Why is tourism a product of a certain social culture?

1, tourists depend on a certain social and cultural background.

Whether a person can become a tourist must first have the ability to pay money and enough leisure time; Secondly, we should have the need and desire to travel. The former is an economic factor, which provides the possibility for people to travel. The latter belongs to cultural factors, that is, the cultural background that can motivate tourists to travel. This cultural background includes not only tourists' own cultural accomplishment, but also the social and cultural background of the places that attract tourists, which makes it necessary for people to travel abroad. So ancient tourists were limited to a few wealthy families and scholars, but now most tourists are born in countries with rich economy and developed culture, which is the reason. This shows that if a person wants to be a tourist, he must not only have enough money and time, but also have a demand for culture before he can have the motivation to travel abroad. 2. Tourism resources are the embodiment of a certain social and cultural environment.

Tourism resources are tourist attractions and objects for tourists to visit. Tourism resources are nothing more than natural tourism resources and humanistic tourism resources. Humanistic tourism resources in tourist reception areas include social politics, economy, law, morality, religion, history, science, art and national customs, all of which are social and cultural factors and must have national, ethnic and regional cultural colors. Although natural tourism resources are natural geographical conditions, that is, we often say natural landscapes, these natural landscapes must be developed and transformed by human labor, such as building roads, adding accommodation and other infrastructure, before they can become the objects for tourists to visit their territory directly. However, in the process of developing tourism resources, people can't do without their own social will, and always have their own social and cultural imprint. Once the natural scenery is decorated with national beauty, it has cultural connotation.

The ancients said, "There are no green mountains and rivers, no scenery, no words and no feelings", and "Literature shines on the earth, and mountains are beautiful in literature." It can be seen that both human resources and natural resources are "works" that condense human spiritual culture and are the embodiment of a certain social and cultural environment.

3. Tourism facilities and services are self-expression forms of certain social and cultural environment.

In terms of facilities, whether it is public infrastructure directly or indirectly serving tourism or facilities and equipment specially serving tourism activities, it must be backed by fairly developed social productive forces and scientific and technological equipment, especially modern tourism facilities cannot be separated from advanced scientific and technological equipment, which belongs to the category of social culture. At the same time, tourist facilities in different countries, nationalities and regions must have foreign history, art, architecture, fine arts, sculpture and other contents, so they have the characteristics of foreign culture. Therefore, tourist facilities, as tourist media, can not only serve as material conditions for tourists, but also be appreciated by tourists as foreign culture and art, thus increasing their charm. When the host country (or region) provides various tourism services to tourists, it will inevitably show various cultures and existing social features left over from the history of the country, the nation and the region in content and form. Especially the service personnel, including those who are in direct contact with tourists, their words and deeds will show the cultural literacy of a country's residents. As far as the whole service quality is concerned, the culture, temperament and management ability of managers and operators will inevitably be fully demonstrated. Therefore, tourism facilities and services, as the media of tourism, are not only the material and intangible conditions created by a certain social and cultural environment, but also the self-expression of a certain social and cultural environment.

To sum up, it can be seen that the emergence of tourists, the development of tourism resources and the construction of tourism facilities, as well as various services provided for tourists, are all social and cultural behaviors. Therefore, with the continuous development of social culture, it will inevitably enrich the cultural connotation of tourism, such as cultural tourism, cultural relics tourism, folk tourism and so on. There are 56 ethnic groups in China, and each ethnic group has its own culture. People's psychology of seeking differences urges people to travel abroad. "Therefore, we say that tourism is the product of a certain social culture.
