Abstract

Although cultural tourism resources are a result of man’s cultural activities over time, their formation and distribution depend largely on natural environments and such factors as history, nations and ideology. Therefore, the territorial rules of the generation, development and distribution of cultural tourism resources are also research objects of tourism earth-science workers by virtue of the principles and methods of geology and geography.
