论旅游的“层次”和“参与性”

On Tourist “Strata” and “Participation”

“旅游层次”是一个旅游经济概念而不是旅游一般概念 ,是旅游消费而不是旅游活动本身有高低上下之分。作为旅游活动的最大宗项目 ,观光游览才是最为积极有益的“参与” ,而目前不少地区开展的所谓“参与性旅游活动”正在严重破坏旅游环境并把旅游引向媚俗和庸俗 ,因而不利于旅游业的可持续发展。

“Tourist Strata” is a tourist economic concept rather than a general tourist concept. It refers to tourist consumption rather than any difference in tourist activities. Sightseeing travel, as the largest item of tourist activities, is the most active and beneficial “participation”. However, currently so-called “participating tourist activities” in quite a lot of areas are seriously undermining tourist environment and even lead to vulgarity. Therefore, it is not conducive to the sustainable development of tourist industry.
