What are the characteristics of tourism resources?

Tourism resources are the prerequisite for tourism development and the foundation of tourism. Tourism resources mainly include natural scenery tourism resources and cultural landscape tourism resources. Natural scenic tourism resources include mountains, canyons, forests, volcanoes, rivers, lakes, beaches, hot springs, wild animals and plants, climate, etc., which can be summarized into four categories: geomorphology, hydrology, climate, and biology. Humanistic landscape tourism resources include historical and cultural monuments, ancient buildings, ethnic customs, new achievements in modern construction, food, shopping, culture and art, and sports and entertainment, etc., which can be summarized into four categories: humanistic scenery, cultural traditions, folk customs, and sports and entertainment.

Main characteristic types

Type 1, ①Regional differentiation characteristics: Tourism resources are the most basic factor causing tourism activities. Without regional differentiation of landscapes, it would be impossible to attract tourists with different needs. Regional differentiation of tourism resources is controlled by natural geography and the laws of human social activities, and the control of the former is more direct and obvious, such as latitudinal zonal distribution characteristics caused by climate differences; longitude zonal characteristics affected by climate dryness and humidity. Distribution characteristics; vertical zonal distribution characteristics caused by changes in temperature and heat with height; concentrated distribution characteristics formed by the comprehensive action of internal and external factors. This concentration includes concentration in a large and small range, lump-like concentration, and strip-like concentration. wait.

② Scene combination characteristics include: similar combinations and comprehensive combinations in terms of types; group combinations and off-site combinations in terms of space; combinations of different scales in terms of scale, local or near-earth There are also group combinations and long-distance off-site combinations. ③ Similar appearance characteristics. Similar appearance of natural and cultural scenes brings convenience to tourists for near-field travel, but also causes some problems for the development of tourism. It is difficult to revisit similar attractions multiple times and strengthen the promotion of their characteristics. In addition, there are potential resource characteristics, seasonal variation characteristics, property variation characteristics, etc. ?

Category two, 1. Appreciation in terms of value. (Uniqueness) It is mainly used for viewing or viewing. This is the main difference between tourism resources and general resources. ?

2. Regionality in space. Regional differences are concentrated in the fact that the tourism resources in each region have different characteristics and tourist landscape charm. It determines to a large extent whether a country and region’s tourism industry is successful or not.

3. Time seasonality. (Variability) mainly refers to the best viewing season of natural landscapes affected by seasonal climate.

4. Sustainability in use. It mainly means that tourist resources are only for viewing and cannot be taken away, so they can be used by tourists for a long time. The prerequisite is good protection and management.

5. Comprehensiveness or diversity in composition. It means that tourism resources are often composed of a variety of factors.

Three categories (1) Diversity. Various factors that attract tourists are tourism resources. The needs vary widely and can be summarized as: "seeking beauty" and "seeking difference". Vertically, they are full of admiration for distant ancient ruins. Horizontally, they are fascinated by the strange environments and things in foreign places. The instinctive pursuit of beauty makes people relaxed and happy when facing the beautiful landscapes created by nature. , has a deep love for artificial creations that embody human pursuits and condense human wisdom.

(2) Monopoly - (immovability) means that the physical body of tourism resources cannot move towards tourists. It is the immobility of tourism resources that determines the temporary and off-site characteristics of tourism activities; consumers only buy images and feelings.

(3) Directionality: First, the regional nature of resource distribution. Regional differences in geographical environment - people are eager to understand the world outside their place of residence; this forms the tourist flow of tourists in a certain direction; the direction of the tourist flow is the attraction of tourism resources. Second, the same tourism resource attracts tourists regionally; it is very attractive to tourists from some countries or regions; it is not very attractive to tourists from some countries or regions; it is not attractive to others at all.

(4) Temporality (supplementary content) The temporality of tourism activities is mainly reflected in three aspects. Seasonality of time. It refers to the phenomenon that the same geographical environment changes with the seasons and some special landscapes or special experiences appear in a specific season that are suitable for tourism. Time specificity or periodicity: Tourist landscapes and things appear or occur periodically at a specific time. Traditional festivals include the Olympic Games held every four years after the Second World War; the Zhuhai Air Show every two years, and the annual carnival in European and American countries; tide watching on the Qiantang River on August 16th of the lunar calendar every year; sunrise and sunset, the times. Variability: historical sites, former residences of celebrities, abandoned mines, prisons, etc.; travel to the moon, decline of some theme parks.

(5) Combination An isolated landscape element or an independent scenic spot is difficult to attract tourists to leave their place of residence and make a special trip. It is always complex, diverse, and interconnected. The combination of various dependent elements constitutes tourism resources that are sufficient to attract tourists.
