What is the background of tourists?

Our so-called "tourism" can be roughly divided into three stages.

In this period of ancient tourism, due to the low level of productivity development, "tourism" was mostly for political purposes, such as the exchange of envoys between countries. Of course, it also aims to spread religious personal adventures, such as Jian Zhen's eastward crossing, but this is limited to a very small number of people in a certain class.

After 184 1 year of modern tourism, productivity has developed by leaps and bounds because of the desire for industrial revolution. In Britain, for-profit organizations for ordinary people first appeared, and then travel agencies were born. But at this stage, tourism still belongs to high-end consumption and has not formed a complete industrial structure. Tourists are still limited to a few people.

Modern Tourism In 1950s, the new scientific and technological revolution promoted the rapid development of economy, the progress of transportation, the improvement of people's income level and the continuous establishment of quasi-travel agencies, thus a new group of tourists emerged. The main features of modern tourism are: the popularization of tourism subjects, the expansion of tourism space, the diversification of tourism methods and contents, and the entertainment of tourism purposes.
