What does green tourism mean?

Green is often used to describe the connotations of "environmental protection", "returning to nature" and "life", while green tourism is only a metaphor, which is used to guide the development direction of tourism in environmental management. It can be understood as a concept similar to sustainable development tourism and eco-tourism, that is to say, while providing comfortable, safe and healthy products for the society, we should make rational use of resources and protect the ecological environment with a responsible attitude towards society and the environment. The concept of sustainable development is integrated into green tourism, which runs through the idea of harmonious coexistence between man and land. Therefore, green tourism refers to the fact that tourists, hotels, scenic spot managers, travel agencies and tour guides must respect nature and protect the environment in all aspects of the whole tourism process. Green tourism is based on understanding nature, protecting nature and not destroying the natural ecological balance. It is a comprehensive embodiment of economic development, social harmony and environmental value. It requires both operators and tourists to raise their awareness of environmental protection.
