Which six tourist areas does the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) divide the world tourism market into? What are their characteristics?

The six major tourism markets and their characteristics are as follows:

1, East Asia and Pacific Tourism Market:

East Asia and the Pacific, including Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific, have superior natural ecological environment, rich ecotourism resources, unique rivers, lakes and biological landscapes, diverse social, cultural and economic environments and colorful human landscapes. The economic diversity and complementarity of countries in the Asia-Pacific region have promoted the vigorous development of tourism, and the region has become the most potential tourist source.

2. South Asia tourism market:

Restricted by the level of economic development, the tourism industry in this area started late, developed slowly and fluctuated greatly. Here is the birthplace of civilization, Buddhism and Hinduism, with a long history and culture, few places of interest, unique customs and beautiful seaside scenery, which has formed great development potential.

3. Middle East tourism market:

Known as the "world oil treasure house", it is the birthplace of the three major religions in the world, and is extremely rich in humanities and natural tourism resources, which has formed convenient conditions for developing tourism. However, wars, conflicts and terrorist activities have affected its development.

4. European tourism market:

This area is the birthplace of modern tourism, with strong economic foundation, developed transportation and communication, colorful culture, three wonders of human landscape and European architecture attracting many tourists.

5. American tourism market:

International tourists are mainly residents of this area. The vast land, long coastline and good ecological environment have attracted many tourists. Tourism, such as ecology and exploration, has been carried out in a colorful way. .

6. African tourism market:

Restricted by economic development, the tourism industry in this area started late, with poor foundation and slow development. Its rich historical and cultural relics, fascinating natural scenery and exotic wildlife make Africa known as the "World Natural Resources Expo", and the tourism industry has great potential for development.
