What is the definition of tourism?

Tourism activities refer to activities that people leave the usual environment and stay in a place for no more than 1 year, with the purpose of leisure and business.

As a social behavior, tourism has existed since ancient times. China is one of the ancient civilizations in the world, and the rise of travel activities is also in the forefront of the world. China existed as early as the 22nd century BC. At that time, the most typical traveler was probably Dayu, who traveled all over the country in order to dredge the eighteen rivers in Jiujiang.

Then came Laozi and Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Lao Tzu preached and rode the green ox west. Confucius gave lectures and traveled around the world. During the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions as far away as Persia and now Iran and Syria. In the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzang learned the scriptures and went to India. In the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He made seven voyages to the West and reached the East African coast as far as possible. The great traveler Xu Xiake made a travel note.

More and more people are not satisfied with traveling at home and extend their destinations abroad. Travel insurance has become a part of the journey, especially for friends who travel abroad. Travel insurance should follow the principle of "avoiding the heavy and neglecting the light", that is to say, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the tourist area, time and itinerary, choose the most favorable insurance type and choose the insurance company to insure.
