Why should we protect tourism resources?

1. Protecting natural landscape tourism resources is an important part of maintaining ecological balance.

In today's increasingly frequent environmental pollution and destruction, human survival is facing severe challenges, and protecting the environment has become the common aspiration of people all over the world. As an important part of geographical environment, natural landscape is a valuable resource with tourism value that has been preserved through hundreds of millions of years of natural and human evolution. Protecting them is not only an important part of environmental protection, but also has positive significance for maintaining ecological balance.

According to its characteristics, natural landscape tourism resources can be divided into three categories: natural ecological landscape in prosperity, natural ecological landscape in adversity and special natural ecological landscape. The prosperous ecological landscape refers to the intact original landscape. Such as world natural heritage, nature reserves and some natural scenic spots, are mostly distributed in high mountains and deep valleys, inaccessible areas and religious shrines. This landscape has been preserved for two reasons: first, due to the limitation of productivity level, it is difficult for human beings to set foot in it for the time being; The second is the control of religious forces. This landscape ecosystem is often extremely fragile. With the continuous development of productivity and tourism, it has become and is becoming the 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. Unique natural ecological landscape refers to the natural landscape that attracts tourists with its unique appearance, and its formation has also gone through a long period. If it is not protected, it will lose its original charm, reduce its attraction to tourists, and at the same time destroy the integrity of the natural landscape. It can be seen that protecting natural landscape tourism resources means protecting natural ecosystem.

2. Protecting cultural landscape tourism resources is the need to protect cultural integrity and cultural heritage.

As a living specimen and microcosm reflecting the development history of human society, regional culture is the most vital part of human landscape tourism resources. The unique production, living customs and religious beliefs formed by people of different regions and nationalities in the process of long-term adaptation and transformation of nature are a cultural orientation in the harmonious development between man and nature, which is reasonable. In the development of tourism resources, only from the perspective of promoting national culture, maintaining its "original flavor" and preventing the bad development behavior of low-level vulgarization can the integrity of local culture and cultural ecological balance not be destroyed, and the tourist destination can also show strong vitality.

In addition, many ancient human sites, ancient buildings and other historical sites are not only important human landscape tourism resources, but also their essence has become a precious world cultural heritage with its high historical, cultural and artistic value. Just as history is irreversible, the historical and cultural monuments left by the ancients, once destroyed, can not really restore their original appearance, even if they are copied at a high price, their significance is completely different.

3. Protecting tourism resources is the fundamental guarantee for the sustainable development of tourism.

As a way to regulate human activities, sustainable development has been accepted by more and more people and has become an important theoretical and practical topic for human economic and social development in the 2 1 century. The core of sustainable development is to develop economy, the sustainable utilization of resources and the improvement of ecological environment are signs, and the sustained and all-round progress of society is the goal. In short, sustainable development is to obtain the maximum development benefit at the minimum cost of resources and environment.

The sustainable development of tourism is the concrete implementation and application of the idea of sustainable development in tourism. From 65438 to 0995, the Charter of Sustainable Tourism Development adopted by UNESCO, the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Tourism Organization at the World Conference on Sustainable Tourism Development held in Spain pointed out: "Tourism has a dual nature, which can not only promote social, economic and cultural development, but also aggravate the loss of the environment and the disappearance of regional characteristics"; "The essence of sustainable development of tourism is to require the integration of tourism with nature, culture and human living environment. The balance between nature, culture and human living environment makes many tourist destinations have their own characteristics, and tourism development cannot destroy this fragile balance. " It can be seen that protecting tourism resources and their ecological environment is very important for the sustainable development of tourism. On the one hand, the characteristics and eternal existence of tourism resources are the basis for the existence and development of tourism, while tourism resources are limited. Tourism activities cause environmental losses and local characteristics gradually disappear, which is essentially a consumption of tourism resources. The development of tourism must effectively protect tourism resources and make its sustainable utilization level continuously improve. On the other hand, high-level sustainable utilization of tourism resources and good ecological environment are important signs of sustainable development of tourism. The real sustainable development of tourism must be based on the moderate development of human beings, the level of sustainable utilization of tourism resources and the continuous improvement of ecological environment carrying capacity. Therefore, it is necessary to correct the previous view that tourism is a smokeless industry and put the protection of tourism resources and their environment at its due height.
