The essence and classification of tourist resources

Tourist information resources . Tourist information resources are a set of information about a particular area, object, which is given to them during the trip or in preparation for it, based on the needs of tourists.
Specialists enter information on tourist information resources on objects located on the tourist route and of historical and scientific significance. In addition, cities, villages, natural landscapes of tourist importance to them

related myths and stories, various publications, maps, photo albums, photos, audio and video products. In many cities, there are tourist information centers that provide all the information to consumers .

In general, information is the main thing for tourists today. Because the more a tourist knows about his destination, the more effective his trip will be. Of course, any tourist will try to go to as many places as possible in a certain period of time. To do this, he must of course have sufficient knowledge .
Information resources include the Internet, literary and visual publications, as well as folk ethnoses and legends. Carriers of material objects - man and creation, intangible objects - are different sources of information. Material objects in religious tourism are monks and believers, tour guides, as well as photos, maps, diagrams of religious centers and cities.
