In the changing times, the essence of tourism is undergoing a profound transformation. In the past, we used to leave photos on our travels, mostly group photos of various famous scenic spots, or standard poses, which are evocative, but the background of the trip is always the same. But nowadays, the "check-in" of tourism is no longer limited to "landmarks", but more about experience. This experience can be a local specialty, an exploration of an off-the-beaten-path destination, or simply a unique meal.
Tourism was once seen as a symbol of luxury. However, with the change of times and the improvement of people's living standards, travel has changed from a luxury to an ordinary way of life. In the past, travel options were limited and most people could only choose crowded attractions, but now, with the improvement of transportation conditions and the upgrading of tourism services, people have more opportunities to choose, and more people are starting to focus on niche destinations and pursue a different travel experience.
The change in tourism consumption is not only in terms of quantity, but more importantly, in terms of demand. With the development of social economy and the change of people's consumption concept, people's demand for tourism has shifted from simple material enjoyment to spiritual pursuit. Tourism is no longer just about going to a certain place, but more about experiencing the local culture and customs, and feeling the humanistic charm of different regions.
In my opinion, this change is positive because it allows us to learn more about the diversity of the world and also allows us to cherish and experience the beauty of life more. Tourism is not only a kind of consumption, but also a kind of spiritual practice, and a kind of self-pursuit. Hopefully, we can find more fun and inspiration in our travels, and make travel an indispensable part of our lives.
