Features: This textbook emphasizes both theoretical knowledge and practical application, aligning to a certain extent with the National Tour Guide Examination. It focuses on the analysis of tourism resources and incorporates comparisons between Chinese and foreign cultures based on the actual needs of tour guiding work. To prepare students for self-development in their future careers and adapt to the inevitable changes in the tourism industry as they age, the textbook also considers the requirements of other job roles in the tourism sector, enriching the relevant knowledge. Although titled China Tourism Geography, this textbook provides extensive descriptions and analyses of China's tourism resources and industry status. Considering that tourism geography courses are often not offered to non-geography majors, it also includes certain content from Tourism Geography, such as studies on tourist geography, tourism impacts, tourism carrying capacity, and tourism planning and development. The textbook appends the currently designated batches of China's National Key Scenic Areas and Historical and Cultural Cities at the end, reorganized by administrative divisions, which helps readers understand the general overview of major tourism resources in China by region. Therefore, this textbook will be beneficial for students in tourism schools, those aspiring to work in the tourism industry, and professionals already working in tourism who wish to enhance their professional skills.
