旅游业与服务业的分界——论旅游业的独立地位

The Watershed between Travel Industry and Servic e Industryon the Independent Position of Travel Industry

旅游学界普遍地将旅游业归属于服务业的论断存在着重大的理论缺陷。实际上 ,旅游业与服务业在概念种类、资源依托、产品形成、满足对象、功能作用等方面均有根本而巨大的差异。因此 ,旅游业不应因为卷入了大量的服务性行业而被视为服务业的组成部分 。

The commonly supported assertion th at travel industry is a part of service industry is the one with major defect in t he both of theory and practice. Through study on several kinds of the relationsh ips between the concept of tourism and that of service industry, between tourism resources and tourist products, between travel services and served object, betw een the functional influences and the industrial position. Some fundamental stan dards decisive for distinguishing travel industry from service industry are here raised in order to justify that travel industry should not be attributed to eac h of other industries including service industry and should be considered as a r ising and independent industrial category.
