Holistic tourism destination is a strategic concept guiding the transformation of tourism industry. Its core concept is that tourism cannot develop alone or in isolation. A tourism destination should make full and rational planning and utilization of local tourism resources, and effectively integrate with other industries, so to realize the organic integration of regional resources, industrial integration and development, and social co-construction and sharing, so that tourism will drive and promote the coordinated development of economy and society.
Holistic tourism destination refers to a new development concept or model for regions, which takes tourism as the dominant industry and promotes economic and social development with tourism. Holistic tourism destination regards a region as a whole, which is a systematic tourism with spatial panorama, and a fundamental change in the concept and mode of tourism development.
Holistic tourism destination is the development of tourism in all time, all space, all industry, all elements, all directions, and all processes.
