What challenges does China's tourism face?

1. Tourism also has the problems of "high consumption, high emission and high pollution", and it is an industry that is highly dependent on fossil fuels and other energy sources.

2. Blind exploitation and over-exploitation cause ecological imbalance and environmental magnetic damage, which leads to the decrease of biodiversity.

3. The culture of tourist destination is threatened. The excessive development of tourism will also bring threats and impacts to the traditional culture of tourist destinations, for example, the commercialization of traditional customs makes them distorted and unsustainable.

4. Tourism garbage is rampant, which is very harmful. Tourism waste mainly comes from tourists, tourism service enterprises, biological metabolism, construction projects, office and so on.

5. GDP-oriented performance appraisal mechanism is difficult to change in the short term, which makes local officials often limited to short-term behavior and short-term interests.

6. Weak government supervision and imperfect social supervision mechanism.

7. The environmental compensation mechanism needs to be improved. At present, China has not really formed an interregional eco-environmental compensation mechanism covering the whole country, which makes the interests of ecologically fragile or resource-rich areas lose for a long time.

8. At present, the awareness of green tourism consumption and green tourism development in China is not strong, although new terms, concepts or concepts such as green economy, green tourism and green consumption have been put forward for some time.
