Background of ecotourism planning

The ecological crisis is one of the "global problems" faced by modern mankind. It is essentially a crisis in the relationship between modern mankind and nature. As the main place for humans to get close to nature, tourist attractions are gradually falling into the dilemma of development and protection. Tourist attractions are human natural and cultural heritage and have important ecological, cultural and economic value. The development and utilization of tourist attractions have huge social and economic benefits. However, inappropriate development and construction and excessive interference from human activities often bring about a series of ecological and environmental problems: land degradation and desertification, forest destruction, soil erosion, environmental pollution, water resource shortages, etc. These problems threaten the ecological security of scenic spots and restrict the sustainable development of tourist attractions. Therefore, ecological planning and design of tourist areas with the help of ecological principles should become an important part of tourist area planning and design.
