Intangible Nature• Tourists hope to achieve intangible goals such as happiness,
excitement, relaxation, etc., through their travel experiences.

The Inseparability of Production andConsumption
• For example, when an airplane is in flight, the passengers are
consuming flight services at the same time; when a hotel sells a hotel
room to a guest for the night, the guest utilizes the hotel’s room
service at the same time.
7.
Differentiation• As tourists directly participate in the production and consumption of
services, their differences in tourists’ knowledge, experience,
interests and hobbies all contribute to differences in service quality
and satisfaction.

Perishability• Tourism products cannot be stored like physical products and
prepared for sale in the future.
9.
Complementarity• Tourism is made up of activities such as eating, accommodation,
travel, entertainment and touring.
• One tourism product will always be affected by the elements of other
tourism products.
• For example, when a famous hot springs tourist attraction becomes
less popular. What happens?

• Although these products are not from the same organization, they arenevertheless closely linked with each other.

Immobility of Ownership• For example, after flying on a plane, a traveller is transported from
one place to another, after which he or she acquires nothing other
than an air ticket.
