What are the historical periods of world tourism development?

The history of world tourism can be divided into three periods: ancient travel and tourism, modern tourism and modern tourism.

I. Characteristics of ancient travel (184 1 year ago):

1, ancient travel, tourism motivation is more related to material utility, religion and political purposes.

2. Therefore, ancient travel and tourism activities were often combined with trade, religious travel and the cruise activities of slave owners and feudal emperors, among which religious pilgrimage accounted for a large proportion of long-distance travel.

3. The exploration and study tour represented by Europeans are relatively developed, but there is a tendency of material possession and colonial culture.

Second, the specific characteristics of modern tourism (184 1 to World War II):

1, the multi-level composition of tourists.

2. The entertainment factor in tourism motivation has increased.

3. Expand the space for tourism activities.

4. With the arrival of tourism, the tourism security system has been comprehensively promoted.

5. Tourism has produced a certain correlation and driving effect.

Extended data:

Characteristics of modern tourism:

First, the popularity of tourists.

The so-called popularization (not the "mass tourism" mode here) refers to the extensiveness of the tourism class, especially the active participation of ordinary people, which has become the main force of modern tourism and made tourism develop from aristocratic to civilian.

Second, the universality of the region:

The development of tourism depends on the improvement of social productivity. Therefore, modern tourism and sightseeing first arose in western developed countries.

After the Second World War, with the rapid development of the world economy and the improvement of people's living standards, people in many developing countries gradually have the conditions to participate in tourism activities.

First at home, then abroad, such as China. Not only is the domestic tourism booming, but it has now become a new tourist exporter in Asia.

Third, uneven development:

Although modern tourism has regional universality, there is a serious imbalance in regional development. Looking at the development of international tourism after World War II, Europe has always occupied an absolute advantage, regardless of the number of tourists or the amount of tourists spent, while Africa and the Middle East accounted for a small proportion.

Fourth, the sustainability of growth:

After the Second World War, the development of the world economy has experienced many twists and turns, especially the economies of western capitalist countries have experienced the impact of many economic crises. Only tourism is unique and enduring, and it is still in the ascendant, becoming an industry that never knows what a "sunset industry" is.
