In today's society, with the improvement of living standards and the increase of leisure time, tourism has become an indispensable part of national life. However, in the experience sharing of many travelers, "tiredness" seems to have become a lingering feeling of Chinese people during their journeys. So, why does the way Chinese people travel generally leave people with the impression of "particularly tired"?This involves multi-faceted social psychology, cultural perceptions, and practical factors.
First of all, from the perspective of psychological expectations and actual behavior patterns, many Chinese people tend to include as many scenic spots as possible in their itinerary when planning their travel itinerary, in order to achieve "visiting places of interest and historic sites" in a limited time. This kind of "check-in tourism" pursues the number of scenic spots rather than in-depth experience, which makes tourists frequently travel between various scenic spots in a short period of time, physically and mentally exhausted. This phenomenon is exacerbated by the mentality of "if you don't punch in, you come for nothing", and people often have to complete the scheduled itinerary despite exhaustion, for fear of missing any "must-go place".
Secondly, the impact of social networking cannot be ignored. In the era of the prevalence of the circle of friends, many people are greatly affected by the ** and evaluation shared by others when choosing a tourist destination and planning a trip, and they are keen to chase popular attractions and use them as a proof or show off capital of their own experience. The resulting rush of travel makes travel a task of satisfying social needs rather than simply enjoying the journey itself.
In addition, the domestic public holidays are concentrated and short, so that most office workers can only use the first week or a small long holiday to travel, which limits the choice of travel time and rhythm to a certain extent, resulting in the phenomenon of traveling together. Dense and congested traffic not only increases the level of fatigue during the journey, but also reduces the quality and comfort of the trip.
In addition, the misunderstanding of tourism concept is also an important reason. Some people think that only a hectic and compact itinerary can show the value of travel, and thus ignore the purpose of travel – to relax, gain knowledge and enjoy life. The excessively compressed itinerary makes the rest time seriously squeezed, and it is difficult to achieve the effect of leisure and relaxation.
To sum up, the reason why Chinese people are generally tired of tourism is the result of the interweaving of many factors, including the cognitive bias of tourism value, the comparative pressure in the social environment, the characteristics of the holiday system and the traditional "horse and flower" tourism habits. To change this situation, we need to advocate a more rational, healthy and quality-oriented tourism concept, encourage in-depth travel and experience tourism, and let tourism truly return to the essence of pleasure and physical and mental pleasure.
