1. Concept and classification of tourism geological resources
(1) concept of tourism geological resources
Tourism geology is a new branch of geological science, and it is also a marginal subject between tourism science and geological science, but strictly speaking, it belongs to geological science. The development, construction and protection of tourism resources are closely related to geological science, which lays the foundation for the establishment of tourism geology.
Tourism geology takes tourism geological resources as the main research object, and its research scope roughly includes the following aspects. (1) Standard geological sections and fossil producing areas, such as stratigraphic sections with regional, regional and international geological correlation significance and important and precious fossil producing areas, that is, those geological sections with contact, standard or typical significance in regional geological comparison, or some biostratigraphic zones with good exposure and preservation, as well as sections with important geological significance, important fossil producing areas, ancient human fossils and ancient human living sites, etc. (two) rocks, geological structures, minerals and other places of origin with special protection value, specifically regional or international rock places of origin, mineral places with historical and economic value and geological structure points with regional typical significance. (3) We can observe the typical areas of modern geological processes and modeling landforms, as well as the famous scenic landforms with geological significance, including karst, landslide, glacier and its relics, landslide, debris flow, cave, spring waterfall, canyon, embankment, mountain peak, loess, lava, volcano, crater, Tianchi and other volcanic landforms, and natural wonders such as stone forest and soil forest. (four) mineral springs, hot springs, gold, precious stones, building stones and other geological phenomena with special economic, medical, popular science and educational values, as well as ancient mining and smelting sites. (5) Other landscapes of geology, nature, historical sites and humanistic historical sites include various natural landscapes formed by natural actions, such as mountains, rivers, lakes, coasts, islands, deserts and grasslands, as well as humanistic landscapes such as ancient buildings and historical sites, such as ancient cities, palaces, temples, gardens, tombs, castles, ancient pagodas, ancient scientific and artistic products and buildings, ancient academies, grottoes and so on.
Tourist geological resources: During the long evolution of the earth, the fossils, rock masses, structural features, mineral deposits, landforms and other scenery preserved in the rock strata have ornamental, scientific research and educational value, and attracted some tourists. This is tourism resources. Tourism resources can be divided into: typical geological structures and landforms (such as Qingshui Cliff on the east coast of Taiwan Province Province), typical standard stratigraphic sections (such as Mesoproterozoic stratigraphic sections in Jixian County, Tianjin), exotic rock minerals (such as Taihu Stone), paleontological fossils (such as Miocene fossils from Shanwang in Linqu, Shandong Province), volcanic relics (such as Tengchong volcano in Yunnan Province), earthquake relics (such as Tangshan earthquake relics) and ancient human culture. The landscape formed by external dynamic geological processes such as ancient glaciers, ancient rivers, ancient lakes, ancient sea cliffs and ancient sea sand dikes is called external tourism resources.
The position and function of tourism geological resources in tourism development
As we all know, there is no doubt about the scientific value and use value of geological resources. However, when judging the value of a tourism resource, its natural scenery may be a more important evaluation criterion. From the point of view of tourism consumption mentality, ordinary tourists have high requirements for product value, which cannot explain that pure science and use value have absolute charm. Therefore, how to reflect the value of geological resources in tourism products is naturally an important topic.
But it is extremely difficult to judge the value, because the appraisers have different identities. They may be scientists, geologists or ordinary tourists. Because they have their own positions, their values are naturally different. This result is likely to lead to the value of geological resources can not be reflected in tourism products, thus forming its "value uncertainty." This uncertainty is actually a difficult problem how to consider the importance of tourism products in the development and design.
Therefore, if the scientific nature and use value of tourism products are overemphasized in the development and design, it is likely that only some people will be satisfied and a larger tourist market will be lost, which will inevitably become the fatal wound of tourism products. After all, the proportion of scientists or geologists among tourists is low, and overemphasizing scientific value naturally does not conform to the principles and reality of tourism product development.
Therefore, how to solve the problem of "value uncertainty" is a key problem that can not be ignored in highlighting geological resources in tourism development. From a scientific point of view, the value of geological resources is easy to highlight, but it may also be restricted by some factors, making it difficult to show its important position in tourism products. Therefore, when a tourist resource with geological resources as the main resource wants to become a successful scenic spot, it is extremely important and urgent to solve the problem of "uncertainty of value" first. The solution of the problem is helpful to deal with the dilemma and position of geological resources in the development and design of tourism products, thus truly enriching the substantive content of tourism products and enhancing the competitive strength of the market.
Third, how to make full use of all kinds of tourism resources.
If tourism resources occupy an important position in tourism products, how to make full use of them effectively is naturally beneficial to the development of tourism products.
3. 1: Effective use of resources
From the perspective of developing tourism resources, due to the diversification of current market demand, it is difficult for a successful scenic spot to achieve economic benefits by developing only one resource. Therefore, the diversification of products naturally becomes the basic principle of development.
Taking Sanqingshan Mountain as an example, as a scenic spot, it has both the diversity characteristics of natural resources and the support of cultural resources. Rich in tourism resources, it has scientific value and market value, which provides very good conditions for the development and design of tourism products. However, the granite resources in Sanqingshan may also have the problem of "value uncertainty", which must be handled carefully in order to maximize the limited resources.
We assume that there is not much problem with the resources of Sanqingshan at present. If the existing resources are directly converted into products, it is very likely that the products will lack diversity and lose the market. Therefore, it is still necessary to give full play to the utility of resources to enrich the content of tourism products, which is an important work for the development of tourism in Sanqingshan Scenic Area at present.
The resources referred to here are the tourism resources of the whole Sanqingshan environment, not just the concept of resources around granite resources. We should base ourselves on all natural ecological and cultural resources related to granite, including animals, plants, minerals, geology, rivers, water resources, air, meteorology, climate, religion and culture. , develop and design tourism products. After the above resources are fully utilized, it will certainly create the diversity of tourism products and meet the various needs of the market. That is to say, after enriching the content of tourism products, it will also create a larger tourism market and open up a broader road for the development of tourism.
3.2. The necessity of expanding the utilization of resources
In terms of conditions and technology, the effective utilization and protection of resources is necessary for any tourism development, and the mining of resources is a necessary means to enrich the content of tourism products, with the aim of preventing products from being too simplistic and losing their charm. Therefore, the development, utilization and exploitation of resources other than the main resources are issues that must be paid attention to.
Of course, it is also a feasible way to expand the utilization of resources to make up for the defects of "value uncertainty" of resources and alleviate the negative effects brought about by its uncertainty in development. So this is also one of the main factors to consider when adopting this method.
To a certain extent, the effective utilization and development of resources can not only meet the development of tourism and meet the market demand, but also take this opportunity to better protect the overall environment, coordinate the overall environment when forming products, and play a greater role in improving the connotation and quality of tourism products.
The full use of resources is to give full play to the use value of resources, enhance the competitiveness of products and consumers' selectivity to tourism products. However, the conclusion is that the market opportunities brought by the diversity of products may expand the market scale and play a greater role in tourism development, which is the necessity of effective use of resources in tourism development.
