What is ecotourism planning?

Eco-tourism planning is an advanced stage of tourism planning and development, which is of great significance to the development and construction of eco-tourism. Eco-tourism planning involves the relationship between eco-tourists' tourism activities and their environment. On the basis of investigation and study, according to the theory of tourism planning and the viewpoints of ecology, environmentology and ecological ethics, tourists' tourism activities and environmental characteristics are organically combined. Through the conception and arrangement of future eco-tourism development, eco-tourism activities will be rationally distributed in the spatial environment, the best contribution of eco-tourism to environmental protection and human welfare will be sought, and the sustainable and healthy development and management of eco-tourism will be maintained.

Compared with general tourism planning, its differences are mainly as follows: it emphasizes appropriate profits and returns, but most emphasizes the value of maintaining environmental resources; It does not meet all the requirements of tourists, but selectively meets them; It not only considers the scale and benefits of current tourism activities, but also points out the direction for future tourism development, leaving room. It involves the planning of the relationship between tourists' tourism activities and the environment, so it integrates tourism activities, local residents' production activities and tourism environment.
