Summary
Since entering the 21st century, the market competition among tourist destinations has become more fierce. In order to maintain market competitiveness, tourist destinations face the dual pressure of developing new markets and maintaining existing markets. Because the tourist destination is relatively familiar with the existing market and can carry out marketing activities to the target market at its own preference, it will save marketing costs to maintain the existing market rather than to open up a new one. Revisiting tourists stay in the tourist destination longer than the first-time tourists, and do free publicity for the tourist destination in the form of word-of-mouth publicity. Attracting tourists to visit again is of great significance to the survival and development of tourist destinations
