On the relationship between the development of tourism activities and economic and social development

Tourism is an activity that can only be developed when the economy and society develop to a certain extent. Tourism activities can greatly promote economic and social development. Tourism is actually a kind of spiritual consumption and a kind of clean production.

1. Tourism has good economic benefits, low input and high output. Take China as an example. In addition to the national investment in tourism, it mainly relies on its own good economic benefits for snowballing accumulation. During the Seventh Five-Year Plan period, the input-output ratio of China's tourism industry was 1:4:6, and the ratio of tourism input to tourism foreign exchange earning was 1:2:3, with low exchange cost. At the same time, tourism is an industry that creates high added value. The added value created by global tourism is growing steadily every year, and the level of added value is significantly higher than other industries. For example, the average annual added value of American tourism is $330 billion, agriculture is $90 billion, automobile industry is $55 billion, and metal industry is $40 billion. The same is true of other developed countries such as Germany, France, Britain and Japan. In addition, tourism is the main tax-paying industry of national finance. 1990, the world tourism industry provided $25 10 billion in tax revenue, accounting for 5.6% of the direct and indirect tax revenue of global enterprises. The above situation shows that tourism has played an important role in national financial accumulation and foreign exchange creation.

2. The development of tourism can promote the development of other related industries and increase jobs. Because tourism is a comprehensive industry, its business scope involves many departments of the national economy, so the development of tourism first makes many other related industries develop accordingly. According to the calculation, for every increase of tourism income of 1 yuan, the output value of the tertiary industry will increase correspondingly 10 and 20 yuan. Secondly, it has expanded social employment opportunities. Tourism involves many highly labor-intensive industries, such as catering, entertainment, commerce and transportation. Therefore, for every 1 direct employee in the tourism industry, more than five related indirect employees can be added. 1990, the tourism industry created about1180,000 jobs, providing 5.7 million jobs for the world, accounting for 6.5% of the new jobs in the world that year; From 1990 to 1993, the growth rate of tourism employment was higher than 50%, which promoted the development of related industries. Thirdly, because of its good economic benefits, tourism has become a hot spot of investment, including foreign investment. 1990, the world tourism investment was $35 10 billion, accounting for 6.7% of the total global investment, which contributed to the prosperity of the world economy.

3. Promote the deepening of international economic cooperation and the growth of the world economy, and deepen the economic and life ties and mutual cooperation among countries through frequent exchanges of international tourism. It not only promotes the development of tourism and related industries, but also drives a series of economic chain reactions. For example, purchase raw materials and equipment from other industries, purchase advanced technology, increase profits and employee income. , making tourism the largest industry in the world, and its contribution has surpassed that of other industrial sectors, thus contributing to the sustained growth of the world national economy and its total output value. As the most widely used language in the world, English also plays a vital role in the development of tourism.

1, tourism is a kind of economic and social development to a certain extent. Tourism activities can greatly promote economic and social development. Tourism is actually a kind of spiritual consumption and a kind of clean production. After the economic and social development to a well-off society, if we still attach importance to and rely heavily on material consumption, it will only waste resources, accelerate consumption, aggravate pollution and push mankind to extinction; We must find another way.

2. The ultimate goal of human economic development is to meet human needs and make human life better and happier. When people have plenty of food and clothing, what people need more is spiritual satisfaction and service satisfaction. Only at this time will people's needs be highlighted. The development of service industry and tourism is undoubtedly an important economic growth point.
