关于旅游活动的本质,由于研究的角度不同,因而各自得出的结论也不同。从作为内核的审美与愉悦的见解,旅游本质上讲是一种审美活动,离开了审美,就说不上什么旅游。无论哪一种旅游,都是在旅游活动中寻求美的享受(如风光欣赏、休闲娱乐等),以愉悦身心,陶冶性情,增添生活的乐趣。本文从旅游审美构成、审美心理、审美文化等角度予以探讨旅游本质。 As for the nature of tourism activities, the conclusions reached by each are different because of the different perspectives of research. From the perspective of aesthetic and pleasure as the core, tourism is essentially an aesthetic activity. Without aesthetic appreciation, tourism can hardly be said. No matter what kind of tourism, are seeking beauty in the tourism activities (such as scenery, leisure and entertainment, etc.), to delight the body and mind, cultivate temperament, add to the fun of life. This paper discusses the nature of tourism from the perspective of tourism aesthetic composition, aesthetic psychology and aesthetic culture.
