What impact does high-speed rail have on tourism?

The impact of high-speed railway on tourism includes: high-speed railway will change the tourism traffic pattern in China; The era of "fast travel and slow travel" will come, and "individual travel" will show rapid growth; Areas with high-grade tourism resources along the high-speed railway that were previously neglected will become new tourist hotspots; Regional tourism cooperation will present a new situation.

1. Will the high-speed rail change the tourist traffic pattern in China?

1. In the era of railway "green leather car", it is faster to travel by car than by train, and many passengers choose to travel by car. Due to the limitation of route and speed, the "green leather car" has no advantage in the whole passenger transport market, and it can only watch the roads and aviation encroach on its own territory.

2. With the advent of the "high-speed rail era", the high-speed railway will provide a new transportation option for long-distance cross-regional travel of 300 ~ 1000 km. Its lower end will occupy a part of the highway passenger transport market, and its upper end will have an important impact on the air passenger transport market. Judging from the passenger transport situation in the past two years, the domino effect brought by high-speed trains (including trains with a speed of 250 kilometers per hour) not only affects highway passenger transport, but also has a significant impact on air passenger transport.

3. Almost all the long-distance buses in the same direction as the EMUs were defeated, and the attendance rate and ticket price decreased. With the opening of Hefei-Wuhan Railway, the running time of bullet trains between Wuhan and Nanjing has been shortened from about 10 hour to 3 hours, and the second-class ticket price of bullet trains is only 180 yuan. This situation directly caused the bus fare from Wuhan to Nanjing to drop sharply from 208 yuan to around 1 10 yuan, and the attendance rate also dropped sharply, which also grounded all flights from Nanjing to Wuhan.

This is also the first civil aviation route that has been forced to stop since the opening of Wuhan-Nanjing high-speed railway. High-speed trains (bullet trains) occupy the highway and civil aviation passenger transport market, and are also staged on Beijing-Taiyuan, Wuhan-Guangzhou, Shanghai-Wenzhou and Xi 'an-Zhengzhou lines. In the foreseeable future, with the gradual completion and improvement of the high-speed railway network, the high-speed railway will change the tourism traffic pattern. ?

Second, the era of "fast travel and slow travel" is coming, and "individual travel" will show rapid growth?

1. Before the appearance of high-speed rail, ordinary tourists spent most of their travel time on the road because of inconvenient transportation, and their sightseeing time in scenic spots was limited.

Tourists come and go in a hurry, and finally they will leave some photos to prove that they have been here. Nowadays, due to the convenient transportation brought by the high-speed rail, tourists can spend less time on the road and more time on the scenic spots. The era of "fast travel and slow travel" is coming to us under the impetus of high-speed rail. ?

3. Take a group tour, though don't worry. We tourists don't need to spend time making our own travel itinerary. We just need to sign a travel contract with the travel agency, pay the fee, and then follow the prison guide.

But its shortcomings are obvious to all. Tourists have little freedom and the itinerary is very dull. Nevertheless, before 2005, most people traveled with a group, because traveling with a group was relatively cheap, and they didn't have to worry about all kinds of problems encountered in the process of traveling.

With the increasing tourism experience and the improvement of public services such as travel and transportation, "individual travel" is increasingly favored by tourists. Free travel is also called self-help tour, semi-self-help tour and self-help tour abroad. It is a form of tourism in which tourists arrange their own travel itinerary and pay various travel expenses sporadically.

6. Individual travel is very popular with tourists because of its flexibility, freedom and selectivity. The individual market share of major European and American tourist receiving countries has reached 70% ~ 80%, and the individual management ability has become an important symbol to measure the maturity of tourism in a country and region. Under the background that individual travel has become the mainstream of international tourism, high-speed rail will promote the rapid growth of individual travel in China. ?

3. Will the previously neglected high-grade tourist resources areas along the high-speed rail become new tourist hotspots?

1. From an economic point of view, the most direct benefit from the opening of high-speed rail should be tourism. Tourism is an industry supported by passenger flow, and passenger flow is wealth to tourism. Without passenger flow, no matter how beautiful the tourist attractions are, it is meaningless.

Those tourist resources along the high-speed rail are of high grade. It turned out that they were raised in an unknown place in the mountains because of inconvenient transportation. After the opening of the high-speed rail, it will bring them rare development opportunities.

3. For example, Shanxi Province is rich in tourism resources. The Sophora japonica, Guandi Temple and Wutai Mountain are the roots of the Chinese nation and the holy places of many people in China. However, due to traffic restrictions, it has been tepid for many years. The opening of Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Passenger Dedicated Line has narrowed the time and space distance between Shanxi and Beijing-Tianjin-Tanggu area around Bohai Sea, which not only greatly "warmed up" the tourism industry, but also promoted the rapid development of related industries.

4. Similarly, Hengyang, known as "the land of important culture and the holy place of religion", is an important node on the golden line of Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed rail tourism. In the past, it was also restricted by traffic, and the potential of tourism was not fully exerted. After the opening of the high-speed rail, the number of passengers increased rapidly. From June to May of 20 10, the city * * * received 7,600,900 tourists, achieving a tourism income of 3,725 million yuan, up by 27. 1% and 38.4% respectively. There has been a good situation in which the off-season is not weak and the peak season is more prosperous.

The recently opened Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway is also bringing unprecedented opportunities to the tourism development of Jinan, Tai 'an and Jining in Shandong. It can be predicted that with the opening of more and more high-speed rail lines in the next few years, some new tourist destinations will be presented to tourists, and the map of China tourist destinations will be rewritten to some extent. ?

4. Will regional tourism cooperation present a new trend?

1. The high-speed railway will lead to a wider flow of tourists and will certainly promote the process of regional tourism cooperation. In the past, regional tourism cooperation presented a block cooperation, and more was the tourism cooperation of neighboring regions.

2. High-speed rail will promote tourism cooperation among cities along the high-speed rail, and tourism cooperation will show linear characteristics. How to integrate the resources of tourist attractions in a wider scope, design tourist routes and achieve win-win cooperation will become a new proposition in the high-speed rail era.

3. It will be the general trend to formulate a broader regional tourism plan, explore new measures to solve the constraints of regional tourism development, realize barrier-free tourism between regions, eliminate institutional obstacles, and establish a system of complaints and joint law enforcement in different places.
