Features: Tourism studies are an interdisciplinary and cross-cutting science involving multiple disciplines and fields. The interdisciplinary intersection and multi-pronged approach are both the characteristics and advantages of tourism studies, as well as a reflection of their immaturity and underdevelopment. The lack of core conceptual frameworks within the discipline is one of the major issues that urgently need to be addressed for the healthy development of the field. This book introduces the dissipative structure system theory into tourism development research and proposes the "Tourist Dissipative Structure System Development Theory," which can be considered one of the few foundational theories on tourism development in China to date. This book will play a role in promoting and advancing conceptual, theoretical, and methodological innovation in China's tourism development field. The author introduces the concept of the "Tourist Dissipative Structure System" (TDSS) and conducts an in-depth theoretical exploration of TDSS development. This includes: the non-equilibrium development theory of TDSS development; the entropy theory of TDSS development; the nonlinear synergy theory of TDSS development; the organizational theory of TDSS development; the fluctuation theory of TDSS development; and the bifurcation evolution theory of TDSS development. Finally, the author applies empirical case studies to the Nanyue Scenic Area to test the findings of the theoretical research. The book is a blend of literature and visuals, integrating theoretical research with case studies. The entire book is cohesive, with theory, models, and cases progressing step by step, forming a multi-dimensional framework where each element is indispensable, creating a comprehensive and logically sound system.
