The origin of tourism culture

Tourism is to leave one's usual place temporarily and stay in other places, without making a living or making a profit. This is the definition of tourism by the World Tourism Organization. The origin of human tourism began with the travel from A to B created by Thomas Cook in 1840, but the real large-scale development was after the Second World War. After World War II, western developed countries experienced a relatively sustained and stable period of development and growth. The international environment is relatively stable, the rapid development of science and technology, the increase of people's income, the change of life concept and consumption concept, the development of transportation industry, and the emergence and rise of paid vacation system have made tourism flourish. Since 1950, the world tourism industry has been growing at an annual rate of 7. 1%. 1992 the world's international and domestic tourism revenue has surpassed oil and automobiles and become the world's largest industry. The development of tourism is closely related to the degree of economic development, but specific to a certain country, tourism is affected by the level of economic development and other factors. The United States, Germany, Japan and other economically developed countries have developed tourism, while Spain and Mexico are not very developed, but the tourism industry is very developed. In 2000, Spain received 48.2 million tourists, ranking third in the world. What is the reason? This country has always placed the development of tourism in the first place in the national economy. The tourism law formulated by the government is the fundamental law that relevant industries must follow. A major incident reporting system and a tourist evaluation and complaint system have been established from top to bottom. If it is true, the tourism authorities will severely punish it, and the tourism budget expenditure and infrastructure investment are the first in the world. Perfect tourist facilities, beautiful tourist environment, beautiful natural scenery and profound cultural heritage have laid its position as a perfect whole. Mexico is a country with a very developed tourism industry. From the early 1990s, it gradually changed from centralized decision-making led by the government to decentralized decision-making. One of the effective measures is to set up a tourism promotion Committee, which is jointly funded by the national tourism department, the federal region, local governments and private tourism providers. This Council is an autonomous organization whose main function is to expand the influence of the "Mexico" brand in the tourism market. Determine tourism products and scenic spots according to market demand, ensure the quality of products and services, and also ensure the rights and efforts of operators, and actively participate in the planning, implementation and evaluation of tourism promotion activities.
