What is the brief history of China s tourism industry?

From the beginning of human production activities in the early days of human beings to modern global human activities, tourism has roughly experienced three development processes: ancient tourism, modern tourism and modern tourism. The migration activities of human beings - ancient travel (tourism activities in the long historical period from the end of primitive society to the beginning of the industrial revolution) - modern tourism (from the industrial revolution to the end of World War II [1945], the specific event that really marked the birth of modern travel in this period was the establishment of the world's first travel agency - Thomas Cook Travel Agency in 1845) - modern tourism (from the end of World War II to the present. In particular, since the 60s of the 20th century, social mass tourism has been rapidly popularized and spread all over the world, and the tourism methods are also extremely colorful. ）

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the development of China's tourism industry can be roughly divided into two periods.

The first period began from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the reform and opening up.

At that time, it was mainly for those foreign guests who came to China.

The China Travel and Tourism Administration was formally established in 1964.

The second period of the development of tourism in New China is the development period of getting on the right track and the revitalization of the all-round envy since the reform and opening up.

From 1978 to the mid-80s, it was a development stage dominated by inbound tourism.

From the 80s to 1997, inbound tourism and ** had a parallel development stage.

From 1997 to the present, inbound tourism, domestic tourism and outbound tourism have developed in an all-round way.

The tourism industry is known as a "smoke-free industry" and an "eternal sunrise industry". The so-called sunrise industry, its development prospects are broad and considerable, today's tourism industry has become a key development project of the country, and the scale of China's tourism market is steadily expanding. However, in comparison, the breadth and depth of China's domestic tourism development are far from meeting the needs of economic development and the improvement of people's living standards.

With the development of the market economy and the further improvement of the people's income level, the people's demand for tourism consumption is also increasing, and the status and role of domestic tourism in the national economy are particularly important. Therefore, it is of great significance to study and improve the current situation, trend and countermeasures of China's domestic tourism development.

Analysis of the current situation of China's tourism industry.

Since the reform and opening up, China's domestic tourism industry has developed rapidly and covered a wide area, but generally speaking, it is still in a situation of low consumption, popularization, low level, medium and close distance tourism. The construction of tourism infrastructure and service facilities has developed rapidly, but it still cannot meet the requirements of the development speed of the domestic tourism market.

The number of tourists has increased steadily, and the tourism consumption has gradually increased; Most of them belong to sightseeing tourism, and there are very few cultural and enjoyment types; Most of the popular areas for domestic tourism are concentrated in 4A-level or above scenic spots with developed economy, high reputation and complete tourism infrastructure. More self-guided travel and less group travel; The regional characteristics of the resort have been relatively obvious, and the resort operation in the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, Bohai Rim, West, Northeast and other regions has its own characteristics. The number of resorts in economically developed areas such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Chongqing is significantly higher than that of other regions.

This illustrates the regional character of China's tourism real estate resort market segment.
