Positive and negative impacts of tourism on the economy and environment of the Pearl River Delta (emergency)

Positive influence "China's strategy is that tourism must serve China's economy." -Published in Guangdong Tourism Magazine 1999 in June. Tourism is transnational. For the Pearl River Delta, tourism is an "invisible export", which also contributes to the local balance of payments, because the income from tourism will drive the local economy. The money spent by tourists, after continuous recycling, will have a greater impact than their initial income. The following is the importance of tourism to the economy of the Pearl River Delta. Take China and Hongkong as examples. About 360,000 people (directly or indirectly) are engaged in tourism, accounting for 12% of the employed population in China Mainland and Hongkong. Therefore, tourism can create employment opportunities. 198 The financial turmoil caused the economic recession in East Asia and Southeast Asia, but relatively speaking, the tourism revenue in the Pearl River Delta increased. Guangdong province? International tourism revenue increased by 565,438+0% (total1940 million USD), and domestic tourism revenue in Guangdong Province increased by 8.7% to 63.03 billion RMB. 2. Negative Effects From the economic point of view, China, Hongkong and Macau are too dependent on the income of tourism, which reduces their adaptability to economic changes. For example, after 1997, the number of tourists to China and Hongkong decreased greatly. 198 The financial turmoil reduced the number of people from East Asia and Southeast Asia visiting Hong Kong on the grounds that Hong Kong dollars were too high for them to afford. However, the number of people who entered the mainland of China through Hong Kong at that time was not greatly affected. 1At the end of 1997, Macao was also affected by the economic recession in East and Southeast Asia. In addition, various gangs in casinos are in power, and public security is not good. The number of tourists dropped sharply by 24%, and the income dropped sharply. With the development of tourism, the inflation in many towns in the Pearl River Delta is fierce, and the prices of many consumer goods are too high for local people to afford. In particular, the housing price, transportation fee and food price in tourist areas are higher than those in other surrounding areas, so the local people really lose more than they gain. Tourism creates too much demand, which leads to the waste of resources. Occasionally, a successful tourist season often prevents investors from building high-end hotels, but if there is an economic downturn during the period, the consequences will be terrible. For example, the hotel occupancy rate is low, and bargaining for savings leads to unsatisfactory overall income, and investors are heavily in debt. The same is true for the construction of theme parks. Too many theme parks lead to insufficient flow of people, resulting in waste of resources and no economic benefits. 3. Economic Development of the Pearl River Delta China Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center China Hong Kong Tourist Association was established in 1957. That year, about 50,000 tourists came to Hong Kong, mostly from Europe and the United States, in order to experience the flavor and charm of the East. By 1972, the number had exceeded one million, mostly from Asia. China and Hongkong have 40 years of experience in tourism. Due to the ups and downs of the tourism industry in the past 40 years, the economic recession of 1998 did not make the tourism industry in China and Hongkong retrogress. Instead, it repositions itself to attract tourists with professional business and parliamentary tourism, while at the same time posing as the entrance to South China and making itself the "event" capital of East Asia. As a result, it successfully got rid of the recession and the number of tourists returned to its previous good performance. Macao In the past 40 years, people only know that the characteristics of Macao are casinos and food. In fact, Macao's international tourism began in 1953, when the "Grand Prix" attracted thousands of tourists from all over the world to Macao. 10 years ago, Macao's tourism department decided to upgrade local tourism facilities and restore Macao's cultural atmosphere. China Mainland-Guangzhou, Zhongshan, Zhuhai and Shenzhen, the following excerpts are taken from the speech of Guangdong Vice Governor 1999 1 month at the provincial tourism work conference: "From 1978 to 1997, the total number of tourists totaled 430 million, with an average annual growth rate of/kloc-0. Tourism creation? A total of $25 billion, with an average annual growth rate of 24%. During the ten years from 1987 to 1997, the number of domestic tourists was 290 million, with an average annual increase of 16.2%. At present, the province's tourism industry has formed an industrial team of more than 300,000 people, with total fixed assets of more than 60 billion yuan, receiving 50 million overseas tourists every year, and nearly 1 100 million domestic tourists, earning more than 3 billion US dollars. 1997, the added value of tourism in Guangdong province was 30.652 billion yuan, accounting for 4.2% of the province's GDP. Practice has proved that tourism has become the fastest growing, least resource consumption, considerable return on investment, the most dynamic industry and a new growth point in China's national economy. The above examples show that leaders realize that "sustainable development" has become a trend and "returning to nature" has become a popular tourist slogan. * * * We must try our best to maintain a high-quality natural ecological environment, protect natural resources and give tourists a satisfactory travel experience. It is not easy to achieve these goals. All tourism development blueprints must be carefully considered in advance, and a legal system must be established to control and promote the effect. 2. Negative effects: Urbanization is the result of modern economic and social development. For developing countries, tourism is an effective way to promote economic and social development. Unfortunately, tourism will also have a negative impact on society, wildlife and plants: D. Noise pollution From the perspective of tourism development, the five airports in the Pearl River Delta produce a lot of noise every day. Macau's racing, large-scale construction of tourism development, hawkers selling and taxis ringing in downtown areas have become a part of the Pearl River Delta. There are other characteristics of "noise"-tourists barbecue at midnight in camps and resorts, laughing loudly around the stove, filled with smoke, and the smell of burnt meat scattered-disturbing people's dreams and killing good birds. The pollution and destruction of tourism in the Pearl River Delta to the environment is not as good as the general industrial development (that is, the kind with low technical content and high pollution). Fortunately, with the advice of education, media and environmentalists, in the past few years, people's sense of crisis began to spread and they had a positive view on environmental protection. C. the social and cultural impact of tourism on the pearl river delta 1. Positive impact II. Negative effects A. Demonstration effects bring negative effects. Tourism development will lead to consumerism. In cities where tourists come and go, local residents often follow suit because they envy tourists' clothes and want to wear the latest fashion and sunglasses. While paying a lot for imported goods, the monthly deposits of China people are also decreasing. (ii) The quality of tourism professionals. The booming tourism industry has attracted rural and mainland residents to look for jobs in coastal cities. The population of Shenzhen has soared for the above reasons. However, the quality of these tourism practitioners is very uneven. They have not received basic training, but they are also looking for quick money, which leads to the decline of the overall quality of tourism.
