Tourism
Since the beginning of time humans have traveled. Food, water, safety or acquisition of resources (trade) were the early travel motivations. But the idea of travel for pleasure or exploration soon emerged. Travel has always depended upon technology to provide the means or mode of travel(1). The earliest travelers walked or rode domesticated animals. The invention of the wheel and the sail provided new modes of transportation. Each improvement in technology increased individuals’ opportunities to travel. As roads were improved and governments stabilized, interest in travel increased for education, sightseeing, and religious purposes. Tourism is a collection of activities, services and industries that delivers a travel experience, including transportation, accommodations, eating and drinking establishments, retail shops, entertainment businesses, activity facilities and other hospitality services provided for individuals or groups traveling away from home. Mathieson and Wall (1982)(2) created a good working definition of tourism as “the temporary movement of people to destinations outside their normal places of work and residence, the activities undertaken during their stay in those destinations, and the facilities created to cater to(3) their needs.”
The Spring Festival remains a three-day public holiday. 春节还是三天假。 The remains of the meal are[is] in the refrigerator. 剩饭在冰箱里。 To pay respect to the remains of sb. 瞻仰遗容 people working far from their hometowns 远离家乡工作的人 The show was far from being a failure; it was a great success. 这个表演不仅没有失败，而且是很成功的。 He entitled the book “ Spring Days”. 他把书题名为《春天的日子》。 All employees of government agencies, enterprises and public-service institutions were entitled to take paid holidays. 政府机构、企业和事业单位的所有职工都享有带薪休假的权 利。 Every child in China is entitled to compulsory education at school. 在中国，每一个孩子都有接受义务教育的权利。

According to Macintosh and Goeldner (1986)(4) tourism is “the sum of the phenomena and relationships arising from(5) the interaction of tourists, business suppliers, host(6) governments and host communities in the process of attracting and hosting these tourists and other visitors.” Any attempt to define tourism and to describe its scope fully must consider the various groups that participate in and are affected by this industry. Their perspectives are vital to the development of a comprehensive definition. Four different perspectives of tourism can be identified: 1. The tourist. The tourist seeks various psychic and physical experiences and satisfactions. The nature of these will largely determine the destinations chosen and the activities enjoyed. (7) 2. The businesses providing tourist goods and services. Business people see tourism as an opportunity to make a profit(8) by supplying the goods and services that the tourist market demands. 3. The government of the host community or area. Politicians view tourism as a wealth factor in the economy of their jurisdictions. Their perspective is related to the incomes their citizens can earn from this business. Politicians also consider the foreign exchange receipts from international tourism as well as the tax receipts collected from tourist expenditures, either directly or indirectly.
