| With the rapid development of tourism,the national and local governments have placed tourism in a higher position in economic development,but the meta-concepts of tourism have been controversial by tourism business and academia,and even the boundaries of tourism are still relatively vague.In recent years,under the influence of changes in “all-for-one tourism”,“industry convergence” and “new format”,tourist-related departments such as tourism management departments,local governments,research institutions,and developers are becoming more and more confused and even lose the main tasks and objectives of tourism development.The most fundamental reason is that the basic concept of tourism are still vague,and there is no clear definition of tourism in theory.In recent years,with the rapid development of the Internet,transportation,artificial intelligence,etc.there has had a major impact on the cognition tourism and the tourism industry itself.Therefore,it is necessary to discuss the basic concept of tourism scholarship,clarifying the composition of tourism and to clarify the industrial boundary of the tourism,and we further to identify the evolutionary trends of tourism,these are one of the important tasks of tourism research.This study reorganizes several meta-concepts of tourism,such as tourism,tourists and tourism resources,etc.and then analyzes the changes of “DRAIT” and its impact on tourism,then further identify the evolutionary trend of tourism.The main conclusions are as follows:(1)Tourism is a combination of “travel” and “tour”,and both are indispensable.Only “travel” alone could not be equal to tourism,it is a space movement for other purposes;and only "tour" could not be called tourism,it is a leisure activity of local resident.And “travel” is just a space move between the tourist source and destination,and “tour” is the main business.The tourism is an industry which provide tourism products and services to tourism to get economic benefits,that based on tourism attractions or tourism attract events,tourism facilities as a condition,(2)The tourism industry mainly includes sightseeing tourism,vacation tourism,wellness tourism,cultural tourism,MICE tourism,tourism that features dining,accommodation and shopping,travel agency and travel e-commerce.The product of the integration of tourism and other industries does not belong to the tourism,we called it the tourism derivative business,such as industrial tourism,agricultural tourism,sports tourism,and tourism complex.The transportation,accommodation,catering,shopping,entertainment and other industries provide support for the tourism industry,but most of them don’t have attractive,do not belong to the tourism industry,and they are only the supporting conditions for tourism.(3)In the new period,domestic tourism demand present the characteristics of that tourism has become one of the daily leisure methods and travel motivation tends to diversify.Tourism has become a way of people’s daily leisure.Sightseeing and holiday tourism are the main purposes of tour.However,the proportion of tourists in wellness tourism,cultural tourism and MICE tourism has also increased.Independent travel has gradually become the mainstream tourism mode for domestic tourism.The changes in the understanding of tourism resources have promoted the extension of it.In this context,new tourism business are emerging,and the health and wellness value of tourism will also be used as one of the identification marks of tourism resources;Advanced technologies such as the Internet and AI are applied in tourism,promoting the innovation of tourism products,changing the mode of tourism operation,the form of tourism organization and the mode of tourism management.“Internet + tourism” has brought tourism e-commerce,changing the mode of tourism operation,and having a huge impact on travel agencies.The network coverage of transportation lines and the development of rapid transportation that changing tourism spatial pattern,promoting the rapid development of self-driving tour,turning the mode of tourism,motivated the development of tourism.(4)Driven by the changes of “DRAIT”,the tourism industry will show the following evolutionary trends: sightseeing and vacation tourism are still the main part of tourism;the traditional business of travel agencies has been compressed,and tourism e-commerce has revolutionized the form of tourism business;the wellness tourism will become hot spots;and the importance of cultural tourism is becoming more prominent. |
