The Influence of Tourism Development on People's Life

Today, China's economy is developing gradually. With the improvement of productivity, people's economic income is also increasing. After satisfying basic food and clothing, people began to pursue enjoyable consumption, such as traveling. Undeniably, tourism is one of several industries that have developed rapidly in China in recent years, and people are more and more keen on tourism, whether it is domestic tourism, domestic tourism or international tourism. While we are relaxing and enjoying the tour, our tour inevitably has different degrees of influence on the tourist destination in many aspects. The following is a description of the positive and negative effects of tourism on the environment, economy and social culture of tourist destinations.

The first is the impact of tourism on the environment of tourist destinations. In order to increase the attraction of tourist destinations to tourists, some tourist destinations will try their best to improve the local sanitary environment, and strive to create a clean environment to meet the needs of tourists and increase their attraction and competitiveness; In addition, local historical buildings, historical sites, etc. It will be maintained, repaired and trimmed, so that tourists can better appreciate the local characteristic buildings and historical and cultural heritage; We will also pay attention to the protection of natural scenery, that is, tourists can sweep away their fatigue in the embrace of nature and leave their love and sigh for beautiful natural scenery; At the same time, in order to facilitate the arrival of more tourists, the tourist destination will also develop the local transportation industry, promote the contact between the local and the outside world and the close contact within the local area, and make tourism more convenient and fast. However, not all tourist destinations can achieve the above points. As far as the current tourism situation in China is concerned, the environment of most tourist destinations has been destroyed, and its negative impact is greater than its positive impact. The arrival of tourists also means the arrival of thousands of garbage, the expansion of population exceeds the maximum limit that the environment can bear, and the environment is gradually deteriorating. This phenomenon is particularly obvious in the tourist season, such as National Day and Labor Day. We can see all kinds of reports in newspapers and various media. For example, during the Eleventh Holiday, after tourists gathered in Tiananmen Square to raise the flag and left, all kinds of rubbish were scattered on the ground, which made people stunned. Such incidents are too numerous to mention, which really makes people feel sad and sad. A large amount of garbage is one of the obvious characteristics of environmental damage. In addition, air pollution and water pollution caused by traffic should not be underestimated. In addition, some tourists even engrave the words "a tour here" on stone tablets, trees and walls, which will greatly damage the value of cultural relics and plant life. In a word, while developing tourism, many places ignore the protection of the local environment.

There is no doubt that tourism will promote economic development, which is one of the reasons for actively developing tourism. The development of tourism is that more tourists come to the local area for various consumption, such as transportation, shopping, accommodation, food, tickets for tourist attractions, local products, souvenirs, etc., which directly stimulates the economic development. Tourism in Sichuan, Yunnan and Tibet has made great contributions to economic development. The influx of tourists also provides employment opportunities for the local area, and will also promote the development of peripheral service industries such as hotels, restaurants and cinemas. In addition, tourism has made great contributions to adjusting the economic structure and promoting industrial upgrading. However, if the economic development of a region relies too much on tourism, and the local area does not pay attention to environmental protection and is not good at enhancing the attractiveness of tourist destinations while vigorously developing tourism, then the local area will gradually lose its advantage as a tourist destination and the tourism industry will gradually shrink; Moreover, during the economic downturn, the reduction in the number of tourists will also cause heavy losses to the local economy.

Tourism will have a dual impact on the environment and economy of tourist destinations, and it is no exception in social culture. In my opinion, tourism itself can also be called a culture. Tourism experience and appreciation is not only the natural scenery of a region, but also the local historical culture and modern culture. When we travel, we often learn more about local culture in the process of traveling, such as the completion time, reasons, architectural structure, related literary works and writers' understanding of historical buildings such as Yellow Crane Tower and Yueyang Tower. Understand the plants, landforms, local climate, water and soil culture in the natural landscape to improve aesthetic taste; Folk culture, such as representative festivals and their celebration methods, traditional skills, folk snacks, folk stories, famous customs, etc. Understand the lifestyle and entertainment of local people. In short, when we travel to a tourist destination, we can increase our understanding of the local food, clothing, housing and transportation, historical background, topography and so on. It will help to improve the horizons and quality of tourists. While we understand these cultures, we are actually spreading the local social culture. If the social culture of a tourist destination can make tourists like to drink nostalgic wine, then this culture has its existence value, it will be known by more people, spread to a wider place, increase its social and cultural charm and stimulate the development of tourism. At the same time, in order to attract tourists, the local area will take pains to protect its own culture. Some local cultures can also absorb some.

Compatible modern culture and other regional cultures are self-developing. So to some extent, tourism and local social culture can promote and develop each other. However, there has been a worrying phenomenon in recent years-the development of tourism has destroyed the local social culture. As we all know, tourism is actually listed as a commercial activity, so the development of tourism will bring many commercial elements into it, such as more hotels, bars, cinemas and other modern entertainment places, which may not necessarily conform to the local social culture. All these will destroy the overall feeling of local culture and reduce tourists' love for it. Folk customs are no longer simple, buildings are no longer antique, some areas with slow pace of life are disrupted, and various commercial activities are carried out. These are all regrets. Fenghuang ancient city is a very representative example. It is known by more and more people because of Shen Congwen, and people are deeply attracted by its unique culture. However, the commercial atmosphere of Fenghuang ancient city is getting stronger and stronger, and it is not as simple and moving as before, which makes people sigh and disappointed. This situation is not uncommon. Tourism will affect the local social culture to a certain extent, but it must not lose its original attraction, otherwise the tourist destination will lose its attraction.

I hope that while developing tourism, everyone will carefully plan the overall destination, strive to maximize the positive impact of tourism on the local environment, economy, social culture, and minimize the negative impact of tourism on them, so as to create a mass tourism destination with lasting charm.
