What's the difference between a trip and a holiday? (turning)

1, concept analysis Sightseeing is a tourism consumption activity with the main purpose and content of visiting and enjoying natural landscapes and folk customs. Sightseeing is the most common and popular tourism product. From the point of view of tourists, tourism products are "a kind of tourism experience that tourists spend a certain amount of time, money and energy in exchange", which has been recognized to a certain extent in China's tourism academic circles. Holiday tourism is a kind of tourism product form after the development of tourism to a certain stage. There are many differences between holiday tourism and sightseeing tourism: first, holiday tourism must occur within a certain period of time. Secondly, holiday tourism and sightseeing tourism also have differences in purpose. Vacation tourism is a way to relax and relax with vacation and leisure as its main purpose and content (J.D.Strapp, 1988). Holiday tourism often starts with the purpose of health care and treatment, and finally develops into a way of making friends, recreation and entertainment (Liu Jiaming, 1999). Compared with other forms of tourism such as sightseeing, holiday tourism has the following characteristics (pool 1998): the destination is relatively fixed; More emphasis on rest; Stay in one place for a long time; High rate of return; No need to be accompanied by a tour guide; The requirements for entertainment facilities are higher. 2. Independence of Sightseeing Tourism From the consumer's point of view, that is, tourists, sightseeing and vacation are two completely different tourism consumption needs, and they cannot replace each other at all. Sightseeing is mainly out of curiosity, leaving one's usual place of residence and going to a tourist destination to see something rare or rare that one has never seen before, so as to satisfy one's curiosity or learn from it. This is called "Walking Wan Li Road and Reading thousands of books"; Vacation, on the other hand, is to entertain and relax in a leisure way. Can you imagine that a consumer going to Yalong Bay for a holiday is equivalent to going to Jiuzhaigou to see the magical landscape, or there is no need to see the Potala Palace? In other words, a consumer has traveled many times in the first half of his life, sightseeing many times, and then "upgraded" to a holiday (unless he has traveled all over the world)? Or, when you are on vacation, can't you visit the beautiful scenery around you? Or, a German who is used to going to the Mediterranean for a holiday every summer, out of curiosity about the Far East, deliberately chose to take a long-distance sightseeing tour in China on the occasion of the Beijing Olympic Games, so the level of tourism decreased? In fact, sightseeing and vacation only have different functions, and there is no hierarchy. Perhaps the main purpose of tourists in a trip is sightseeing or vacation, but sightseeing and vacation are absolutely irreplaceable consumer needs. Whether it is an individual tourist consumer or a group tourist consumer, these two consumption behaviors will exist for a long time. As long as these two demands exist at the same time, it is impossible to change from traditional sightseeing to holiday tourism. Indeed, sightseeing is a form of tourism with a long history and relatively easy to realize to some extent. However, this kind of tourism cannot be considered as low-level. Any form of tourism has different levels, including high-level sightseeing (such as Antarctic sightseeing) and low-level holiday tourism (such as farmhouse music). All forms of tourism are based on people's tourism needs. "Tourism demand refers to the tendency of individuals to automatically balance and choose tourism pleasure behavior when people are in a state of lack of tourism, which is a conscious reflection of psychological internal drive in the minds of potential tourists." Natural scenery is a direct stimulus to tourists' sensory organs, and tourists' acquisition of tourism aesthetic feeling or cognition of landscape mostly comes from direct sightseeing and aesthetic feeling obtained from landscape.
