Various natural, humanistic objects or other factors used to carry out tourism activities can be called tourism resources.

2. Classification: 1. Causes.

It refers to the basic reasons and processes for the formation of tourism resources.

For example, humanistic tourism resources are formed by man-made reasons; natural tourism resources exist in nature and are formed by natural reasons.

2. Attributes.

Attributes refer to the characteristics and characteristics of objects, including status, actions, relationships, etc.

The attributes of tourism resources refer to the nature, characteristics, existence form, status, etc. of tourism resources.

For example, historical monuments, ancient buildings, mausoleums, gardens, religious culture, towns, social customs, literature and art, etc. in humanistic tourism resources can be divided into different categories because of their different attributes.

3. Function.

The so-called function of tourism resources refers to the role and performance of tourism resources that can meet the needs of tourism activities, such as sightseeing functions, leisure functions, vacation functions, etc.

Some tourism resources can meet the needs of carrying out various tourism activities and therefore have multiple tourism functions.

According to the different functions of tourism resources, tourism resources can be divided into different categories, such as sightseeing, health care, shopping, participation and other tourism resources.

4. Time.

Tourism resources can be divided into different categories according to the time when they were formed.

For example, architectural tourism resources can be divided into ancient buildings and modern buildings according to the time of their formation.

5. Others.

Depending on the purpose and requirements of classification, there can also be other different classification basis such as development and utilization status, management level, tourism resource quality, etc.

6. The "Classification, Investigation and Evaluation of Tourism Resources" promulgated by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine in 2003 A. divided into 8 main categories based on differences in the nature of tourism resources.

They are the main category of geological landscape, the main category of water scenery, the main category of biological landscape, the main category of celestial phenomena and climate landscape, the main category of ruins and relics, the main category of buildings and facilities, the main category of tourism commodities, and the main category of humanistic activities.

B2. Based on the nature, form, functional characteristics, cultural connotation, etc. of tourism resources, 31 subcategories and 155 categories are further divided.

For example, the geography and landscape category can be divided into five subcategories: comprehensive natural tourist destinations, sedimentation and structure, geological and geomorphological process traces, natural change relics, and islands and reefs.

The geological and geomorphological process trace subcategories can be divided into convex peaks, single peaks, peak clusters, stone (soil) forests, strange and pictographic rocks, rock walls and rock crevices, canyon sections, ravines, Danxia, ??Yadan, and piles.

There are 14 basic types such as stone caves.

3. Features 1.

Comprehensiveness The comprehensiveness of tourism resources is first reflected in the fact that tourism resources are mostly a complex composed of different elements.

For example, mountainous landscapes are composed of towering mountains, woodlands, clouds, and mist; canyon landscapes are composed of valleys, rivers, and woodlands; some meteorological and celestial landscapes are the result of the simultaneous action of multiple factors, such as rainbows, sunsets,

Buddha's light, etc., are the result of the interaction between sunlight and a certain quality of the atmosphere.

Since these landscape formation factors are relatively uncertain, attention should be paid to the satisfaction of the conditions for different factors in their development and utilization.

Humanistic tourism resources also have comprehensive characteristics.

For example, ancient villages, as a kind of tourism resource, are formed by the simultaneous action of a variety of material or non-material factors.

In summary, it can be called ecological, physical, cultural and modal elements.

Ecological factors refer to factors that affect the relationship between villages and the environment, such as Feng Shui, landforms, hydrological conditions, etc.; physical factors refer to the buildings and structure systems of villages, such as archways, dwellings, ancestral halls, etc.; cultural factors refer to the elements that form ancient villages.

Cultural, artistic and ideological content, such as plaques, paintings, sculptures, etc.; modal elements refer to all aspects of village social life.

The above four aspects are indispensable in the formation of the overall landscape of the ancient village. The destruction of one aspect may lead to the destruction of the entire landscape.

The comprehensiveness of tourism resources is also reflected in the development of tourism resources.

Since the development of a single resource often has limited appeal to tourists, in practice, different types of tourism resources are often combined and developed simultaneously to form complementary advantages.

For example, although the West Lake Scenic Area is mainly composed of lakes, it also includes a series of resource types such as hills, woodlands, ancient buildings, and ancient bridges.

Although these resource types are different, they should all be subject to a consistent theme in development, and the resource types should be coordinated and unified.

Comprehensiveness requires that both the development and protection of tourism resources should have a holistic perspective and look at problems in a connected way.
