What is the significance of the classification of tourism types? Introduction to Tourism, Second Edition, Higher Education Press.

I have been engaged in the tourism industry for ten years and express my personal views from my point of view.

Judging from the history of China's tourism development, it has gone through three stages:

1. Official reception and official travel. Due to the restriction of economic and traffic development, the people who were able to travel frequently in early China were mainly on business trips. However, with the development of economy and the improvement of system, this type of tourism will be strictly controlled within a certain range.

Second, sightseeing. Generally speaking, it is a group tour, mainly in units. Since the beginning of 2 1 century, China's tourism industry has developed rapidly in terms of reception number and reception capacity. However, due to the large number of teams, the scenic spots, accommodation and catering in the itinerary are arranged by travel agencies, which cannot meet the individual needs of tourists. The mode of sightseeing will also support the development of tourism in China for a long time.

Third, holiday travel. This is the highest realm of tourism, and family tourism is generally the mainstay. When tourists go out to spend money, they enjoy not only high-quality and personalized service, but also respect between people and get physical and mental pleasure.

At present, China's tourism industry is in the transition period from sightseeing to holiday tourism, which also marks the continuous progress of China's economic development level and social civilization.
