ABSTRACT

Recreation tourism, as a new type of tourism, has attracted much attention in recent years. Recreation tourism aims to let tourists achieve the effect of relaxation of mind and healing of body and mind through tourism activities. Senses are the basis of people's understanding of the world, so grasping the sensory experience of tourists can effectively influence tourists' behavior. The five senses landscape refers to the design of recreation tourism projects, taking into account the five senses of tourists, and designing landscapes with visual enjoyment, sound rhythm, pleasant aroma, rich taste and delicate touch. Therefore, the development of recreation tourism needs to focus on the design of recreation landscape to mobilize the five senses of tourists. How to combine the five senses of landscape and tourism projects, so as to achieve the purpose of tourists' physical and mental pleasure is also a problem explored in this paper. Based on this, this paper analyzes the development status of the five senses landscape and recreation tourism, analyzes the current development dilemma of recreation tourism, uses the five senses to expand different paths for recreation tourism, and puts forward corresponding countermeasures for recreation tourism.
