Characteristics of rural tourism products

Characteristics of rural tourism products

1. Distinctive rural characteristics

The so-called rural characteristics refer to all natural and human elements that people can perceive and experience in rural areas and are obviously different from those in cities (as stated above).

the rapid development of rural tourism is precisely because of the many differences and uniqueness between rural tourism products and urban tourism products, resulting in tourism demand. These differences between urban and rural areas include geographical differences, historical differences and cultural differences. The urban and rural areas are like two poles of magnets, and there is energy that attracts each other. The radiation point of this energy is the "rural characteristics". This strong and permanent energy attracts urban people to enter the countryside, rural people to enter the city, and the population in the two regions interacts with each other in two directions.

this characteristic of rural tourism products determines that not all villages can develop rural tourism, and villages with unclear "rural characteristics" cannot rely on artificial landscapes to develop rural tourism. Only those villages with relatively prominent and obvious natural or humanistic characteristics have the basic conditions for developing rural tourism products.

2. Low threshold for investment and consumption

Rural tourism products should objectively and truly reflect the true nature of the natural rural world, emphasizing returning to nature. Therefore, from the perspective of tourism investment, rural tourism products do not need and cannot invest heavily in building and cultivating artificial landscapes.

3. Abundance of product items and product lines

The product lines of rural tourism are large in length and width, rich in rural tourism products, and there are great differences among product lines, integrating sightseeing, holiday tourism, experience-participating tourism, recreation and leisure tourism and health care tourism, which can meet the needs of various tourists in a larger scale.
