What is ecotourism? What is its development status?

The main types of modern tourist vehicles are boats, planes, trains and buses. Eco-tourists are the product of tourists' enhanced ecological awareness, the main body of eco-tourism activities and the key factor for the formation and development of eco-tourism. Therefore, the definition of eco-tourists is very important.

Ecotourism is a way to realize sustainable development. Eco-tourism is a way to realize the principle of sustainable development-to provide tourists with a positive experience, at the same time, it is economically reliable, environmentally suitable and socially and culturally acceptable. Without a positive experience, tourists will not come again. Without economic reliability, no one will provide the facilities and services that tourists need, and the potential economic benefits brought by eco-tourism to providers and local people will not be realized; If the environment is not maintained, it will destroy the foundation on which ecotourism depends; If it is culturally unacceptable, it will be difficult to get the support of local people, and they will even be hostile to tourism and boycott it. People still lack scientific understanding of the relationship between tourism and environment, and the concept of "smoke-free tourism" is still popular. Most of the development of eco-tourism is still in the primary stage, emphasizing essential tourism and the development of tourism resources while ignoring the damage of tourism itself to the environment and resources. In fact, the development of tourism in China has brought harm to the environment.

The concrete manifestations are: extensive development and blind utilization of tourism resources. In the development of tourism resources, the relevant government departments in many areas lack in-depth investigation and comprehensive scientific demonstration, evaluation and planning, so they are eager to develop. Especially in the development of new tourist areas, developers are eager for quick success and instant benefit, and blindly and extensively explore and develop in the absence of necessary argumentation and overall planning. Please protect them. Many valuable non-renewable tourism resources have been destroyed and wasted. For example, Jiuzhaigou, which is known as the "fairy tale world", is now reduced by 6-30 cm per year due to large-scale deforestation in the upper reaches and surrounding areas, but Huanglong was degraded at the beginning of the boundary. If no protective measures are taken, the karst lakes here will die prematurely. What is even more puzzling is that the relevant departments have built a large number of hotels in Jiuzhaigou in order to attract a large number of tourists.
