tourists tend to be: discovery tourism, exploration and resort tourism For resort tourism, the selected locations are high-class resorts with health care services and recreational activities For those who love to explore, they will find scenic spots that still retain the wild features bestowed by nature It will be tropical forests, bays, or ethnic minority areas, large mountains By separating into
