The content of grassland tourism

There are many contents and characteristics in developing grassland tourism. Mainly includes:

1. species resources appreciation includes wild plant resources and wild animal resources, which can provide ornamental value for tourists and satisfy some tourists' thirst for knowledge.

2. Appreciation of community appearance The appearance of wild plant community depends on its growth type, life type, plant cluster type and its growth cycle. The appearance of different plant communities is very different, which has certain ornamental value.

3. Seasonal changes of communities The community changes with tourism value are mainly seasonal changes. In areas with obvious seasonal changes in climate, communities are in different phenological periods in different seasons, forming seasonal changes of communities and increasing tourism value.

4. The specific surface landscape is a specific combination of topography, hydrology and biological resources in grassland area. Such as Tianshan Tianchi landscape, Altun Mountain desert landscape, Hulunbeier grassland Dalai Lake landscape and so on.

Study on Advantages and Disadvantages of Developing Grassland Tourism

1. Positive significance

The development of grassland tourism has played a leading role in the rural economic environment around the tourist area (Zhao Xue, 1994), and promoted the restoration and reconstruction of many historical sites, characteristic buildings and historic sites; Raise people's awareness of environmental protection and provide economic guarantee for ecological protection; Can improve and protect the environmental quality. Chen and others believe that the development of grassland eco-tourism industry can promote the commercialization of local agricultural and animal husbandry products, give full play to the characteristics of grassland leisure, ornamental and tourism animal husbandry, reduce the consumptive utilization of resources, improve the overall development and comprehensive utilization efficiency of grassland resources, and help to make full use of grassland resources, effectively protect the ecological environment and national culture, and increase the economic income of farmers and herdsmen.

2. Negative effects

Any mode of development will bring different impacts, including negative aspects. Through the study of grassland tourism in Bashang, Hebei Province, Zhao Xue found that grassland tourism is easy to cause grassland desertification; It has a negative impact on ecological engineering construction; It has a disastrous impact on ornamental plant resources. Wei Zhijun and others summarized the harm of grassland tourism to the ecological environment from the aspects of the influence of tourism on grassland vegetation, grassland residents, grassland environment, soil in tourist areas and serious environmental pollution caused by tourists' waste. Most of these conclusions are drawn through investigation and rational reasoning, without technical monitoring and technical inspection results and lack of data support, which is a shortcoming in the research.

For the reasons of the above problems, the biggest crux is human interference. Wang Qingsuo, Ren Zhiyuan and others. It is believed that the tourism industry in grassland areas has just emerged and its management is extensive, which has caused a series of ecological and environmental problems. The existence of this reason has also been confirmed in specific research. With the development of tourism, people's awareness of environmental protection has not been improved accordingly, resulting in the destruction of vegetation, the reduction of plant species and soil erosion near the scenic spot.
