What are the basic principles of tourist route design?

Principles that should be followed when designing tourist routes:

1. Principle of market demand

Tourists’ different regions, ages, cultures, and occupations have different influences on the tourism market. Demand is different. With the development of social economy, the overall demand of the tourism market is also constantly changing. Successful tourism route design must first conduct sufficient research on market demand.

Market-oriented, predict the trend and quantity of market demand, analyze tourists’ travel motivations, and continuously process, improve, and upgrade original tourist routes according to market demand, and develop new ones. The tourist routes should be designed to meet the needs of tourists, so as to satisfy the needs of tourists to the maximum extent and have continuous attraction to tourists.

2. In line with the principle of tourists’ wishes

Tourists are the subject of tourism activities. When designing and selling tourist routes, tourists’ wishes must be the starting point. Under normal circumstances, the accessibility probability of tourists decreases rapidly as the distance increases.

3. Principle of diversification

There are many types of tourist attractions, tourist activities, catering, accommodation, transportation, and services, which can be combined into Various types of tourist routes are available for the market to choose from. Only when tourist routes are designed in a variety of ways can we attract tourists and better serve them.

4. Safety first principle

In the process of tourism activities, it is inevitable to encounter accidents caused by natural or man-made reasons that cause personal or property losses to tourists. In the process of designing tourist routes, we must keep in mind the tourism safety management policy - "Safety first, prevention first", do a good job in preliminary destination inspections, and implement safety precautions throughout the entire tourist route.

5. Principle of time rationality

The time of a tourist route begins when the tourist accepts the service of the tour operator, and ends when the tourist successfully completes the tourist activity and leaves the service of the tour operator. .

Whether the time arrangement of the travel route is reasonable, first of all, it depends on whether the time position and spacing of the various services on the travel route are appropriate. Secondly, within the limited time tourists have, try to make use of fast transportation and shorten the simple transportation time, so as to gain more visiting time and reduce the fatigue of the journey.

6. The principle of highlighting the theme?

Themes and features can make tourist routes full of charm, strong competitiveness and vitality. Personalized tourism needs promote the themeization of tourism. Themed tourism routes, themed travel agencies, themed tourism hotels and resorts, and themed tourism projects are booming.

Planning of tourist routes

The reason why tourist routes are divided into the so-called "golden tourist routes" and "warm and cold tourist routes", "all-weather tourist routes" and "seasonal tourist routes" The difference is that in addition to some objective constraints on the route itself, the social ability and skills of the tourist route designer are also one of the key factors.

Designing a tourist route is a complex and careful project, but designing a more perfect tourist route is not only to design the tourism product of the destination, but also to carefully polish the beautiful scenery for tourists through the connected scenery. Memories allow visitors to gain more memorable moments.
