The basic purpose of eco-tourism

Promoting the sustainable development of eco-tourism destination economy and society is an important purpose of developing eco-tourism, which is embodied in two levels: individual residents' level and the overall social, economic and cultural level of tourism destination. Residents of tourist destinations are the main components of the social culture of tourist destinations and have the right to maintain their own good development. Therefore, to develop ecotourism, local residents must directly participate in management and service. Economically, this kind of participation makes them get rich economic returns and can effectively promote the economic development of tourist destinations; From the social point of view, the development and penetration of tourism in the local area has broadened the horizons of local residents, improved their quality, and can integrate into modern civilization more quickly; From the environmental point of view, the maintenance and influence of local residents on the natural environment is more direct than that of tourists. In a word, the development of eco-tourism makes it possible for local residents to protect resources scientifically, economically and technically. Generally speaking, the healthy development of eco-tourism is conducive to promoting the sustained growth of tourism economy and injecting new development funds into local economy; In environmental protection, we can give financial support to the protection and management of the natural environment, and improve the environmental protection awareness of tourism managers, tourists and local residents; Promoting the fair distribution of social interests is conducive to increasing the employment opportunities of residents, which will effectively promote the all-round progress and coordinated development of society, economy and culture in eco-tourism destinations.
