旅游作为社会发展阶段的一个重要指标的思考

Thought on Tourism as An Important Standard of a Higher Stage of Society Development

社会发展的更高阶段是以追求生存质量为特征，以闲暇时间的充裕为衡量尺度的。从本质上讲，旅游正是一种高质量的生存方式，它以自由时间为基础，通过广泛的自由交往来体验人的生存意义和价值，它体现为一种新的世界文化。所以，它应该成为社会发展阶段的一个重要指标。在衡量标准上，可以从群体参与规模、旅游者的发生频率、消费对旅游的依赖程度等方面来把握。需要注意的是，在衡量中要严格区分旅游学与旅游经营学对相似指标的不同理解。
