Overview of the Development of Tourism Environmental Protection

Why are you always looking for this question?

This is my answer (I don’t know if it is helpful to you):

Since the 1970s, involving Professional seminars and reports on tourism environmental protection were held one after another. This marks the official birth of environmental protection science.

In the late 1980s, China held the first academic seminar on "Tourism and Environmental Protection". This marks the official beginning of the formation of tourism environmental protection in my country.

In September 1991, the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) established the World Tourism Environment Research Center (WTTERC). Its purpose is to call on governments to pay attention to the economic and strategic importance of developing tourism. , establish the sustainable and prosperous relationship between tourism and the environment, and eliminate obstacles to tourism growth. Tourism environmental protection has been developed.

In 1994, the United Nations Environment Development Program and the United Nations Economic and Social Council for Asia and the Pacific held a seminar in Thailand with the purpose of promoting the sustainable development of marine tourism in countries in the Asia-Pacific region.

The World Conference on Sustainable Development was held in Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain from April 24 to 28, 1995, aiming to promote the development of global tourism while strengthening tourism environmental protection.

In 2008, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) launched an Internet-based green passport campaign, aiming to advocate tourism environmental protection and develop sustainable tourism. It can be seen that tourism environmental protection has been further developed.

At the same time, domestic and foreign scholars have also conducted extensive and in-depth research on this issue, and published many related books and articles:

1981 Burkart et al. "Tourism: Past and Present" and the future" 1986 China Environmental Science Press "Tourism and Environment"

1995 Lin Yueying "Basic Concept on Establishing the "Tourism Environmental Protection Discipline""

1996 Goodwin "Pursuing Ecological Tourism" 1998 Xu Jun "Analysis of the Connotation of Tourism Environmental Protection"

2000 Burger "Landscape, Tourism and Protection" 2003 Zhang Jianping "Tourism Environmental Protection"

2007 Naveh "Landscape Ecology and Sustainable Development" Sustainable Development" 2008 Liu Ling "Tourism Environmental Capacity Evaluation"

Although more and more research has been done on tourism environmental protection, the theoretical system of the tourism environmental protection subject is not very complete, and further learning is needed exploration.
