The Nature of Modern Tourism Activities

The Nature of Tourism Activities With the development of social economy, people's income level is constantly improving, and their leisure time is gradually increasing. When material needs are met, people begin to pursue higher spiritual needs. Tourism is an activity to meet people's spiritual needs, and it is a high consumption form of modern social life. ? At present, tourism theorists have different views on this issue: some people think that tourism is an economic phenomenon, while others think that tourism is a social and cultural activity. This paper holds that the attribute of tourism activity is its culture, and tourism is a comprehensive social activity based on culture. The nature of tourism activities Everything is the unity of many contradictions, and tourism activities are no exception. There are many contradictions in tourism activities, the most important of which is the contradiction between tourism demand and tourism supply. It is tourists who generate tourism demand, and tourism product operators, that is, tourism enterprises, provide tourism supply. Therefore, the contradiction between tourism demand and tourism supply is directly manifested as the contradiction between tourists and tourism product operators. As far as tourists are concerned, there are various types of tourism activities, which can be summarized as sightseeing, visiting relatives and friends, meeting, religious pilgrimage, vacation, health care, sports and adventure, study, undersea volcano and desert, various special tourism and interest tourism. However, no matter what kind of tourism activities tourists participate in, their tourism purpose is to understand the world, broaden their horizons, increase their knowledge and cultivate their sentiments.Travel can make people smarter. Therefore, tourists' activities are cultural activities. Operators of tourism products mainly refer to travel agencies, tourist transportation and passenger transport departments and tourist accommodation departments represented by tourist hotels. Together, they constitute the three main functional departments of tourism. Operators of tourism products provide tourists with transportation, accommodation, tourism and other services by organizing and arranging tourism activities, and obtain economic benefits. This determines that its operation is economic, tourism is an economic undertaking, and it is an integral part of the national economy. Dialectical materialism tells us that the nature of things depends on the main contradictions and the main aspects of contradictions within things. The main contradiction in tourism activities is the contradiction between tourists and tourism product operators, and between tourists and tourism product operators, which is the main contradiction?

1. Aesthetic. Tourism is a kind of advanced spiritual aesthetic enjoyment.

Only when tourists appreciate the inner beauty and enhance their thoughts and emotions in their tourism activities will they have unforgettable tourism activities and provide spiritual nutrition for their future lives.

2. Alienation: Tourism is a kind of tourism or visiting activity that people leave their habitual residence and go to a foreign country.

Tourism is a kind of spatial movement of human beings, and it is different from other places, that is, to go to any place other than the place of settlement to appreciate the differences between different regions. Different places not only refer to different geographical locations, but more importantly, the differences in tourism resources caused by different regions. The greater the difference, the stronger the attraction of different places.

3. Leisure: Tourists always use their spare time to travel.

Only when a person has a certain amount of leisure time can he travel. Using special time to "travel" in different places can only be regarded as a kind of tourism management, otherwise it should be stopped. Even for traveling, tourists use their free time to travel, so they are called traveling tourists.

4. Non-immigrant and non-employment

Tourism is only a short visit to a place, not a long-term residence or a local job.
