The theme of geological tourism resources research

First, the main links of geological tourism resources.

(A) the basic research methods of geological tourism resources

Geo-tourism studies the characteristics, development and protection of geological tourism resources from the needs of geological resources, environment and tourism development, combining the concept of tourism with the research methods of geology, humanities and social sciences and natural (geological) sciences, thus providing a basis for the identification, evaluation, planning, development and protection of geological resources as tourism resources (Liang Mingzhu, 2007).

With the development of interdisciplinary research between natural science and humanities, as well as the development of modern geological science and technology and modern geological tourism, the research methods of geological tourism have been developed. The research methods of geotourism comprehensively use the investigation and research methods of geological science and humanities such as description, induction, deduction and analogy. Sampling survey method; Econometric model method; The application of system theory, information theory, cybernetics, dissipative structure theory, catastrophe theory and synergy theory; New technologies and methods such as computer application technology, remote sensing technology, global positioning system, geographic information system and multimedia technology.

(B) the resources and environment of geological tourism resources

The study of geological tourism resources and resources and environment is a comprehensive research method of geological resources, geological environment, tourism resources and tourism environment; That is, the comprehensive application of geological research methods, tourism research methods and environmental science research methods. Generally speaking, geological resources mainly emphasize its materiality, and materiality is often one of the main components of geological environment (Xi Yueting and Wei Fengqun, 2006). Geological environment is a complex network system composed of lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere. Humans and other organisms depend on the geological environment for survival and development, and constantly change the chemical composition and structural characteristics of the geological environment. Therefore, it is often difficult to completely separate geological resources from geological environment. When studying geological tourism resources, we combine geological tourism with environment to study geological tourism resources and environment.

(C) Geological tourism resources and environment research methods

There are many research methods of geological tourism resources and environment. According to the characteristics of geological tourism resources, this paper discusses several main research methods of geological tourism resources and environment.

The utilization of tourism resources in geo-tourism is the core of geo-tourism, and it is also the core issue of geo-tourism resources development and environmental protection. This paper mainly discusses the methods of using geological tourism resources, focusing on the whole process of using geological tourism resources.

The development and utilization of geological tourism resources usually need the following processes: investigation and evaluation of geological tourism landscape (type, quantity, distribution and landscape value evaluation), determination of development direction and functional orientation; Geological background analysis and environmental impact assessment of geological tourism landscape: tourism market investigation and market demand forecast; Investigation of tourist areas (including tourism environment, tourism competition pattern, tourism development stage, development direction, development status and existing problems); Research and development of geo-tourism products (in-depth exploration of scientific significance, possible utilization methods, creativity and design); Coordination of various tourism products in tourist areas; Promotion and marketing of products.

Starting from the key issues of the development and protection of geological tourism resources, the development process of geological tourism resources can be summarized into eight main links. Among them, the eighth link is a very fragile place in the eco-geological environment and needs to be implemented in depth.

1. Study on Geological Resources and Environmental Conditions

Geological resources and environmental conditions are the basis of developing geological tourism resources, and also the background conditions of geological tourism resources and environmental research.

The study of geological resources and environment should include the general study of geological resources and environment. Mainly includes: geological structure environment; Strata, rocks, structural types and geological units; Geological evolution characteristics and neotectonic movement; Paleontological fossils and minerals; Water resources; Geomorphology and geological landscape; Geological environment, natural geographical environment and climate; In addition, it should also include the "soft" environment such as humanistic society related to geological resources and environment.

2. Study on geological tourism resources

The study of geological tourism resources is based on the development and utilization of geological resources. Its main purpose is to investigate the basic composition and types of geological tourism resources in this area, so as to establish its tourism function and evaluate it.

The research contents of geological tourism resources mainly include: the classification of geological tourism resources; Landscape zoning of geological tourism resources; Determine the characteristics of geological tourism resources; Determination of geological tourism landscape series; Evaluation of geological tourism resources.

3. Study on environmental protection strategy of geological tourism resources.

Geological tourism resources take geological tourism landscape and its resource environment as their tourism value. Therefore, protecting geological tourism resources and environment is the guarantee of sustainable utilization of geological tourism resources. We must adhere to the basic principles of development under the premise of protection and promote protection in development, and development and protection should be carried out simultaneously.

The research on environmental protection strategy of geological tourism resources mainly includes: the determination of environmental capacity and tolerance of geological resources; Environmental background of geological resources and environmental impact assessment; Geological disaster risk and its prevention; Geological relics and their protection; Geological conditions of tourism environment and its protection measures; Geological resources and environmental suitability of tourism destination development.

4. Development strategy and research of geological tourism resources.

The development and utilization of geological tourism resources is the main body of geological tourism resources, and it is a concrete process of transforming geological resources into tourism resources and obtaining the tourism value, economic benefits and social benefits of geological tourism resources. Therefore, the research on the development strategy of geological tourism resources is an important link in the success or failure of tourism development in tourist destinations.

The research on the development strategy of geological tourism resources must be based on the evaluation of geological tourism resources and the evaluation of geological tourism environment, that is, after finding out the family background, the research on the development strategy mainly includes: the determination of characteristic geological tourism resources, the structure of geological tourism resources and their tourism functions; Development of geological tourism products (series) and their market positioning; The best coordination and integration of geological tourism resources, natural tourism resources and humanistic tourism resources; Tourism market research and geological tourism product marketing planning.

5. Put forward the coordinated development model of man-land relationship between geological tourism resources and environment.

Investigate the tourist destination (geo-tourism scenic area) and the interactive relationship between geo-tourism resources and environment, humanities and social activities (including tourism development activities); Understand the impact of tourism activities on the development of tourism destination communities, especially the negative impact on geological tourism resources and environment, so as to build a human-land relationship model of tourism destination geological tourism resources and environment, and based on the human-land relationship model, from the perspective of the virtuous cycle development of human-land relationship and the sustainable utilization of geological tourism resources and environment, build a coordinated development model of human-land relationship of tourism destination geological tourism resources and environment, so as to guide the benign development of tourism development and environmental protection of tourism destination.

To study the relationship between geo-tourism resources and environment, people and land, it is necessary to absorb the connotation of tourism destination life cycle theory and actively promote the normal development of tourism according to the development law of tourism destinations. Combined with complex theoretical practice, the ways to revitalize and promote the sustainable utilization of geological tourism resources are explored.

6. Geological tourism boutique development

Geological tourism resources, like other tourism resources, have grades and can be developed into tourism products. Geological tourism boutique can be divided into boutique geological tourism landscape, boutique ornamental stones, geological tourism shops and geological tourism boutique routes.

The development of geological tourism products is the process of building the brand of geological tourism resources. Enhance the tourism taste and value of tourist destinations with geological tourism products. And with the progress of the times and the development of science and technology, we strive to constantly develop new tourism products to consolidate and enhance the brand.

The development of geo-tourism products is a complicated process, which is mainly to continuously explore the characteristics of geo-tourism resources, integrate their advantages, plan their tourism image, and establish the brand effect of geo-tourism resources in tourist destinations (such as establishing geological parks and theme parks with resource characteristics as the main body). This is an important link to properly package geological resources into tourism resources and push them to the tourism market (Zhang Xilin, 2006).

7. Introduction of geological tourism cultural products

Geological tourism resources alone are not enough, and they must be packaged into tourist commodities before they can enter the market. Therefore, the important form of commercialization of geological tourism resources is to take the characteristics of geological tourism resources as a selling point, develop geological tourism cultural products, and introduce geological tourism resources and geological tourism products into the tourism market. This is also an important link for geological resources to be transformed into tourism commodities and introduced into the tourism market.

Geological tourism cultural products, like general tourism cultural products, mainly show the tourism value and characteristics of geological tourism resources in the form of cultural products. The introduction of geological tourism cultural products includes the packaging of geological tourism landscape scenes (such as tourism identification system and geological cultural connotation in tour guide words); Including books, periodicals, pictures, video products, handicrafts and other tourism cultural products that promote the excellent geological tourism resources of tourist destinations to non-tourist destinations.

8. Advance exploration on the protection, development and restoration technology of geological tourism resources.

Geological tourism resources are non-renewable. Some tourist attractions, scenic spots and ecological environment will be destroyed because of mistakes in understanding or technical defects; However, as long as the scenic spots are not completely extinct, with the progress of science and technology, the damaged local scenic spots and ecological environment can follow the laws of nature, learn from the formation conditions of similar geological tourism resources, and at the expense of high-tech investment and high financial resources, it has become possible to partially reproduce similar scenic spots and environments in the past through ecological restoration technology. For example, with the in-depth practice of ecological environment restoration technology, Baotu Spring landscape, which once stopped spraying (1970s-1980s), resurfaced before 2000 and was restored to some extent. Another example is the restoration of the tourist environment of the Thames in Britain, and so on. Of course, it should be pointed out that this restoration will cause more or less changes in the ecological environment, especially species. ) cannot be restored to its original state. Although people emphasize that development and protection should be carried out simultaneously, they should have advanced protection awareness and advanced restoration exploration (,Yang,, 2007).

Second, the main points of geological resources tourism resources research

1. Types of geological tourism resources

The classification of geo-tourism resources is the basis of research, utilization, feature determination, evaluation and development of geo-tourism resources.

The division of geological tourism resource units and the planning of geological tourism landscape series are to determine the tourism value of geological landscape from the perspective of ornamental and scientific combination, and to determine the characteristic geological tourism landscape series according to its geological tourism landscape types as the basis for tourism grade exploration and tourism route promotion.

2. Evaluation of geological tourism resources

The evaluation of geological tourism resources is the basis of the development, protection and planning of geological tourism resources. The evaluation of geological tourism resources in data and quantity is the main way to enjoy the environmental information of geological tourism resources in multiple disciplines and channels, and it is also an important link in the utilization of geological tourism resources.

The development and environmental protection of geological tourism resources are based on geological resources and environment, and it is the key problem to transform geological resources into tourism resources and promote the development and environmental protection of geological tourism resources to tap the tourism value of geological landscapes from the perspective of ornamental and scientific. Environmental protection of geological tourism resources is the basis of the utilization of tourism resources and the sustainable utilization of geological resources, and the fundamental condition for the coordinated development of human-land relationship (Qiu Ping et al., 2008).

Geological tourism boutique routes and geological tourism cultural products are important ways to package and promote geological tourism resources to enter the tourism market through tourism product forms and tourism cultural forms; The establishment of geological parks is to use the legal system and government actions to establish a standardized protection of geological tourism resources (geological relics protection areas), to build geological tourism products into characteristic theme parks, and to build geological tourism products brands.

Third, the research process of geological resources and tourism resources

The research on the development, environmental protection and utilization of geo-tourism resources is to explore the development, environmental protection and sustainable development strategies of geo-tourism resources and their influence on the life cycle regulation of tourist destinations from the perspective of new technologies and new concepts such as tourism, remote sensing data and digital earth, so as to provide the best strategies for the development and environmental protection of geo-tourism resources and transform them into tourist attractions. Accordingly, the research work should adopt the research process of basic theoretical research-investigation research and theoretical innovation-development and protection research.
