Types of tourist routes

1. The concept of tourist routes: From the perspective of travel agency product design (focusing on product functions), this concept is widely adopted by travel agency managers, and some scholars' analysis of tourist routes is also based on this concept. It defines tourist routes as a commodity form with certain combination flexibility, and considers tourist routes as the core components of tourist products.

2. The tourist route is not only the trajectory of tourists in the whole tourism process, but more importantly, it includes the schedule of tourists in the whole tourism activity and all the services provided for tourists, such as "accommodation, tourism, entertainment" and their prices. (judgment)

3. Group package tour: 15 or more, the money is paid in advance to the travel agency at one time, and all related services are entrusted to a travel agency. Comprehensive services can be all-inclusive or part-inclusive. More constraints, more time for group activities, favorable prices and a sense of security. Individual package tour: all-inclusive or part-inclusive, no group discount, and few collective constraints during the trip. Traditional line design is mostly guided by package tour (group package tour).

4. Guiding ideology of tourist route design (choice): ① Innovative spirit ② Relying on the superior location conditions and good regional economic foundation of A city (Shanghai-Nanjing-Hangzhou area, Beijing and its suburbs). Slightly poor tourist attractions, such as An, Guang and Pearl River Delta, have high resource grade, poor location conditions and economic background (Jiuhua Mountain in Huangshan, Anhui, Zhangjiajie in Hunan, Three Gorges in Yichang, Huangguoshu in Guizhou and Emei Mountain in Sichuan), poor resource grade and good location and economic conditions (Wuhan, Hubei and Chengdu, Sichuan), regional cooperation, aesthetic concept, ecological concept and cultural values.

5. Problems in China's tourist route design ① Route-based, ② Unreasonable route design, ③ Line type does not meet the market requirements, ④ Slow update of route design, ⑤ Less researchers, and ⑤ Travel agency as the center of tourist route design.
