Why can tourism develop?

1. Increase foreign exchange income. With the development of international political, economic and cultural exchanges, the role of foreign exchange as a means of national payment has become increasingly significant. As a foreign exchange income, tourism plays an important role in the country's earning of foreign exchange and balancing the international balance of payments. This has been proven by practice and is recognized by people.

2. Develop regional economy. Tourism is a highly comprehensive industry. Food, accommodation, transportation, travel, shopping and entertainment are the six major elements of tourism. We need to have food, shelter, access in and out, things to buy, and places to have fun. Therefore, the development of tourism will inevitably drive the development of industries such as catering, construction, transportation, postal and telecommunications, gardening, commerce, textiles, and insurance that are directly related to this factor.

3. Increase employment opportunities. As tourism promotes the development of many industries, it increases employment opportunities for the entire society. Tourism is a comprehensive industry that not only directly provides employment opportunities to the society, but also indirectly provides employment opportunities to the society. According to international customary calculations, the ratio of direct employment to indirect employment in the tourism industry is approximately 1:5.

4. Poverty alleviation. Tourism is a quick-acting, permanent poverty alleviation development project. It can be seen from the development process of international and domestic tourism that the development speed of tourism is much faster than the development speed of various industries. Tourism only became an industry after World War II. In less than half a century, it rapidly developed into the world's largest industry. This kind of development speed is unmatched by any industry. Therefore, tourism is a short-term, flat, fast and permanent poverty alleviation development project.
