What are the problems in the development of forest tourism?

Forest tourism planning is a kind of tourism planning. It is a place with a certain scale of sightseeing, vacation, rest, health care, science and education, culture and entertainment, which takes good forest landscape and ecological environment as the main body, integrates natural landscape and human landscape, makes use of various functions of forests and takes forest tourism as the purpose. Yuan Jing Design Institute proposed that the development of forest tourism should change with the change of tourists' travel demand, and should be closely combined with forest innovation economics and creative leisure theory.

Problems existing in the development of forest tourism

1. Like mass tourism, forest tourism also faces seasonal problems.

The seasonality of forest tourism is determined by forest tourism products. Due to seasonal restrictions, many related tourism products can only be produced in a specific period of time, which is called the number of days that products can travel. The production potential of a product depends largely on the number of days that the product can swim. Many activities such as forest exploration, forest bathing, rafting, spa and skiing carried out by forest tourism are highly dependent on resources, which determines that forest tourism is greatly affected by seasonality. On the other hand, at present, there are relatively few characteristic cultural items in forest tourism products, such as forest meditation, forest ecological museum and youth camp, which are less affected by seasonality, resulting in greater seasonal influence on forest tourism from birth to the day after tomorrow.

2. The planning of forest tourism products is not strong enough and the types are not balanced.

This can also be seen from the seasonal problems mentioned above. At present, the forest tourism products in forest tourism planning are mainly ordinary people's sightseeing products without characteristics, participatory holiday tourism products endowed with historical and cultural connotations, new theme leisure tourism products for high-end markets, and participatory forest tourism products such as scientific research, education and sports experience are relatively scarce. In other words, at present, the development of forest tourism has only reached the stage of tourism, not to mention the powerful role of rational use of forests. Therefore, it is difficult for many forest tourism destinations to form core competitiveness, which is also a problem that needs attention in the development of forest tourism products in the future forest tourism planning, and it is also the entrance to upgrade their products.

3. The products in forest tourism planning need to be innovated, and the management system also has defects.

Affected by the region, it is difficult to form cohesion among forest tourism projects, and it is very difficult to make full use of forest tourism projects to build brands independently, which leads to the isolation and dispersion of scenic spots and the inability to form a close network, which brings inconvenience to tourists and reduces their interest in traveling. In addition, under the influence of China's administrative system, the management system of forest and tourism is different, and it is difficult to coordinate, which leads to institutional defects in the development of forest tourism, which eventually leads to blind development and low development efficiency, which affects the further development of forest tourism to some extent.

4. There are still some problems in environmental protection.

The balance between interests and protection in tourism development has always been a major problem faced by tourism. In particular, the tourism products developed on the basis of forest resources, which have a great effect on environmental regulation, should be more protected than developed in essence. More precisely, limited development must be carried out on the basis of protection. However, for many profit-making developers, this is a difficult problem, so under the current imperfect system, forest tourism development in many areas is facing the risk of environmental damage. For example, the construction of hotels and other infrastructure in the development process has affected the original ecological appearance of the whole scenic spot. For another example, in the operation of scenic spots, in order to maximize the benefits, the capacity of scenic spots is not well controlled, which leads to the destruction of forest scenic spots by tourists, which not only leads to the destruction of the ecological environment, but also destroys the environmental atmosphere of the whole forest tourism for a long time.
