The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and the main contradiction in our society has been transformed into the contradiction between the people's growing need for a better life and the unbalanced development. In the era of focusing on economic development, tourism is called smokeless industry because of low resource consumption and light environmental pollution, which has made important contributions to the transformation of national economy. As China enters a new era with the goal of pursuing a better life, tourism will develop into a comprehensive happiness industry and play a more comprehensive role in promoting the healthy development of society. In the new era, sociology should re-examine the essence of tourism, explore the social significance of tourism, and find a new perspective and path for tourism academic research and applied research.
