Tourism planning studies is a discipline that focuses on the optimal allocation, scientific planning and sustainability of tourism based on in-depth studies of its subjects, objects and media. Based on the market requirements and the characteristics of tourism resources, this discipline helps to achieve anticipated benefits in certain regional tourism systems over a certain period of time through the planning of the tourism spaces, functions, facilities and brand images of tourist destinations. Tourism planning enables us to estimate and adjust to changes, thus facilitating orderly development and enhancing socio-economic and environmental benefits.
