Pioneering health tourism
China is a country rich in tourism traditions. The history of civilization for thousands of years has produced a large number of famous tourists such as Confucius, Lu You, Zheng He and Xu Xiake.
As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius said: “The wise man Leshan, the benevolent water.”
(The Analects.
雍 也)) The beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland, at that time, have welcomed countless people to travel, to explore and to visit.
Today, in the 21st century, the spring breeze of reform and opening up has spurred the mountains and rivers of the motherland, and a new tourist boom has emerged across the country.
The trend of aging society and the continuous improvement of people’s living standards have led more and more elderly people to join the ranks of tourism.
With the development of silver tourism, accompanied by the rise of health tourism.
Silver-haired tourists maintain their health in tourism, travel for health, and regulate their mentality through travel.
The emergence of health tourism is a reflection of the improvement of the quality of life of the elderly in old age, an important measure to promote healthy aging, and a sign of the development of tourism industry. It will definitely write a new chapter for China’s tourism history.
(1) Health tourism is a major feature of Yinfa tourism. After the comprehensive arrival of the well-off society, the tourism fever has been popular in China.
According to statistics from relevant departments, in 2004, the number of national tourists has reached 1.1 billion, and the consumption spent on tourism has reached 620 billion US dollars, an increase of 32% over the previous year. This shows the degree of tourism fever.
Some people say that today is a tourist era, and it is not without reason.
Yinfa Tourism is a large army in the tourism market. She sprouted after the reform and opening up and developed in the 1990s.
Entering the new century is booming.
Health tourism is a major feature of silver tourism, and it is also the inevitable result of the vigorous development of silver tourism.
At the beginning of the tour, the tour was mainly for sightseeing, sightseeing and entertainment.
After a certain degree of development, the tourism market has begun to be refined, showing a trend of individualization and specialization.
Perhaps young people are long-term knowledge and long-term body, so they focus on seeking tourism, adventure tourism and entertainment tourism; while middle-aged people have a successful career, but work hard, so they are optimistic about leisure tourism or holiday tourism;Psychological characteristics are advocating for health tourism.
So, what is health tourism?
How does it relate to tourism health?
We know that the use of tourism to regulate mentality, relieve depression and strengthen the body, known as tourism health.
Tourism health is guided by the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. According to the principle of yin and yang, the tourism is divided into six categories: mobile travel, quiet travel, angry travel, Siyou, sad travel, and insurance. The health tourism is one of the tourism activities.It selects attractions for health purposes, arranges content and progress, and considers a tourist activity that is fast-paced.
Therefore, tourism health is suitable for people of all ages, while health tourism is suitable for a tourist activity involving middle-aged and elderly people.
If you are climbing a cliff, exploring the adventures of the Range Rover, the dangerous tour is suitable for young adults and those with higher physical strength. Then, the physical exercise and the soothing mentality are suitable for middle-aged and elderly people.
When people reach old age and retreat from their jobs, their social responsibilities and family responsibilities are relatively reduced, and their lives are also spent on raising their days and celebrating their later years.
The desire for knowledge has gradually faded, and the holiday tour has nothing to say.
Instead, the physical strength is not good, the inevitable decline, the disease is gradually entangled.
Therefore, the elderly are more concerned about their health and longevity at this time.
There is a saying that the popularity among the elderly is very broad. It is said that credit is the leader, money is the child and grandchild, and only the body is its own.
The mood of the elderly to pay attention to health and longevity can be seen.
According to the “Reader Questionnaire” of the National Association of Senior Citizens, the most popular among the old newspapers is the health version and the health version.
Many travel agencies have taken a fancy to these business opportunities and have launched the slogan of “health tourism”, which is precisely adapted to the needs of the elderly in society.
From the perspective of operators, how to position themselves in the increasingly competitive tourism market to win a space is a big issue for their survival and development.
The Yinfa tourism market is vast, business opportunities are unlimited, health tourism resources are abundant, and the future is bright.
Therefore, many people have focused their attention on health tourism. Therefore, attractions and attractions have begun to vigorously explore the resources of health tourism, set up suitable leisure tourism projects for the elderly, and hang out the “classical tourist attractions of the elderly”, “the elderly recuperateBase” and other brands.
Some travel agencies also organize health talks, health exchanges, and even organize longevity towns to explore activities when organizing senior travel.
Conditional travel agencies also spend huge sums of money to open up elderly care facilities in scenic spots to reduce costs and attract tourists.
There are also some cadre nursing homes, which also put down the shelves, not only accepting cadres, but also opening the door to the majority of retired workers, and starting a leisure and leisure tour for retired workers. Because of its clear objects, rich activities, reasonable prices and considerate services, health tourism has been welcomed by the majority of middle-aged and old-age tourists.
The majority of elderly tourists “care for the health of the tourism, travel for health”, is gradually becoming a fashion move for the elderly, thus making health tourism a major feature of silver tourism.
(2) Why do you say that tourism can maintain health?
Health, with the interpretation of “Xue Yuan”, is generally understood to nurse the individual’s clothing, food and shelter, in order to achieve the purpose of health and longevity.
But in fact, the meaning of Chinese health education is almost related to the field of culture, including everything that optimizes the human living environment and the quality of human life.
There are many ways to maintain health. It is difficult to achieve health care by relying on certain aspects of nursery.
What kind of health can fully achieve the purpose of health?
We believe that the best way to maintain health is to travel too much.
This is because the body of the people outside the tourism can also bring you spiritual pleasure.
We may wish to verify the relationship between tourism and health from the four aspects of rest, exercise, treatment and education.
1.
Travel is a pleasant break.
The health of science is inseparable from the combination of work and rest. It is difficult for people who do not pay attention to rest to climb the peak of longevity.
A philosopher said well: “Mountaining is full of mountains, and the sea is full of emotions.” It makes people feel comfortable and relaxed, and it is a perfect rest.
The ancients also had a long-term understanding of “tourism is a good rest.”
In the Ming Dynasty, Tu Long once wrote a book called “You County Yabian”. The book not only detailed the shackles, hats, gourds, medicine baskets, carrying boxes, furnaces, etc., but also some travel time.How to enjoy nature and how to play well on the way to travel is also described in detail.
For example, how to adapt to competition during tourism, how to fish on the boat, and enjoy the fun of paddling the lake.
Occasionally a good sentence, life pen in Ye Hao, throwing air fluttering in the wind, or floating in the middle, still water ups and downs, so elegant, really literary feelings!
Imagine traveling in such an environment, the body naturally blends with the heavens and the earth, the mood is released, the evil thoughts are nothing, and the tiredness is swept away, which is of course beneficial to the body.
Shanghai’s famous old Chinese medicine practitioners, who have now entered the age of 耄耋, have a lot of research on health.
After he retired 20 years ago, he was still re-employed by the hospital to work as an expert clinic. He worked 5-6 days a week, but he would go out for a few days and relax himself during the holidays.
Some people are worried about his body. He said: “Travel is also a kind of rest for me, a kind of health,” and a reasonable rest is the source of love and the guarantee of health.
Lu You is the birthday star of the ancients. His longevity is related to his love of tourism.
“I am 80 years old and still healthy and healthy because I also like to travel.”
Just a few words, said that the other party convinced orally, nodded.
2.
Travel is the best activity.
Tourism cannot be separated from “moving”, and “moving” naturally consumes physical strength.
However, life lies in sports, and the “movement” of tourism is endless.
The bright breeze of the moon is free to change, and the green mountains and green waters are the most popular.
In the early morning, Taiji is walking in the sun and the moon is in the spring.
Ancient Chinese health education has long regarded exercise as a magic weapon for health.
“Lu’s Spring and Autumn?
Do a few articles “Cloud: “The water is not rotted, the household is not sacred, and the movement is also.
The shape is also the same, the shape does not move, the flow does not flow, the essence does not flow, the qi is depressed.
“The qi is full of illnesses.”
Modern medicine also believes that: regular exercise can make blood and blood reconcile, smooth and smooth, compact and good, good body, strong body, flexible joints, mental pleasure, quick thinking, enhance resistance, reduce the incidence of disease, delay the process of aging, promote healthlongevity.
The movement of tourism.
It is the best activity for the whole body exercise that is used with both hands and feet.
Especially for the elderly, through the tourism activities, breathing the fresh air of nature, increasing the amount of exercise, consuming too much nutrients and excessive aunts, can greatly improve sleep, increase appetite, and make the body enter a virtuous circle. Shanghai famous Chinese medicine expert, this year, 84-year-old Yan Dexin, after retirement, used tourism as the best way to maintain health.
He told the story: “The reason that drives me is because life is in motion.
Travel is the best way to move your life.
Every time I return, I am a little tired, but my spirit is very happy.
The famous architect, the 92-year-old Zhang Kaiji, a traveler, said well: “A trip is a sport.
Even if you don’t correct or don’t think that travel is good for your body, in fact, while you traveled once, you also experienced a process of exercise and health.
3.
Travel can cure diseases.
Beautiful nature itself is a god doctor who treats human body diseases.
French writer Moroa believes that the best way to free melancholy and sadness is to travel.
He believes: “The most extensive and benevolent refuge is nature, forests and mountains.
The vastness of the sea is great, and under our personal narrow contrast, we calm down our spiritual wounds.
“To be healthy and long-lived, and not to prematurely age, you need to have two basic conditions.
One is physical health, the organs are not damaged; the second is spiritual pleasure and emotional comfort.
Lu You “sees Wushan to see Lushan”, so that the body is in constant movement, the five internal organs, six internal organs, skin, blood and other physical functions in the process of visiting the mountains and rivers have been well-healed, making it a birthday star in the ancients.
In addition, while visiting the mountains and rivers, the mountains, flowing water, waterfalls, pines, flowers, birds and birds – all give people a beautiful enjoyment. This harmonious music chapter makes people fall into the trouble of the city, quiet and not silent, its angryThe unpredictable natural scene makes people’s interest multiply and enjoys the worry, thus achieving the effect of healing.
Bai Juyi, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, was not very good at the time of his body. He may also have various diseases, but he likes to visit famous places to cultivate his temperament.
He has a poem cloud: “Zhan Zhan Yuquan color, long floating clouds, leisurely to the water, quiet and clean, hands-on bamboo cane, wearing a white ray towel.
Go down the mountain and know who I am.
“Kao Bai Ju Yi enjoys more than 70 years of age, which at the time was indeed a high life.”
Obviously, the high life of Bai Juyi and his love of tourism are inseparable.
Tianjin writer Li Wei was diagnosed as “diffuse lymphoblastic lymphosarcoma” after the year of the armor. After multiple treatments, the curative effect was minimal.
In desperation, Li Weimeng had once again witnessed the desire of the hometown of Wuxi and Taihu in the hometown of Jiangnan.
So he lived in the Wuxi Taihu cadre sanatorium.
During this period, he placed the disease of life and death outside, and he was completely immersed in the natural scenery on the shore of Taihu Lake.
He walks 10-20 miles a day on the shores of the beautiful Taihu Lake, and practice Tai Chi at the lake, and also reads and writes.
After five times of Taihu Lake recuperation, Li Wei’s condition eased, and later miraculously settled more than 10 spring and autumn, far exceeding the effect of drug treatment.
After an expert examination, it was discovered that Li Wei had immunity to this cancer.
There are many places of interest in China, and the lakes and lakes where you can treat diseases, forest parks, etc. are numerous.
Rich in negative ions and fresh air, it is called a natural oxygen bar, which is conducive to the recovery of various hypertension and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular patients.
The “sand therapy” in the Turpan Basin is also a unique health care tourism project with significant effects on various types of rheumatoid arthritis, chronic low back pain, sciatica, vasculitis and other diseases.
Spa therapy is well known, and it has a direct and significant effect on human skin diseases, and its effect even exceeds drug treatment.
Foreign countries such as Romania’s Tekiki Kirkol Lake’s “mud treatment” is also a famous tourism health care project, where it receives thousands of tourists from all over the world every year. Therefore, many natural tourism sites have various sanatoriums.Because tourism can cure diseases and cultivate people’s temperament.
4.
Tourism is a positive puzzle activity.
Health care is in the heart, and the meaning of the heart is very extensive, and there are many ways.
Active, accumulating knowledge, edifying sentiment, and healthy body are an important part of health.
At present, it is a country with a history of 5,000 years of civilization. When it comes to tourism, various historical and historical episodes, inscriptions on the inscriptions, Buddhist scriptures, antiques of antiques and folk customs of various places can be seen from time to time.
The ancients said: travel thousands of miles, read thousands of books.
Tourism is a living dictionary. When we are watching the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, we have also gained a lot of knowledge about the human history and ethnic customs of various places.This knowledge has become a cultural heritage, and it has always remained in our hearts. It is worthwhile to remember and play with us from time to time.
Sun Guoting, a 96-year-old man from Xiamen, Fujian Province, has a long history of tobacco and alcohol. He is known as “Contemporary Xu Xiake, now Guo Linggong”. At the age of 90, he also traveled to Belgium, the Netherlands and other eight European countries.
After returning, he was still trying to finish it, and he selected 100 photos of the photos taken along the way to be exhibited at Xiamen University.
He believes that tourism is “adding new knowledge to existing knowledge,” and that exhibition photography is to make this knowledge “to be able to spread” to “puzzle people.”
In early 2004, he went to the Philippines with the tour group.
In the domestic attractions, the elderly have gone even more: the Silk Road looks like a bonfire, and the Three Mountains and Five Mountains are only idle.
Huangshan alone, he went five times.
Wenhuasha, a famous scholar of literature and history, is the fifth time this year. When he goes out, he always forgets to bring a few things: books, notebooks and pens. The book is all his way, and the notebook records his journey.The knowledge and feelings.
Some people say: “Wen Lao’s travels are full of emotions, and it can make people add too much knowledge after watching.”
This is true.
Therefore, tourism is the spring of the spring, the summer of summer, the fall of the fall, the winter of leisure.
Tourism is a profound way of health and well-being, which is worthy of our understanding and taste.
(3) How to carry out health tourism Since health tourism has become a major feature of silver tourism, how to carry out health tourism?
Start with the following three points: 1.
Improve awareness of health tourism.
Tourism is an activity that cultivates sentiment, opens up the horizon, and is beneficial to health and well-being.
This has long been recognized by most people.
However, there are also some elderly people who believe that tourism is “seeking the mountains and playing with water”, which makes it unnecessary to spend money. The rankings will not be worth the benefits, and even arbitrarily believe that tourism is “to spend money to buy crimes”.
This person even occasionally travels once and is also absent-minded about the cultural landscape introduced by the tour guide.
There is a 65-year-old old man named Li who has traveled once, but he said that the trip was “forced” by his children and grandchildren.
The same is climbing. He said that he only saw some mixed trees, stone, gully, wormwood, and returned to the hotel. Only one word is “tired”. Where can he talk about health?
The other 78-year-old Chen surnamed the old man is not the same. He has been picking up the ranks all over the place: there are wild fruits, drinking sweet springs, dripping waterfalls, clearing waterfalls, distinguishing birds and flowers, playing with strange stones, and visiting the temple gates., visit the mountain people Tian Fu, Xingzhizhi, mouth and mouth.
Resounding the ancient feelings, sighing the power of creation, both riding the Qing and Deng Fengfeng, and looking at Lin Mao in the rain, the soul is so cozy, full of childlike innocence.
The old man is very excited and thinks: “I have enjoyed the wild fun that I can’t enjoy in the city for 80 days in the 8 days of traveling.
I usually attach great importance to health care. I think this is a real solemnity, a kind of health that integrates itself into nature.
I plan to go to Guilin again next month, I think, spend a little money for this kind of health, value!
“Under the two, it is very different.
The former does not know that there is endless fun in tourism, and it is even more difficult to know that it is possible to keep alive by traveling. I only know that I am closing myself in the fighting room and sending out gold-like time.
The other one believes that tourism can even make him enjoy the scenery of different places, get the knowledge and joy that are not easy to get, and more importantly: tourism is a kind of health care that combines “body” and “heart”.
For a long time, for various reasons, we have not valued the health care position of health tourism. It is a pity that the transformation of modern medical models has changed. We have also begun to understand this principle and began to pay attention to the development of health tourism. This is also the development of tourism.The inevitable trend.
If the elderly can walk into nature and embrace nature, they will surely achieve better health effects.
2.
Continuous development of new routes for health tourism continues to develop new routes for health tourism, which is an important shift in the prosperity of tourism and attracting health enthusiasts.
Tourism For sub-health or elderly patients with chronic diseases, not one of the attractions can pass the role of “all-in-one disease”, but can choose some scenic spots to maintain health.
According to research by relevant experts, going to the seaside to travel can make people feel refreshed and sorrowful, and have certain therapeutic effects on patients with neurasthenia, anemia, migraine and other diseases.
The plateau area is rich in light and the climate is highly dry. It is an ideal alternative to health tourism for patients with rheumatoid arthritis and asthma.
In the high mountain areas such as Qiandao Lake, the air pollution situation is relatively large, and the number of negative ions is large, and tourists with diseases such as diabetes and allergic rhinitis can be the best choice.
It can be seen that the continuous development of new routes for health tourism is beneficial to both the tourism industry and the treatment of patients with chronic diseases.
According to the report, it is inevitable that some new attractions for health tourism at home and abroad are being continuously developed.
For example, France has developed a bath room, a saltwater swimming pool, a sea floor shower, a micro-bubble bathhouse, a seawater steam massage room, a sea mud treatment or a fresh algae treatment project.Some famous scenic spots in the south have also developed new projects such as mud therapy, spa, tea therapy, physiotherapy, electrotherapy, magnetic therapy, acupuncture and massage.
Some of China’s attractions have also developed hot spring baths, cold spring baths, forest therapy, air therapy, daylight therapy, and fragrant flower therapy.
For example, Qiandao Lake in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, has built a forest rehabilitation hospital-Qiandao Lake Forest Rehabilitation Hospital. This hospital is located in the Qiansuo Lake Scenic Area of Qiandao Lake, which is a civilization of the Yangtze River and the Jiangnan Waterfall. It uses its beautiful forest environment.To adjust the patient’s emotions, the main treatment method is to let the patient be in the picturesque forest, and under the guidance of the doctor, walk along the winding path, gazebo, mountaineering, bird watching and other activities, so that the rehabilitation patientRejuvenate in a relaxed and peaceful nature and gradually return to health.
Dalian Waterfront in northern China also has a coastal rehabilitation institution, Baiyun Mountain Villa, where patients can combine Qigong guidance to maintain health in a vast coastal environment.
The “health hospital”, which uses beautiful natural scenery, has also been built in Lushan, and these are welcomed by the health care providers.
The development of new routes for health tourism should also take into account the characteristics of old age, that is, trying to avoid places that are unsafe or unhealthy, such as the so-called dangerous tour that may lead to panic.
An anger that can make people feel unfair, can make people feel sad and so on.
Of course, if you can get a few attractions, the hospital combination is best.
3.
Do a good job in tourism health care.
Old-age travel enthusiasts are a special group of people who travel for health and health in tourism. However, due to their older age and relatively weaker resistance, they should also take appropriate health care measures when they go out.Let them go happy and return home.
Old people should have adequate sleep and rest during their journey. Once they feel physically weak, they can take a break or stop the day’s travel.
When you are on a long-term walking tour, you should sit down at any time.
The elderly with weak stomach and easy to be acclimatized should be light in diet. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, eat less greasy, spicy and cold food, and try to drink less or not.
Old people with chronic diseases go on a trip, especially those with coronary heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high blood pressure, etc., in addition to taking good spare drugs, they should also tell their peers about their illnesses, and the armor cares for each other.
In addition, the elderly’s body temperature regulation function is poor, and it is easy to catch cold, so the clothes should be carried with feet, and the armor can be increased or decreased at any time.
You should also bring some common medicines.
Such as cold medicine, anti-inflammatory drugs, seasickness (car) spirit, cooling medicine, etc., once repeated, can be taken at any time.
As the operator of the tourism industry, it is more important to implement the “safety first” and “prevention-oriented” guidelines. For team travel, consider choosing a group doctor.
For emergency needs; when carrying out mountaineering, rafting and other tourism projects, it is necessary to pre-plan a thorough safety protection plan; for some scenic spots, we must do a good job of railing reinforcement, anti-skid and anti-fall, and do a good job of “walking without watching the scenery, watching the scenery without walking.”Propaganda; for the reception of tourists’ cars, cruise ships or other facilities, it is necessary to carry out regular maintenance and maintenance, and to carry out safe and good operation; for those who have rafting projects, there must be someone responsible, safety management, etc.Reduce the incidence of accidents to a minimum, so that the elderly can have fun during the trip, the satisfaction of the tour, and the peace of mind to achieve the purpose of health.
The people take food for the day, and the people enjoy the tour.
In essence, tourism is a prosperous life after the country is rich and strong, and after living and working in peace, health tourism is a fashionable choice for the elderly to pursue spiritual enjoyment.
We must correctly understand the relationship between health care and tourism, and actively carry out health tourism, so that the elderly in their old age are full of sunshine and full of joy!
