Abstract
Since the beginning of China’s reform and opening-up that started in 1978, Chinese people’s knowledge on tourism industry has been gradually reaching profundity. In the period of the reform, the tourism industry had been rapidly developed. Its nature had been transformed from a business structure into an industry. Its market had become stronger in an open environment and its system had been changed from a single system into a comprehensive one. Its tourism products have been diversified contrary to the simple sightseeing that existed in the beginning. In this chapter a relatively systematical analysis and summary of China’s tourism development will be made based on a large number of relevant materials.
