Tourism geography knowledge?

Tourism is a link between professional tourists and tourism resources, and it is a comprehensive industry that provides tourists with the goods and services they need. It can not only meet the tourism needs of modern people, but also promote and drive the development of economy, society and culture.

Tourists are comprehensive industries that serve tourists, create conditions for their tourism activities and provide services.

In short, tourism is an industrial model (economy) formed by the development of tourism (geography).

2. The main characteristics of modern tourism

① comprehensiveness; 2 service; ③ Foreign-related; (4) driving; ⑤ Vulnerability.

3. Definition and judgment of tourism

Tourism is a human socio-economic activity under certain socio-economic conditions, which is manifested as a comprehensive material and cultural life in which people temporarily leave their permanent residence for entertainment and enjoyment.

4. Judgment methods and skills:

Tourism activities are different from other leisure activities by the otherness of "activity space";

As far as the "entertainment" of "activity purpose" is concerned, tourism activities are different from other economic activities;

The difference between tourism activities and "population migration" lies in the timeliness of "activity time";

Tourism activities are different from general consumption activities by "high level" of "consumption activities";

Tourism activities must be combined with consumption.

5. The concept and connotation of tourism resources

The concept of tourism resources

Tourism resources refer to natural existence and historical and cultural heritage that are attractive to tourists, as well as artificial creation directly used for tourism purposes.

The core of tourism resources is the attraction to tourists.

Tourism resources can be scenery or customs.

Connotation of tourism resources

(1) facilities that attract tourists and are directly used for appreciation and entertainment generally include facilities that provide services for tourism;

② It can be developed and utilized through tourism.

③ It can produce social, economic and environmental benefits.

Types of tourism resources

According to the essential attributes of tourism resources, tourism resources are generally divided into natural tourism resources and humanistic tourism resources.

6. The value of tourism resources

aesthetic value

Aesthetic value is mainly aimed at natural landscape. The most fundamental reason why natural scenic spots attract tourists is that they have aesthetic value. People go to natural scenic spots for sightseeing, vacation and recuperation, and the main purpose is to feel the beauty of natural landscape.

The aesthetic value of natural scenic spots combined with various natural landscapes is higher than the mechanical accumulation of individual aesthetic values of various natural landscapes. For example, hydrological landscapes such as rivers, lakes, streams, waterfalls and springs, as well as landscape combinations dominated by rocks, can produce different aesthetic feelings such as dynamic, rigid, flexible, open and quiet. On the basis of landscape, animals and plants not only enrich the content of natural beauty, but also make nature full of vitality; The ever-changing weather and seasonal changes in climate make the natural beauty different from time to time and from season to season.

Scientific value

The scientific value is mainly aimed at the natural landscape. Many scenic spots are often typical in geoscience. For example, the volcanoes in Hawaii, the Great Rift Valley in East Africa and the glacial landforms in Northern Europe are all world-famous scenic spots. Mount Tai and Lushan in China are both fault-block mountains with tall images. Guilin landscape and Lunan Stone Forest are typical karst landforms. Huangshan is a typical granite landform; The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is a typical river canyon landform. Many famous mountains, national parks and nature reserves are rich in biological resources. Famous scenic mountains are of great value to the study of alpine climate, vertical natural zones of mountains and the causes of clouds.

Historical and cultural value

The historical and cultural value of tourism resources is mainly aimed at human landscape.

Such as ancient buildings, cliff stone carvings, calligraphy and painting inscriptions, as well as the remains and former sites of celebrity activities.

economic value

The development of all tourism resources will produce great economic benefits.

At present, tourism has developed into one of the most important industrial sectors in the world.

Entertainment value

Using tourism resources to develop mountaineering, camping, skiing, rock climbing, hunting, forest bathing, water sports and other tourism projects can meet the recreational needs of tourists.

Social and cultural values and environmental values

Generally speaking, the functions of tourism resources with high artistic and aesthetic values are mainly manifested in sightseeing, while those with high cultural and scientific values are mainly manifested in culture.

According to the function of a tourism resource, the development direction of its location can be determined.

7. Geographical location and transportation

The geographical location and traffic conditions of tourism resources directly affect its development value.

Location and traffic are one of the important conditions for the development of tourism resources.

Traffic conditions determine the "accessibility" of the location of tourism resources and the difficulty of tourism resources development.

Many places, because of their special geographical location, have enhanced their attraction.

For example, the Royal Observatory at the starting point of latitude and longitude, the town of Gallagari in Ecuador at the equator and Stockholm in Sweden at the starting point of extreme day and night in the northern hemisphere are all hot spots in the world.

market

The economic value of a tourist destination is sometimes not necessarily proportional to the value of other tourism resources, but depends on the tourism market to a great extent. The analysis and evaluation of tourism market is the premise of developing tourism resources.

The main indicators of tourist market evaluation mainly include tourist destinations, the number of tourists, seasonal changes of the number of tourists, stay time, the distance between tourist destinations and tourist destinations, and the age, gender, occupation and education level of tourists.

Among them, the tourist destination, the distance between tourist destinations and tourist destinations are the two most basic indicators.

Tourist source area

Tourist source refers to tourist source.

The formation of tourist destinations is the product of a certain stage of economic development. At present, most international tourist destinations are economically developed countries and regions, such as Western Europe, North America and Japan.

In general, the more developed the social economy, the stronger the development ability and the greater the attraction to tourists.

Distance between tourist destination and tourist source

The attraction radius of a tourist destination is limited.

Generally speaking, the development and utilization value of tourism resources close to economically developed countries or regions (that is, the main tourist source areas) is better than that far from economically developed regions. The farther the distance between the location of tourism resources and the location of tourists is, the less attractive the tourism resources are, and the number of tourists decreases accordingly.

8. Infrastructure

The service facilities where tourism resources are located (such as transportation, water and electricity, telecommunications and accommodation) will also affect the order and scale of tourism resources development.

9. Other conditions

Other development conditions include capital conditions, construction conditions, existing development conditions and tourism service facilities.

First of all, the development of tourism resources needs the continuous support of a large amount of funds.

Secondly, tourism resources development projects must consider the size and difficulty of the project.
