5. The objective conditions of tourism demand.

A: Objectively speaking, tourism demand is the inevitable product of scientific and technological progress, productivity improvement and social and economic development. Among them, the increase of people's disposable income, the increase of leisure time and the modernization of traffic conditions are three important factors that produce tourism demand.

(1) The increase of people's disposable income is the premise of generating tourism demand.

The so-called disposable income refers to the remaining part of personal income after deducting the necessary living expenses such as personal income tax, daily food, clothing, housing and transportation and necessary social consumption expenses. Only when people have disposable income can they have the economic conditions to generate tourism demand.

(2) The increase of people's leisure time is a necessary condition to generate tourism demand.

The so-called leisure time is the time that people can freely control besides their daily work, study and life and necessary social activities. In social life, people's leisure time can be divided into four basic types: leisure time after work every day, leisure time every weekend, legal holidays and paid holidays. Tourism activities must take a certain amount of time, and it is impossible to form tourism behavior without time, so leisure time is a necessary condition for tourism activities.

(3) The modernization of transportation is an important factor to promote tourism demand.

The modernization of transportation has a direct and far-reaching impact on the generation of modern tourism demand and the development of scale. Any tourism activity is inseparable from certain traffic conditions, especially long-distance tourism and international tourism, which pays more attention to the comfort and convenience of traffic conditions.

In a word, the improvement of people's disposable income, the increase of leisure time and the modernization of transportation are the objective basis to promote the rapid expansion of modern tourism demand, and the formation of this objective basis is the result of modern social and economic development.

Usually, the main factors affecting tourism demand are:

(1) Population factor

Population is one of the most basic factors affecting tourism demand, because tourism itself is a kind of behavior of people. Therefore, the quantity, quality, distribution and composition of population have an important influence on tourism demand, thus forming different scale and structure of tourism demand.

(2) Economic factors

Economic conditions are the basis of all needs. Without a rich material foundation and good economic conditions, tourism demand cannot be generated. Therefore, the level of national economic development, people's income distribution, tourism product prices, foreign exchange rates and so on all directly and indirectly affect the scale and structure of tourism demand.
