Regional distribution of world tourism and its reasons

Regional distribution law of world tourism;

Europe is not only the central reception area of international tourism in the world, but also the most important source of international tourists. Secondly, the United States is also an important source of international tourism in the world. The third largest source of tourists is East Asia and the Pacific. Although the economies of Middle Eastern countries are relatively rich, due to the small population base, the traditional tourism problems of residents account for a small proportion in the tourism market.

Reason: Although the international tourism flows have expanded from developed countries to developing countries since 1960s, and the geographical distribution of international tourism flows has changed to some extent, it has not fundamentally changed the overall development trend of international tourism flows. At present and in the future, the mainstream of international tourism flow is still relatively concentrated in developed countries.

Extended data

In terms of mobility, especially in long-distance international tourism, Europe and the United States have been the most important tourism sources and destinations in the world since the 1950s, and these two regions are mutually important tourism sources and destinations. No matter the number of tourists or the amount of consumption, these two regions have always occupied a dominant position. Therefore, the passenger flow between them is also the most important passenger flow in international long-distance tourism. ?

With the continuous development of social economy in the Asia-Pacific region, the status of this region in the world's international tourism industry is constantly improving. The rapid development of international tourism in the Asia-Pacific region since the mid-1970s and the growth trend of long-distance tourism in the overseas tourism market in Europe and America since the mid-1980s indicate that international tourism will form a main pattern of tripartite confrontation between Europe, America and the Asia-Pacific region in the next century.
