what is rural tourism written by bernal de lane makes a comprehensive discussion and analysis on the origin, definition, development and future trend of rural tourism. The following are some important points in the book:

bernal de Ryan divides rural tourism into traditional rural tourism and Modern Rural Tourism. Traditional rural tourism mainly refers to those forms of tourism that appeared after the industrial revolution and were participated by urban residents from rural areas in the form of "returning to their hometown" for vacation. This kind of tourism exists widely in all countries of the world, even in developed and developing countries. In China, this traditional rural tourism is often classified as visiting relatives.

However, modern rural tourism is the focus of bernal de Lane. He emphasized that the essence of modern rural tourism is not just the journey of "returning to hometown", but a new model and mechanism to promote rural social and economic development through tourism activities. Bernal de Lane believes that the emergence and development of modern rural tourism benefits from three aspects: economic globalization and internationalization, the concept of sustainable development and the new model of agricultural and rural development.

In the book, bernal de Lane also analyzes the origin and development of modern rural tourism in detail. He pointed out that the rise of modern rural tourism can be traced back to Europe and North America in the 196s and 197s, when the rural social economy in these areas began to decline, and farmers and rural communities faced serious economic and social problems. In order to find new development opportunities, governments and communities in some areas have begun to explore and promote the development of rural tourism, hoping to promote the transformation and upgrading of rural economy through the development of tourism.

bernal de Ryan believes that the core of modern rural tourism lies in making full use of the characteristics and resources of rural areas, including natural landscapes, cultural heritage and agricultural activities, so as to attract urban residents to experience and participate. This form of tourism can not only bring economic benefits to rural areas, but also promote cultural exchanges and development in rural society.

At the same time, bernal de Lane also pointed out the important trends and challenges in the development of modern rural tourism. He believes that the future development of rural tourism will pay more attention to environmental protection and sustainable development, and promote the all-round development and progress of rural society. At the same time, the development of rural tourism will also face a series of challenges, including market positioning, service quality, community participation and other issues.
