What role does tourism development play in promoting urbanization?

The dynamic mechanism of my country’s urbanization development mainly takes the following forms:

(1) Industrial promotion type. Such small towns and townships have developed industries and good infrastructure. The development of industrial districts drives the development of small towns. Farmers achieve urbanization through the method of "leaving the soil but not leaving their hometown", such as southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang;

(2) Market trade promotion type. The development characteristics of this type of small towns are that the city is prosperous. It is a distribution center for traditional commodities and a market trade area. It has certain infrastructure. Through the improvement of infrastructure, it can expand The scope of market trade increases urban density, and then develops into regional small shopping malls focusing on market transportation, such as Yiwu, Zhejiang; (3) Tourism promotion type, such small towns are generally scenic spots Historical sites and places rich in tourism resources have formed small towns through the development of tourism resources and the construction of supporting facilities, such as Xidi and Hongcun in Huangshan;

(4) Transportation promotion type, which Small towns are generally located in transportation hubs and other places with convenient transportation. They can take advantage of the large number of mobile people and low transportation costs to vigorously develop secondary and tertiary industries;

(5) Suburban type, this type of small towns Located in the suburbs of large and medium-sized cities, it has superior geographical advantages. With the help of large and medium-sized cities, it can develop service industries or industries spread by large and medium-sized cities, and then develop into a satellite city.

(6) Industrial and mining service promotion type. Most of these small towns or rural areas are located near large and medium-sized industrial and mining enterprises. By establishing the tertiary industry to serve industrial and mining enterprises, they improve their own infrastructure and become industrial and mining enterprises. Enterprise service-oriented small towns, such as mining areas in Huainan and Huaibei regions.

Theoretically, the role of tourism in promoting urbanization development is mainly reflected in:

1. Tourism improves the infrastructure conditions of cities and towns and is a comprehensive integration of urbanization as a whole. level is improved. For example, in the tourism development of ancient villages in southern Anhui, in order to improve the accessibility between ancient villages and the connectivity of tourist attractions, solve the traffic problems caused by tourism development, and enhance the level of tourism, the government and relevant organizations (such as Developers, etc.) have built a large amount of infrastructure in tourist areas. The rise of tourism has brought convenient transportation and smooth communications to the residents of ancient villages. Tourism has laid the foundation for urbanization to develop to a higher level by greatly improving the infrastructure conditions of ancient villages or small towns.

2. The development of tourism provides more employment opportunities for villagers, increases their income, and improves the economic development level of tourist areas.

3. The development of tourism has improved the quality and values ??of villagers and promoted the connection with modern society. In the early stage of development, the villagers' professional skills and quality in tourism are low and they are not well qualified for this job. Therefore, the developer and the government will provide training to the villagers in the early stage of development to improve the quality of the villagers and adapt to the needs of tourism.

4. The development of tourism has brought about changes in people's lifestyles, from traditional to modern. The villagers' employment structure has transformed from the original traditional agricultural production structure to a model that combines agriculture and business.

5. The development of tourism has brought about the impact of various cultures, which has broadened farmers' horizons. The development of tourism will bring about changes in rural social and cultural life. This change is mainly caused by the long-term contact between local villagers and tourists. In order to obtain economic benefits, villagers will continue to explore and adapt to the culture of tourists, which broadens the villagers' horizons. At the same time, the villagers' understanding level also rises to a new level, laying an ideological foundation for the development of urbanization.

In fact, in addition to promoting urbanization, the development of tourism will also bring about many problems. Therefore, it is necessary to have a clear position and attitude in handling the relationship between the two.
