Impact of tourism development on nature reserves (protective measures)

The positive effects of eco-tourism on nature reserves are as follows: ① it is conducive to improving the utilization value of resources in the region, promoting regional economic development and enhancing the self-development ability of nature reserves; Eco-tourism is the comprehensive utilization of resources in nature reserves without destroying natural resources and ecological balance. (2) It is beneficial to improve the popularity of nature reserves and accumulate rich management and construction experience; Nature reserve is not only an ideal place to protect biodiversity, but also a base for scientific research and education, and a good place for eco-tourism. The development of ecotourism in nature reserves has attracted a large number of tourists and experts and scholars at home and abroad to visit. (3) It is beneficial to realize community management and raise public awareness of environmental protection; The spirit of community participation advocated by eco-tourism has won the most extensive and solid internal support for the protection of nature reserves through the participation and benefit of the community masses.

The adverse effects of developing eco-tourism in nature reserves are as follows: ① Eco-tourism increases the management difficulty of nature reserves. On the one hand, ecotourism in nature reserves can create economic benefits for nature reserves; On the other hand, environmental pollution, uncivilized activities and behaviors of some tourists, the impact of foreign culture and the blindness of development will interfere with and destroy its resources, affect the normal management of nature reserves and increase the difficulty of management. How to provide healthy, safe and comfortable tourism products has become an urgent problem in nature reserves. ② Tourism poses a potential threat to wildlife. Tourism in nature reserves, due to the uneven quality of tourists and the limitation of management power, poses a potential threat to the habitat and survival of wild animals and plants, such as climbing branches, trampling on vegetation, picking flowers and fruits, picking birds' eggs, using fire in the wild, disturbing animals and so on. In addition, the entry of tourists has also increased the spread probability of some human and animal diseases.

Development and management countermeasures of ecotourism in nature reserves

At present, nature reserves have the social conditions to develop eco-tourism. First, the construction of nature reserve management institutions has been gradually strengthened; Second, the construction of nature reserves is gradually moving towards legalization and standardization; Third, the national economy has developed rapidly, people's living standards have improved and the overall quality has been continuously improved. Therefore, the development and management of ecotourism is particularly important. According to the present situation and characteristics of nature reserves in China, combined with the problems existing in the process of developing ecotourism, the following countermeasures and measures are put forward for the development and management of ecotourism:

(1) Adhere to the guiding ideology of sustainable development. People should establish the ideology of sustainable development in the process of developing and utilizing the tourism natural resources in protected areas, fully study its impact on other resources, other factors and the whole tourism environment, take into account the principle of fairness at home and abroad, and bear the same moral obligations to contemporary people, leaving them sufficient space to enjoy the fun of tourism. On the premise of protection, we should make rational use of it and protect it as much as possible to ensure the sustainable development of tourism.

(2) Rational layout, scientific planning and key development. China has a land area of 9.6 million square kilometers, spanning nearly 50 latitudes from north to south and more than 60 longitudes from east to west. The complex and diverse climate types and rich species resources constitute the resource advantages and characteristics of nature reserves in China. However, among the nearly 2,000 nature reserves established in China, the spatial and geographical distribution is very different, and the location characteristics, protected objects and resource grades are different.

(3) Improve laws and regulations and strengthen law enforcement supervision. The development and construction of ecotourism in nature reserves should be brought into the legal track. Although "Regulations on Nature Reserves" and "Measures for the Administration of Forest and Wildlife Nature Reserves" and other relevant laws and regulations have made corresponding provisions on developing ecotourism in nature reserves, the principles, conditions, procedures, steps and restrictive measures for developing ecotourism in nature reserves are not detailed enough and still need to be improved.

(4) Establish a scientific eco-tourism management mechanism. Whether ecotourism in nature reserves can integrate nature, protection, science, education and income generation and realize the unity of ecological, social and economic benefits depends on the management level. Therefore, it is extremely important to improve the management mechanism of ecotourism in protected areas and build a scientific and reasonable management model. Eco-tourism management is a new concept combining comprehensiveness with professionalism, development with protection, which embodies economic, ecological and social benefits. This kind of management can not only provide people with the true feeling of "returning to nature and simplicity", but also ensure the integrity of ecology and the quality of environment, which is a reliable guarantee to realize the coordinated development between man and nature and the sustainable development of ecological economy.
