Tourism environment problem

At present, tourism has become the largest industry in the world, which has produced good economic and social benefits, but it has also had a serious impact on the environment.

First, the main environmental problems facing China's tourism industry at present

At present, the main environmental problems faced by tourism in China are:

1, a considerable number of hot tourist areas are seriously polluted. Mainly manifested in water pollution, air quality decline, local ecological environment destruction, tourism resources destruction;

2. The environmental sanitation in the tourist area is poor, the garbage in the area is scattered and piled up at will, and sewage and dirt can be seen everywhere;

3. Some hot tourist areas receive tourists on a super scale, and the tourist areas are overcrowded and crowded, and the tourist atmosphere is lost;

4. Tourism development and construction projects are not in harmony with the overall environment of tourist areas.

Second, the causes of tourism environmental problems

There are many reasons for environmental damage and environmental quality decline in tourist areas. To sum up, there are the following points:

1, human improper economic behavior has destroyed the tourism environment.

The impact and destruction of human economic activities on the environment of tourist areas can be divided into three aspects: (1) In the process of economic development, the waste discharged from industrial production and the noise generated pollute the natural environment of tourist areas and disturb the proper tranquility of tourist areas. In this way, on the one hand, the tourist area has lost its fresh air, transparent water body and quiet atmosphere; On the other hand, environmental pollution reduces tourists' interest in sightseeing. (2) Unreasonable resource utilization and agricultural production methods have destroyed the natural ecological balance of tourist areas, and tourism resources have been directly affected, such as deforestation, over-exploitation of groundwater, rock blasting and other activities, which have caused soil erosion, decreased water level of tourist water bodies, and destroyed the beautiful scenery of strange mountains. (3) Ignoring the existence of tourism resources in economic structure, productivity layout and urban development planning makes the types of regional economic structure, productivity layout mode and urban development direction incompatible with the requirements of normal and sustainable development of tourism on environmental conditions. For example, a large cement plant will be built in Shilin tourist area of Yunnan, and ash kilns and coal kilns will be built in Zhoukoudian ape-man site of Beijing.

2. The impact of tourism activities on the environment of tourist areas.

The influence of tourism activities on the environment of tourist areas mainly lies in the pollution of garbage produced in the process of tourism to the environment of scenic spots and the influence of tourism activities on the natural ecological balance and tourist artistic conception of scenic spots. Due to the imperfect facilities in the tourist area itself and the low quality of tourists, with the expansion of tourism activities, the amount of waste in the scenic area is increasing day by day. A large amount of garbage in tourist areas is scattered and piled up at will, which destroys the natural landscape, pollutes the scenic spots and makes the water in tourist areas eutrophic. The water bodies in many tourist areas in China have been polluted to varying degrees. The transparency, chromaticity, odor and other indicators of a considerable number of tourist water bodies have exceeded the national standards for tourist water bodies. Floating objects, suspended matter and oil pollution affect tourists' senses and reduce their interest in tourism.

The super-scale reception exceeding the capacity of the scenic spot has destroyed the balance of the natural ecosystem in the tourist area. The biological system that constitutes the natural landscape has a certain carrying capacity for tourism activities, which is determined by the structure of the ecosystem. Tourism activities that exceed its carrying capacity will change the ecosystem structure of the tourist area and lose its tourism function. Mainly manifested in the fact that a large number of tourists have stabilized the land in the tourist area, causing the soil to harden and the trees to die; A large number of tourists climb mountains, destroying the stable deciduous layer and humus layer formed under natural conditions for a long time, causing soil erosion, bare roots of trees and lodging of grasses, which brings harm to the ecosystem of tourist areas. ...

The inherent problems of improper tourism activities are serious. Ignoring this influence, focusing only on short-term benefits, blindly expanding the scale and receiving tourists without restrictions will bring serious damage to the sustainable development of tourism in the future.

3. Tourism development and construction have destroyed the environment of tourist areas.

During the development and utilization of tourism resources, the construction of related facilities is not in harmony with the whole tourist area, resulting in the destruction of tourism resources, the ecological environment of the tourist area, especially the tourist atmosphere, which is mainly manifested in the improper restoration of historical sites and the disharmony between new projects and the landscape of the tourist area, which changes or destroys all the history, culture, national style and atmosphere that should have been preserved in the tourist area and is beneficial to specific tourist objects. Its tourism value is mainly reflected in its unique history, culture and atmosphere. In the development and utilization of tourism resources, these should undoubtedly be preserved, protected and fully displayed. Ignoring the overall coordination of tourist areas and their connotations and blindly developing them will only lead to neither fish nor fowl in the scenic spots, thus losing their tourist value and reducing tourists' interest.

Urban construction destroys the tourist atmosphere, which is mainly manifested in the disharmony between new buildings and the overall buildings of tourist cities. The city itself, as a tourist object, has lost its true colors.

Therefore, we should make rational use of geographical resources and environment, promote the harmonious development of tourism and geological parks, strengthen the awareness of protecting geological resources, make rational use of geological resources, and rely on geological resources to promote social evolution and social civilization!

In a word, geological relics are precious natural resources, an important part of ecological environment and the foundation of tourism development. Strengthening the protection of geological relics, permanently maintaining and rationally utilizing the beautiful geological natural environment, and promoting the harmonious development of tourism and geological parks are the needs of sustainable economic and social development. We believe that with the effective protection of geological relics, geological relics, a treasure of mankind, will shine forever.
