Do tourist attractions occupy a dominant position in tourism?

Tourism is different from other industries. Tourism is not a single industry, but an industrial cluster, which is composed of various industries and has diversity and dispersion. Tourism includes scenic spot management, travel agency and hotel services, catering services, transportation, entertainment and many other commercial industries. These industries also provide services for local residents, so the concept and scope of tourism are vague and uncertain.
