Why has the tourism industry in China developed so rapidly in recent years?

1, socio-economic development:

According to relevant statistics, during the 26 years from 1978 to 2004, the average economic growth rate of China was 9% and 4%, which created a huge development space for tourism-related industries. In particular, the per capita disposable income of families has increased substantially, which provides the most direct and solid guarantee for tourism consumption. With the emergence of "spare money", people have laid a material foundation for tourism consumption. With the improvement of people's living standards, people put forward new requirements for improving the quality of life.

2. Developed transportation:

China's transportation is mainly based on roads and railways, supplemented by civil aviation and water transportation. The rapid development of railways, especially the development of high-speed railways in recent years, has narrowed the geographical and psychological distance, connected remote areas with good resources and environment to the circulation of large and medium-sized cities, and is conducive to the travel of high-speed railways. High-speed rail accelerates the energy exchange between urban and rural areas and promotes two-way demand and exchange. The opening of high-speed rail makes the beautiful landscape environment and natural resources available for life and leisure in remote areas show to the world, which promotes the possibility and reality of local leisure tourism development and also promotes the development of local leisure tourism.

3. Education and culture:

The higher the education level, the higher the aesthetic taste, the stronger the thirst for knowledge, the higher the quality of life, and the higher the family salary with higher education level. In recent years, the overall education level has been continuously improved, and a large number of new generation travel enthusiasts and groups are also actively increasing their yearning for high-quality life.

4, consumer psychology:

Changes in people's consumption psychology will also lead to changes in lifestyle. With the development of social economy, education and culture, the rapid spread of modern information and the growth of urban population, people's consumption orientation is becoming more and more mature, and choosing tourism has become the choice of many families.

The six elements of traditional tourism (food, shelter, transportation, travel, shopping and entertainment) are the internal elements of tourism. Without these elements, the development of tourism is empty talk.
