As the development of TV, network, and other communication media, the world become smaller and has been called global village. Thus people from place to place find it easier to know each other as well as the places they lived through the screen reflected by electrical or digital signals. Does that mean the tourism industry would be vanished? Obviously not.
Tourism originated from remote past beyond symbols of characters may emerge for the purpose of living. As our ancestor traveled on foot to hunt or fish, they need to move from one place to another where there provide them safe places to sleep and sufficient food. As time passed, they developed tools and ways of agriculture as well as architecture which prevent them from danger and hunger. With these skills they were not forced on tour for living anymore. However, they felt like having fun on journey as physical needs were satisfied. And this kind of tourism has the same meaning of today, that is , to travel for entertainment. From then on, tourism spread and continued until today.
Through the Industry Revolution and the later information exploration, TVs and networks quickly penetrate every corner of the world, both political institutions and common communities, developed countries and developing ones. With these corresponding nets, people today can enjoy the dulcet scenes or key points of interest without going there personally. Meanwhile, they can experience these beauties and elegances only by eye contacting. Thus it is suspicious that these eye-contact experiences can really attract people and hold them back from going there. In fact, the essential of traveling is just the very experience that people can hold at the very moment with family or friends and that would be remembered for a long time. At the same time, tourism provides tourists with ethical meals that are offered exclusively in the travel sites, together with the great atmosphere contributed by lots of delighted mood. Moreover, people would relax themselves and take exercises to build bodies stronger. In short, who on earth would rather to look at pictures on screens instead of take a taste of the enjoyment? I suppose no one.
Actually, the popularization of TV sets and networks accelerates tourism industry development by providing ads, introductions, travel agencies information, flights services and so on. Without diminishing, the tourism flourish as more and more people would rather to choose travel as a way of entertainment for that they can afford the costs, and for that the views are destroyed day by day.
