Why do people's travel activities in primitive society have obvious survival characteristics?

Characteristics of early human tourism activities _ the basis of tourism

Third, the characteristics of early human travel activities

According to the stage characteristics of the development of travel and tourism activities, the early stage here refers to the period from the emergence of travel activities to the nineteenth century, and its time span includes the late primitive society, slave society and feudal society. The characteristics of early human travel activities refer to the overall characteristics of human travel activities in this period, which are embodied in the following aspects:

First of all, the development level of travel activities is positively related to the development level of productivity. As mentioned above, travel behavior is actually a social and historical phenomenon, which has not existed since human beings began. Social productivity, as a driving force, promotes the emergence of tourism phenomenon, and it will also promote the development and progress of tourism activities as a driving force. This is because, first of all, with the development of productivity and technological progress, the cost of human space transfer will continue to decrease, the radius of activities will continue to expand, and the objective conditions for travel activities will continue to improve; Secondly, with the continuous development of social productive forces and the deepening of division of labor, the scale of personnel exchanges between different regions will also expand day by day; Finally, due to the continuous improvement of labor productivity, people spend less time on productive labor, so they may have more free time, which objectively creates favorable conditions for the development of tourism activities.

Second, the economic and political situation of a country or region will directly affect the rise and development of tourism activities in this region. The development of tourism activities needs a stable social environment and a good economic situation. Therefore, when a country or region is in a unified period of social stability, productivity development and economic prosperity, tourism activities will rise and develop. On the contrary, if the above-mentioned conditions for developing travel activities are not available for some reason, travel activities will stagnate or even go backwards.

Third, the scale of travel activities is increasing with the progress of society, and various non-economic travel activities are constantly emerging and developing, but business travel is still the most important form of travel.

Fourthly, the proportion of participants in travel activities is very small, which is due to the small scale of early human travel activities. Among these participants, business travelers for economic purposes are absolutely dominant, while leisure travelers are limited to the ruling class and its vassals.
