The difference between modern tourists and postmodern tourists

The difference lies in the understanding of the purpose and method of tourism.

1. Modern tourists refer to a travel style that focuses on consumption and entertainment and pursues excitement and enjoyment. This kind of tourists visit attractions in a superficial way, emphasizing going rather than arriving; they rely on various services of the commercial tourism industry during their travels to ensure that the travel process is comfortable and convenient, but they often lack real cultural experience and cognitive gains, and just enjoy Momentary excitement and entertainment.

2. Postmodern tourists pay more attention to the culture, history, society and environment behind tourism. This kind of tourists hope to learn about local culture and people's lives through travel, and to have different voices and ideas about the same destination. Tourism is an interactive and exploratory process, in which we gain cultural gains through travel rather than pursuing comfort, excitement and entertainment first.
