tourism activity. Therefore, in the entire tourism process, any industry

or a Insufficient supply, poor service, or even problems that cannot meet the needs of tourists will be considered as low-quality tourism services, thus affecting the reputation of the entire tourism industry. However, for a period of time, especially in the initial stage, many comrades tend to only regard hotels, restaurants and travel agencies as tourism, and invest more in hotels and restaurants, while For transportation (especially major transportation), shopping, entertainment, and even the construction of tourist attractions, it seems that they are not within the scope of the tourism industry. Facing a comprehensive and integrated tourism industry, it lacks an authoritative and powerful comprehensive administrative department to manage it. This is an important reason for the imbalance of the tourism industry industry structure and the loss of macro management.

2. Another characteristic of tourism is its service nature. It is an industry that mainly provides non-material products - service products. Modern tourism continues to develop with the rapid development of productivity. According to relevant comrade research, when the per capita GDP of a country reaches 800 to 1,000 US dollars, residents will generally have domestic tourism.

When the travel motivation reaches 4,000 to 10,000 US dollars, the motivation for international travel will be generated. When the amount exceeds 10,000 US dollars, the motivation for intercontinental travel will be generated. When they participate in tourism activities, they need high-quality services to achieve spiritual and material enjoyment and satisfaction. At the same time, the realization of service labor is the unity of production process and consumption process in time and space. Service staff and consumers mostly meet directly and are together. Therefore, in tourism service activities, people - the initiative and enthusiasm of service personnel play a very important role. However,

for a long time, our country has implemented a "big pot, iron rice bowl" labor wage system. At present, state-owned tourism enterprises

still cannot get rid of its influence and constraints, so they have never been able to get rid of its influence and constraints. Overall, the initiative and enthusiasm of service staff are still low, and the service attitude and service quality are still poor. This is an important reason for the low economic benefits of tourism.

3. Another characteristic of tourism is its cultural nature. Tourism is not only an economic undertaking, but also has a strong cultural nature. Tourists go sightseeing in various places, whether they go to Xi'an to visit the Terracotta Warriors or Horses, or go to Guilin to visit the Li River landscape, it is all a cultural activity, and it is all to meet the needs of their cultural life. At the current stage of our country, it should be said that tourism is an economic-cultural undertaking. In the future, as the level of productivity continues to improve, it may be further adjusted to focus on culture and become a cultural-economic undertaking. In recent years, many cities have jointly carried out cultural exchanges and developed tourism, and have initially tasted the benefits. For example, the International Film Festival is held in Shanghai, the Kite Festival is held in Weifang, and the Dinosaur Lantern Festival is held in Zigong. However, Shanghai's investment in tourism landscape in the past 12 years has only been 200 million yuan, accounting for about 2% of the total investment in the tourism industry. The importance of developing cultural resources has not yet attracted the attention of leading departments. This is another important reason why the tourist source of Shanghai's tourism industry is not growing rapidly, the number of days tourists stay in Shanghai is declining, and the economic efficiency is not high.

4． Another characteristic of tourism is its combination nature. The tourism industry is a comprehensive industry composed of six major elements: travel, accommodation, food, travel, shopping, and entertainment. They require close collaboration and integration with each other to provide high-quality services to tourists

. In particular, the integration of tourism industries between regions plays a very important role in cities like Shanghai that are in short supply of tourist attractions. This combination of tourism industries can expand sales, reduce costs, improve service quality, and increase economic benefits to promote the development of the tourism industry. However, at present

Shanghai's tourism industry is facing a situation of numerous systems, fragmentation, regional segmentation and blind competition. This is another important reason for the imbalance of industrial structure and low economic benefits.
