What are the types of eco-tourism areas?

The types of eco-tourism areas are: forest recreation eco-tourism, grassland customs eco-tourism, wetland bird watching eco-tourism, desert adventure eco-tourism, etc.

Generally speaking, the material basis and carrier of eco-tourism scenic spots are natural areas. Therefore, under the condition of following the principle of sustainable development, all natural tourist attractions and natural resources mentioned in this chapter can be developed into eco-tourist attractions. However, there are different views on whether the scenic spots with artificial ecological landscape as the main content belong to eco-tourism scenic spots. Some people think that as long as the scenic spot has two characteristics of sustainability and learning, it can become an eco-tourism scenic spot.

For example, urban zoos, botanical gardens, aquariums and other scenic spots are the second classroom for urban residents to carry out natural ecology education. However, some scholars believe that eco-tourism has become the image packaging and concept hype of some scenic spots. In addition to sustainability and learning, a real eco-tourism scenic spot must also emphasize the naturalness of the place and the sense of responsibility of the managers. However, some of the above scenic spots do not meet these conditions, so they cannot be listed as eco-tourism scenic spots.

Features of scenic spots

1. Natural and cultural articles with ecological beauty

The biggest feature of eco-tourism scenic spots is natural and cultural objects with ecological beauty. The so-called ecological beauty refers to the beauty that the living things with strong vitality live in harmony with their environment. The core attraction of eco-tourism scenic spots to tourists is their natural ecological landscape or humanistic landscape with ecological beauty, such as traditional rural pastoral scenery, botanical gardens, zoos, ancient gardens, famous mountains and rivers and so on. Therefore, the natural and human objects with ecological beauty are the biggest differences between eco-tourist attractions and general tourist attractions.

2, with resources and environmental protection measures.

The biggest difference between eco-tourism and traditional tourism types is that it is protective and its ultimate goal is sustainable tourism development. Therefore, eco-tourism scenic spots follow the principle of environmental protection from the beginning of development, plan and design a set of measures to protect resources and environment, and take corresponding measures from tourists, tourism developers and local residents to ensure the sustainable development of eco-tourism scenic spots.
