The difference between tourism and tourism service trade

The difference between tourism and tourism service trade lies in the different scope and market.

1, the scope is different: the scope of tourism is wider, involving the whole tourism industry, including suppliers of tourism products and services, tourist routes, planes, hotels, scenic spots, travel agencies and so on. The trade in tourism services focuses more on the services provided for foreign tourists in the tourism industry, such as tour guide services, transportation, catering and accommodation.

2. Different markets: the tourism market is mainly aimed at domestic tourists and overseas tourists, and the supply and demand mainly depends on the domestic or overseas tourism market, while the tourism service trade crosses the international market, and the suppliers and consumers are not in the same country or region, so it faces more cross-border transactions and foreign-related services.
