On the protection of tourism resources in combination with the present situation of contemporary tourism resources.

Tourism resources are mostly precious heritages left by nature and human culture, which are not only easy to be destroyed, but also irreversible. Tourism resources are the foundation of tourism development. Therefore, the protection of tourism resources has become a key issue to protect nature, culture and tourism.

1. Protecting natural tourism resources means protecting natural ecosystems.

Natural tourism resources are landscapes with tourism value in the natural ecosystem on the earth's surface, and they are precious landscapes that have been preserved under the vigorous development of human beings and have evolved over hundreds of millions of years.

According to its characteristics, it can be divided into three categories: natural ecological landscape in prosperity, natural ecological landscape in adversity and special natural ecological landscape.

The prosperous natural ecological landscape refers to the original excellent natural ecosystem of green mountains and green waters, such as world natural heritage, nature reserves and some scenic spots, which are mostly distributed in areas and religious shrines that are difficult for human beings to reach in high mountains and deep valleys.

This landscape has been preserved for two reasons: first, it is difficult for human beings to set foot in it because of the limitation of productivity; The second is the power of religion.

However, this landscape ecosystem is extremely fragile and often located in the ecological fragile zone. With the improvement of productivity and the development of tourism, this prosperous natural ecological landscape has become the resource object of tourism development. If it is not properly developed or managed after development, it will easily cause irreversible damage to the natural ecosystem, and the precious natural heritage left by hundreds of millions of years of evolution will be destroyed.

Adversity natural ecological landscape refers to the natural landscape with ornamental value formed by the reverse evolution of natural ecosystem, such as Yuanmou soil forest in Yunnan, Luliang color sand forest scenic spot and other natural landscapes formed due to serious soil erosion. Although this landscape is formed by soil erosion, if human influence increases the intensity of this soil erosion, it will inevitably affect the morphological characteristics of this landscape and even lead to its disappearance from the earth.

Unique natural ecological landscape refers to the natural landscape that naturally attracts tourists with its unique characteristics, such as the stone forest in southern Yunnan, the landscape in Guilin, and the underground caves in karst landforms.

The formation of this landscape has also experienced hundreds of millions of years. If we don't pay attention to protection, for example, the stone buds of karst landscape are blown up, and stalactites and stalagmites in underground caves are destroyed, it will lose its original charm, reduce its attraction to tourists, and at the same time destroy the integrity of natural landscape.

It can be seen that protecting natural tourism resources means protecting natural ecosystems.

Second, protecting human tourism resources means protecting human culture.

Humanistic tourism resources are precious cultural heritages left over from thousands of years' long history, brilliant crystallization created by ancestors and nature, and are now being taken as the object of tourism resources development, including scenic spots and historical sites, garden buildings, folk customs and so on.

For example, the Forbidden City in Beijing is the largest wooden building complex in the world and the crystallization of the wisdom of our people. It has been declared a world cultural site by UNESCO.

Another example is the Great Wall in Wan Li, China, which is the most spectacular military building in the world. Known as one of the seven ancient buildings in the world, it has also been declared as a world cultural site by UNESCO.

Just as history is irreversible, once the historical and cultural monuments left by the ancients are destroyed, it is impossible to really restore them.

China's unique landscape architecture, based on the principle of learning from nature, adopted a series of architectural techniques to make the original landscape features more prominent.

For example, in the flow of a small river, build a curved bridge to form a beautiful landscape and poetry of "small bridge flowing water"; The tower built on the top of the mountain increases the ups and downs of the landscape and enriches the level of the landscape. This China garden pattern, which originated from nature and is superior to nature, is also the deposit of thousands of years of culture in China. Once destroyed, it is difficult to recover. Even if the reconstruction is resumed, it will leave a seemingly miraculous regret.

As for colorful folk customs, they are living specimens and miniature reflecting the historical development of human society, and they are cultural phenomena left over from the historical development of all ethnic groups. They are now developed as tourism resources, but if they are not properly developed and utilized, it will be difficult to find them back once they are lost.

From the above analysis, we can see that the essence of humanistic tourism resources is culture, and destroying humanistic tourism resources is destroying culture. In this sense, protecting humanistic tourism resources means protecting human culture.

Third, protecting tourism resources means protecting the sustainable development of tourism.

Beautiful and unique tourism resources provide tourists with a good place for sightseeing, vacation, entertainment and other tourism activities, which makes the tourism industry gain economic benefits.

Only when a region has tourism resources can it develop tourism. In this sense, protecting tourism resources means protecting the sustainable development of tourism.

Since the beginning of this century, with the improvement of human social productivity, people's ability to use nature has also been greatly improved. However, due to the lack of a correct understanding of the natural environment, the development of industry and agriculture has embarked on the road of killing the goose that lays the golden egg at the expense of the environment. After being retaliated by nature, they realized that they had to embark on the detour of "pollution (destruction) first and then treatment".

From this painful lesson, we should clearly realize that although tourism is known as "smokeless industry", the fragility and non-renewable nature of tourism resources determine that the development of tourism must not repeat the mistakes of environmental problems.

Once the developed tourism resources are destroyed, the charm of attracting tourists will also disappear, and the economic benefits of tourist attractions will be directly threatened; Potential tourism resources are the reserve resources for the further development of tourism. If it is not developed, it will be destroyed first, and tourism will lose its development potential and become passive water.

It can be seen that protecting tourism resources means protecting sustainable tourism.
