What impact do natural disasters have on the tourism environment?

1. Conflict between tourism and environmental protection

Since it is feasible to carry out tourism in protected areas, the influx of a large number of tourists will inevitably lead to environmental pollution and damage.< /p>

That is, the contradiction between tourism and environmental protection is inevitable, which is mainly manifested in the following three aspects:

1. The overloaded activities of tourists and various behaviors that are detrimental to social ethics have caused damage to the protected area. For example, excessive tourists

polluted the three wastes, demolished trees and damaged flowers, hunted animals, etc., all of which have reduced the quality of the ecological environment. Wudalianchi Natural Reserve in Heilongjiang Province has seen a huge increase in visitors in recent years. Some people took bonsai stones and smashed the lava at will, causing some areas on the platform to become hundreds.

Thousands of holes.

2. Building hotels and other service facilities in a protected area will inevitably destroy some surrounding scenery due to the large project size and large area. Building a road in a protected area requires a lot of earth and stone, and will also destroy the vegetation on both sides of the road. Moreover, once the road is opened, the winding wild path

will turn into a busy city scene with vehicles, and the sightseeing and viewing environment will be lost. . At present, this phenomenon has already appeared on the northern slope of the Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve. Hotels and parking lots are being built in the Yue Ye Valley, and large areas of Yue Ye forest have been cut down; ice rinks are being built to

< p> During the construction of Tianwen Peak Highway, large areas of tundra landscape were destroyed, resulting in soil erosion in some areas.

3. For protected area managers, how to coordinate the relationship between tourism and environmental protection is indeed a difficult problem to deal with.

It is necessary to protect the environment and nature while also being open to tourists. The policy itself is likely to make managers confused.

Once handled improperly, it often leads to disastrous consequences. A particularly obvious example is the Jiuzhaigou Nature Reserve in Sichuan. This national key protected area is known as the "Mythical World" and "Wonderland on Earth". After it was opened to tourism, tourists flocked to it, and the protection< /p>

The area lacks scientific management, and environmental pollution is becoming increasingly serious. Coupled with excessive deforestation, soil erosion has worsened, and mudslides have accelerated.

The crystal clear lakes have begun to silt up. This is a lesson that other protected areas should learn from.

2. How to carry out tourism in nature reserves

How to carry out tourism in nature reserves involves various issues. First, we should have a clear understanding of the particularity of tourism in protected areas

On this basis, we should determine the correct development strategy and finally take necessary measures. Only in this way can we ensure the healthy and steady development of tourism in nature reserves.

1. Fully understand the particularity of tourism in protected areas. This is a prerequisite for tourism in protected areas. As a protected area operating tourism

business, it is neither a primitive restricted area nor a lively entertainment venue, but a place that can display natural and historical features

providing people with appropriate tourism The natural environment of the project. This is the fundamental difference from ordinary protected areas and ordinary tourist areas. It is necessary

to widely publicize the particularity of tourism in protected areas through various channels and ways, and to improve the awareness level of management personnel, factories and mining enterprises and the general public

. On this basis, we should correctly handle the relationship between nature protection and Qianzhan tourism, the relationship between ecological benefits and social benefits,

economic benefits, and the relationship between long-term interests and current interests. As mentioned above, the primary function of nature reserves is scientific research. Therefore, various natural resources and natural environment must be protected. At the same time, resources and environment are the basis for the survival and development of the tourism industry< /p>

The basis of development is that protecting resources and the environment means protecting tourism, and destroying resources and the environment means destroying tourism. Both theory and practice show that

the relationship between conservation and tourism can only be based on protection, tourism is subordinate to protection, ecological benefits are the main priority, and social benefits

, Economic benefits are subordinate to ecological benefits, long-term interests are the main priority, and current interests are subordinate to long-term interests. If this is the case, then the better the nature protection work is carried out, the higher the status of the protected area will be, the greater its attraction to tourists, and the economic benefits it will bring.

The higher the social benefit. Then the economic benefits will be fed back to the construction of the protected area, so that the protected area can embark on a virtuous cycle of protection

-development-value-added-protection.

2. Find out the characteristics of tourism resources and formulate correct development strategies. This is the main policy of tourism in protected areas. Characteristics are

the basis of tourism. Only unique protected areas have vitality and competitiveness, and can attract more tourists. For example, after many years of investigation and research, the author summarized the tourism resource characteristics of Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve, namely: ① world-class nature reserve; ② magical volcanic landscape tour Resort; ③The birthplace of the Manchu people and the holy mountain in the eyes of the Korean people.

In view of the

characteristics of Changbai Mountain's tourism resources, the author believes that the strategy for tourism development in Changbai Mountain should be: based on protection, focusing on ecological benefits, and developing rationally, beneficially, and

in a measured manner. Tourism resources, focusing on the characteristics of wild mountains, magical mountains and sacred mountains, its strategic goal is to build Changbai Mountain into a world-famous volcanic scenery reserve.

3. Take necessary measures. This is an effective way to develop tourism in protected areas.

① Carry out functional division of labor. Comprehensive planning should be carried out based on the specific conditions of the protected area and on the basis of full investigation and research.

It is particularly important to do a good job in functional zoning. For example, the Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve can be divided into core areas and buffer areas. and test area.

The core area is an absolutely protected area of ??the entire reserve. Except for patrols and regular resource surveys, no other activities are allowed

in order to maintain the natural state and store species. , the buffer zone is the transition zone between the core area and the test area. Its main function is to protect the core area from being destroyed. The experimental area is an area within the protected area that comprehensively utilizes natural resources. Scientific inspections, research and experiments, as well as teaching practices can be carried out in the experimental area. Areas can also be demarcated in conjunction with natural scenery to carry out activities that do not affect natural protection. Visit

Tourist activities.

② Improve the environmental protection mechanism. To carry out tourism in protected areas, three environmental protection mechanisms should be established and improved as soon as possible:

Administrative and legislative mechanisms. It includes a series of restrictive regulations for units and individuals traveling to protected areas, such as personnel quotas, bans and sanctions, etc. The United States is a country that developed nature conservation earlier and has more mature experience. At the entrance of some nature reserves, a very eye-catching placard is often erected: "Enter, only leave footprints; come out." , only photos are allowed to be taken away.

" It is worth learning from.

Economic planning mechanism. Divided according to time scale, including short-term, medium-term and long-term planning, it supplements the administrative and legislative mechanism.

Using economic planning as a means to carry out macro-control of the development scale and speed of tourism in protected areas.

Economic accounting and paid use mechanism of tourism development. That is to compensate for the losses caused by the use of natural resources for tourism.

Currently, most protected areas in the country sell tickets, and the prices are on the high side, causing a lot of dissatisfaction among tourists. The solution is that

protection area operators and managers should use their labor, knowledge and skills to provide services to consumers to meet their needs.

If it can be a certain A large number of tourists are equipped with a tour guide and environmental protection staff, which can be said to kill several birds with one stone.

③Treat civil construction with caution. If engineering projects such as building bridges, building roads, building hotels, and building cableways are feasible in general tourist areas, then they should be treated differently in nature reserves and must be exercised with caution. Don't frequently build large buildings and halls in the core areas of the protected area. Then, the roads and trails are as dense as spider webs, so the protected area becomes a modern bustling city. Wait until the scenic city is established.

Once completed, the life of the scenery will be over. The issue of building a ropeway should attract the attention of the management department of the protected area.

To build a cableway, you must first build a road. To build a road, you must first cut down trees and blast mountains. Therefore, building a cableway to lead to a cable car will cause extremely serious damage to natural resources and the environment. Therefore, foreign countries such as Yellowstone Park in the United States, The construction of ropeways is never allowed in the Grand Canyon.

④ Strengthen scientific management. How to improve the management level of protected area operators is one of the key factors for the success or failure of protected area tourism.

In terms of business philosophy, the current "extensive management" practice should be changed and win with a beautiful natural environment and high-quality services

If necessary, the number of tourists can be appropriately limited to facilitate the protection of resources and the environment. For example, the Ecuadorian government strictly limits the number of tourists to the Colon Islands (also known as the Galapagos Islands) to 25,000 people per year. p>The number of daily visitors shall not exceed 90. In terms of management, the protected area can manage the tourism industry with nearby townships and towns, so that everyone can take responsibility and benefit everyone, and tourism and environmental protection can go hand in hand. The selection of tourism projects should be based on knowledge-based tourism, with signs at some scenic spots to introduce the content of the scenic spots and teach scientific knowledge to tourists. The protected area must be developed in a linear manner, and tourists are strictly prohibited from running around. One-day tours are mainly carried out to reduce the damage caused by tourists to natural resources and the environment.

In short, as long as the nature reserve management department implements scientific and strict management in the practical process of tourism development,

Coupled with the close cooperation of other departments and the majority of tourists, I believe that our country will There will definitely be a new situation in tourism in nature reserves.
