The differences and connections between leisure, tourism and leisure activities

Leisure, tourism and leisure activities are three different concepts, with obvious differences and connections between them.

Leisure is a general term that refers to people seeking physical and mental relaxation through various "entertainment" or "entertainment" methods in their leisure time, cultivating interests unrelated to making a living, and spontaneously participating in social activities. It is a free activity after completing the necessary labor in society, and is a form of human life state. The extension of leisure is larger than tourism. It includes activities performed in the residence and also includes activities performed outdoors. It can be simply understood as activities to relax the body and mind.

Tourism is a variety of physical and mental freedom experiences where people use their spare time to travel, visit and stay in places outside their daily life and work environment for the main purposes of recreation, aesthetic appreciation, and seeking knowledge. It is a short-term (generally considered to be more than one day and less than one year) leisure lifestyle, cross-cultural exchange and high-level consumption activities for people in other places. Simply put, travel is a variety of physical and mental freedom experiences that people use in their spare time to go to places outside their daily life and work environment. Tourism as a form of leisure means that tourism is a subset of leisure.

Leisure activities are a relatively broad concept, which includes leisure (such as reading, walking, meditation, etc.), entertainment (such as watching movies, attending concerts, etc.), and tourism (such as domestic travel, overseas travel, etc.) etc.) and other forms of recreation (such as fitness, attending social events, etc.).

In general, leisure, tourism and leisure activities are indispensable parts of people's lives. They meet people's needs in different aspects and make people's lives more colorful. At the same time, there are obvious differences and connections between them. These concepts are constantly evolving and expanding with the development of society and changes in people's lifestyles.
