How about eco-tourism in China?

The development status of eco-tourism in China Although the idea of harmonious coexistence between man and nature expounded by eco-tourism can be found in ancient Chinese philosophers, as a clear formulation of "eco-tourism", it is completely imported. The development of eco-tourism in China can be summarized from the theoretical research and practice in China: (1) Eco-tourism research. Although the closely related issue of tourism and environment attracted the attention of the tourism industry as early as the early 1970s, the concept of "eco-tourism" was introduced to China through foreign countries and gradually accepted. Until1September, 1993, the "First Congress of National Parks and Nature Reserves in East Asia" was held in Beijing, and the document "Outline of Action Plan of East Asian Protected Areas" was adopted, which marked the first time that the concept of ecotourism was confirmed in the form of a document in China. 1995, "The First Ecotourism Seminar in China" was held in Xishuangbanna. The conference was jointly organized by china tourism association, Eco-tourism Professional Committee and related units, and 1 18 scholars attended the seminar. The meeting discussed the definition and connotation of ecotourism; The relationship between ecotourism and natural tourism protection; How to implement environmental education in eco-tourism; The comprehensive evaluation and overall strategy of sustainable utilization of eco-tourism resources in China, such as the optimization of eco-tourism routes, were discussed, and the "China Initiative for Developing Eco-tourism" was published at the meeting, which marked China's concern about eco-tourism and the starting point of eco-tourism research. After the seminar, articles on eco-tourism research were frequently published in various journals, which made the concept of "eco-tourism" widely accepted in China. In the following ten years, a large number of documents on ecotourism research focused on the basic theoretical research of ecotourism, such as its definition, connotation interpretation, function discussion and feature description. Many experts and scholars have endowed the concept of "eco-tourism" with China characteristics according to the national conditions of China. There are dozens of definitions of "eco-tourism" in China, and some concepts and definitions have aroused widespread concern and even controversy. For a time, there were different opinions about the connotation of eco-tourism. In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to the practical study of ecotourism in China. In practical research, two hot spots have been formed, one is the study on the judgment and concern of ecotourism conditions in China, and the other is the case study on ecotourism planning in a specific region. (II) Practice of Eco-tourism China's eco-tourism is mainly developed by relying on nature reserves, forest parks and scenic spots. From 65438 to 0982, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, the first national forest park in China, was established, which organically combined tourism development with ecological environment protection. Since then, the construction of forest parks and forest eco-tourism have developed by leaps and bounds. Although the forest tourism developed at this time is not eco-tourism in the strict sense, it provides a good foundation for the development of eco-tourism. By the beginning of 1999, nearly 900 forest parks of different types and levels had been built in China. Since the establishment of the first batch of nature reserves in 1956, by the end of 1997, * * has built 932 nature reserves of various types, including 124 at the national level, and 14 officially approved to join the world biosphere reserve network. There are 5 12 scenic spots in China with a total area of 96,000 square kilometers. The theme activities of' 99 Kunming World Expo and 1999 National Tourism Administration's' 99 Eco-environmental Tourism' have greatly promoted the practice of eco-tourism in China. 1999, Chengdu, Sichuan took the world tourism day main venue as an opportunity to launch Jiuzhaigou, Huanglong, Emei Mountain, Leshan Giant Buddha and other scenic spots to develop eco-tourism products. Subsequently, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan Province held an international forest protection festival and launched eco-tourism areas such as Wulingyuan. Starting from Hunan and Sichuan, eco-tourism has gradually developed nationwide. The investigation results of 200 1 00 nature reserves at or above the provincial level in China show that 82 nature reserves have officially started tourism, and the number of protected areas with annual tourist trips 1 10,000 yuan or more has reached 12. 1, the main areas of ecotourism development practice At present, in China, the open ecotourism areas mainly include forest parks, scenic spots and nature reserves. The areas with earlier and more mature ecotourism development mainly include Shangri-La, Zhongdian, Xishuangbanna, Changbai Mountain, Lancang River Basin, Dinghushan, Zhaoqing, Guangdong and Hanas, Xinjiang. According to the types of eco-tourism, the famous eco-tourism scenic spots in China can be divided into the following nine categories: 1) Mountain eco-scenic spots, represented by five mountains, famous Buddhist mountains and famous Taoist mountains. 2) Lake ecological scenic spots are represented by Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain, Xinghu Lake in Zhaoqing and Qinghai Lake in Qinghai. 3) The forest ecological scenic spots are represented by Changbai Mountain in Jilin, Shennongjia in Hubei and Xishuangbanna in Yunnan. 4) The grassland ecological scenic spot is represented by Hulunbeier grassland in Inner Mongolia. 5) Marine ecological scenic spots are represented by mangrove coast in Beihai, Guangxi and Wenchang, Hainan. 6) Bird-watching ecological scenic spots are represented by Jiangxi Poyang Lake wintering migratory bird nature reserve and Qinghai Lake Bird Island. 7) The ice and snow eco-tourism area is represented by Yulong Snow Mountain in Lijiang, Yunnan and Changbai Mountain in Yanbian, Jilin. 8) The drifting ecological scenic spot is represented by Shennongjia, Hubei. 9) The hiking adventure ecological scenic spots are represented by Mount Everest in Tibet, Lop Nur Desert and Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon. 2.
