Abstract

With the development of tourism, some scenery spots stepped into the stage of decline, but some of them have been rejuvenated by exploiting new attraction and some of them can not. With the methods of comparation and image analysis by internet between the four cases, the paper analyzed the real reason why the scenic spots decline and rejuvenate. The conclusion is that the reason for destination decline and rejuvenation is market demand, not the exterior factors and interior factors of management, although some exterior factors and management problems do affect the development of the destination. This conclusion occasionally proved the psychographic theory of Plog and perfects the theory of Butler.
