What's the difference between tourist souvenirs and tourist commodities?

Tourist souvenirs, as the name implies, are exquisite, portable and have regional and national characteristics, which are memorable. There is no clear definition of tourist souvenirs in academic circles. But in terms of ownership, tourist souvenirs belong to tourist commodities, and tourist commodities have a clear definition. That is, the sum of tangible and intangible services (intangible goods) with use value and value provided by suppliers to meet the needs of tourists for the purpose of sale and exchange. Such as tourism landscape, tourism service, tourism route, tourism former residence, tourism facilities, tourism transportation, etc. They are all called tourism products, which is wrong and unscientific. It should be called tourist goods.

Tourist souvenirs belong to tourist commodities, and there are many kinds of tourist commodities.

Liu Dunrong divides tourism commodities into three categories: tourist souvenirs, tourist supplies and tourist consumer goods. [3]

Shi Meiyu divides tourist shopping commodities into four categories: tourist souvenirs, tourist consumer goods, tourist specialties and other commodities. [4]

Gao Aimin divides tourist commodities into daily necessities, tourist food, local products, cultural relics and antiques, traditional handicrafts and tourist souvenirs. [5]

Because the definition of tourist souvenirs lacks academic support, it is difficult to classify them.

Personally, I don't think tourist souvenirs are necessarily commodities, but they may be things you get during your trip, but they are not for sale. For example, when you go to Gobi, you return a bottle of sand, which is a souvenir, not a commodity. Tourist commodities may or may not be souvenirs, such as T-shirts and badges bought in souvenir shops, but some daily-use commodities with little commemorative tourist value are ordinary tourist commodities in some tourist areas.

If you are satisfied, please adopt it.
