(arise from)While it is relatively easy to agree on technical definitions of particular categories of tourism or tourist, the wider concept is ill-defined. Firstly, it is important to recognize thattourism is just one form of recreation, along with sports activities, hobbies and pastimes, and all of these are discretionary uses of our leisure time. Tourism usually incurs expenditure, although not necessarily so; a cyclist or hiker out for a camping weekend and carrying his own food may contribute nothing to the tourism revenue of a region. Many other examples could be cited where tourism expenditure is minimal. We can say, then that tourism is one aspect of leisure usually, but not always, incurring expense on the part of the participant.Conceptually, to define tourism precisely is a difficult if not impossible task. To produce a technical definition for statistical purposes is less problematic. As long as it is clear what the data comprised, and one compares like with like, whether inter-regionally or internationally, we can leave the conceptual discussion to academics. With the development of mass tourism, perhaps the most accurate definition of a tourist is “someone who travels to see something different, and then complains when he finds things are not the same”!相对而言,特定类别的旅游或旅游者就其专门定义不难获得一致的看法,但概念广泛一些的就难下定义了。
首先应该承认,与体育活动、爱好和消遣一样,旅游只是娱乐的一种形式,都是在自由支配闲暇时间。
旅游常常涉及费用开支,当然不尽如此,一名骑自行车的人或一名长途步行者周末外出露营并自带食品,对该地区的旅游收入就没有贡献。
其他还有许多旅游开支很少的例子。
因此我们可以说,旅游是消遣的一个方面,通常但不总是引起参加者的费用开支。
就概念而论,给旅游下一个准确的定义即便是可能的也是相当困难。
为了统计目的而给旅游下一个专门的定义,其难度小一些。
我们只要弄清数据所含内容并就其区域或国际间的同类进行比较,而把概念问题交给学者们去讨论。
随着大众旅游的发展,旅游者最准确的定义也许是“一个外出旅行去看一些不一样的东西而当发现所看的东西不一样后又抱怨的人。

(integral)Tourism, as an economic activity, is characterized by a high level of elasticity. As transport costs are significant for international transportation, demand is strongly influenced by cost fluctuations. Therefore, transport is the key element in the tourism industry. The demand in international and even national transport infrastructures implies a very large number of people who want to move in an efficient, fast and inexpensive manner. It requires heavy investments and complex organization.Transport is the cause and the effect of the growth of tourism. To start with, the improved facilities have stimulated tourism, and the expansion of tourism has stimulated transport. In order to access the areas, tourists will use any transportation mode. However, air transport is the main mode for international tourism. Air transport plays a dominant role in inter-regional movements of tourists.Transport policies and decisions of governments can make a big difference in the destinations available to tourists. “Holiday spenders” usually make enough contribution to the local economy that governments are more willing to invest in efficient road networks or airport facilities, especially in locations that have limited economic opportunities other than tourism.旅游,作为一种经济活动,特点是高度的弹性(elasticity)。
