1.1 Research Background
China is a vast land rich in tourist resources and ranks high in the world in terms of its spectacular natural wonders and mysterious cultural relics. With China’s entry into the WTO and the increasing globalization, inbound tourism will be more and more important in economic development and cultural exchanges. One thing can safely be said of tourism in China in the future: it will attract more and more foreign tourists to explore its long history, rich culture, and exotic custom. Tourism is an intangible product which customers are obliged to purchase without having the opportunity to inspect it, and often from a base of inadequate knowledge. In this circumstance, the tour guide materials become the principal means of both informing them about the product and persuading them to purchase it. Thus, in order to promote China’s tourism and to attract foreign visitors, the quality of tour guide material translation is quite important.
