What are the characteristics of ecotourism and how to develop ecotourism?

Ecotourism and sustainable tourism have many common features, including: 0. Minimize the impact on the environment, do not destroy the natural environment, and maintain ecological sustainability; Treat local culture with the most respect and give back to the local area with the greatest economic profit; 0. Give the participating tourists the greatest satisfaction;

0 usually appears in relatively undisturbed natural or cultural areas; Tourists should be active contributors to the protection and management of the natural environment; The goal is to establish a local management system.

Butler (1990) pointed out that ecotourism has the following characteristics: 0. Small scale;

0 is usually developed by local residents;

Watch, learn and enjoy nature and local culture in relatively unspoiled natural areas; Protect the environment and ensure the welfare of local residents; O there is proper management.

The above summary is relatively general, and the author thinks that the characteristics of ecotourism can be summarized as "five characteristics":

naturality

Refers to the primitive naturalness of tourism ecological environment and cultural environment.

It includes three aspects:

three

First, it refers to the unique natural ecological scenery and relatively sparse population in the tourist areas visited by tourists. Due to the low degree of industrialization, the ecological environment is preserved in a relatively primitive state;

Second, it refers to the culture with unique history and reality in this region, and its lifestyle and cultural model retain the pure natural and original ecological state system, which is psychologically and culturally attractive to tourists.

Because the psychological characteristics that make tourists choose to travel to a certain place are to understand, observe and experience foreign cultures different from their local cultural patterns;

Thirdly, it refers to the characteristic tourism projects and routes designed on the basis of the above two contents, which should reflect the requirements of the relative concentration of specific tourism ecological environment characteristics and the harmonious coexistence of natural geographical conditions and human conditions, so that tourists can experience psychological feelings that they have never experienced before.

(2) Protective nature

Compared with traditional tourism activities, the biggest feature of modern eco-tourism is protection.

Compared with tourism activities before the industrial revolution, tourism at that time was only an activity in which a few people participated, and tourism did not harm tourists and their environment. Therefore, it was impossible to raise the issue of protection at that time.

Compared with mass tourism activities after the industrial revolution, traditional tourism with mass participation, due to the large number of participants and fierce tourism boom, makes tourism development and tourism management in tourism become an emergency behavior without the guidance of mature theories. Driven by the economic effect of tourism, extensive development and management, tourism activities affect or even destroy the environment can be seen everywhere.

Under the influence of the theory of sustainable development, people have to realize again that if we don't pay attention to protection, tourism will consume the last bit of humanity and civilization left over from the agricultural revolution and the industrial revolution.
