This requires a development perspective to understand the concept of tourism. Because tourism in modern society is different from that of ancient literati, and it is also different from Xu Xiake's travel and scientific investigation. It is the ever-developing lifestyle of human society. On this point, some foreign scholars have similar narratives. For example, esto Lille pointed out that the nature of tourism is gradually changing, mainly in the following aspects: ① The concept of leisure tourism has changed. Before the Second World War, only wealthy, leisure and well-educated people in society traveled abroad, content to enjoy foreign scenery and artistic works. Now this concept has completely changed. Because most overseas tourists have different backgrounds, they have different ideas about traveling, and their likes and desires are varied, so try to do all this in a limited holiday. ② Modern tourism is the "democratization" of leisure pursuit. For example, winter tourism used to be a sport occupied by a few rich people; Riding, boating and shooting are unpopular sports. But the "commercialization" of hobbies and leisure makes this kind of activity available to ordinary people. Many people go abroad to participate in more exciting and exotic activities, such as mountaineering, skating, underwater swimming and horse-drawn carriage travel. ③ Modern tourism develops into "social tourism". For example, British holiday camps not only provide all the facilities of traditional tourist attractions, but also constantly open up and develop new scenic spots, organize large groups of tourists to visit, build specially designed low-consumption reception facilities, and often provide entertainment and other services on the spot. Social tourism can attract a large number of tourists to remote and relatively underdeveloped areas. These changes in nature mentioned by Turkin show that the concept of tourism is changing and developing. Tourism, a special lifestyle, is a developing lifestyle regardless of its scale, scope, content and nature.

Characteristics of tourism: it is pointed out that tourism is a temporary way of life in different places, and you can't leave your place of residence to live permanently at your destination. However, he did not say how long he could stay, nor did he put forward specific criteria for division. But this meaning has been included in the definition, so that you can distinguish the daily life where you live. Amateurism: This paper puts forward the characteristics of amateur tourism. Amateur is what scholars in many countries call leisure. This formulation, from the subjective purpose, is to abandon the business-oriented travel and investigation activities other than tourism, but the investigation for the purpose of science is a kind of tourism project at all times and all over the world. Because one of the purposes of tourism is to "seek knowledge", which includes both amateur knowledge and tourism knowledge activities within the business scope. Therefore, the amateur regulations of tourism are generally correct, but it is difficult to distinguish them in practice. Especially in China, many people take advantage of meetings and business trips. According to statistics, 4 1% of the tourists coming to Beijing are conference tourists. There are also many foreign tourists who take advantage of international conferences. For example, in 1985, there were 274 international conferences held in Paris, France, 238 in London, England, 2 19 in Brussels, Belgium and 2 12 in Geneva, Switzerland. These people who attend international conferences are not only conference attendants who go for professional purposes, but also tourists who take advantage of conferences to participate in tourism activities. It is in this way that Britain, France, Belgium and other countries have gained considerable tourism income. For example, the international conference held in Paris in 1985 earned 7 billion francs, of which 3 billion francs came from special conferences. Enjoyment: Tourism is a kind of advanced spiritual enjoyment and a kind of pursuit desire after the material living conditions are basically met. A sociologist said that tourists' psychology has three elements: "seeking novelty, seeking knowledge and seeking pleasure". This is the psychological essence of tourists. Tourists come thousands of miles just to appreciate the new scenery and life in different places and gain knowledge and happiness that are hard to get in different places. Knowledge: Tourism brings us a lot of knowledge, enhances our understanding of various places and enriches our humanistic knowledge. This is the true meaning of tourism! Self-willedness: Travel will bring you spiritual will, and make your thinking and mood develop to the extreme of excitement and happiness. Leisure: The high-speed life and work frequency make people feel more and more stressed, so we need to relax on some holidays and enjoy the sunshine, beach, sea, blue sky and white clouds in coastal cities. Recently, a new cost-effective hotel system, represented by Motel Hotel Chain Group, has emerged in China, catering to ordinary travelers and covering large and medium-sized cities and scenic spots in China.
