Island vacation tour has become a hotspot for current ecological and recreational tourism industries. According to the statistics of World Tourism Organization, the revenues generated by ecological tourism businesses account for 15%-20% of the total world tourism incomes. Along with the building up of economy status and the living standard improvement of the people, shore areas and islands tourist destinations have grown to be the most favored spot for most tourists globally. These places provide people the sense of relaxation and returning to the nature. However, island tourism faces its unique ecological environment problems of sustainable development. It is of much practical significance in how to achieve the sustainable development of the island tourism. The most urgent key issues concerning island exploitation is how to balance the island tourism development and its ecological environment sustainable development.After many years of island tourism exploitation, a lot of islands with developed tourist sites and facilities have come forth a state of successive attraction reduction. Reasons range from serious resource damage, ecological environment damage, and similar tourism projects to aging tourism products. Compared to that, there is more flexibility for island tourism development because of its aboriginality and uniqueness of environment. It is easier to recruit large social investment for large scale tourism development. New and advanced tourism products would cater to the needs of modern tourists. Therefore, it will become a new keystone for island tourism development.Tourism resource is the object of tourism layout and exploitation. In the meanwhile, it is a necessary material foundation of tourism development. Addition to the scientific evaluation and reasonable exploitation of the local tourism resources, the result of island tourism development depends greatly on the existence conditions of the local tourism resources. The existence condition means the quantity of resources, category variations of resources, uniqueness of resources and the space distribution and existing combination of these resources. Consequently, we need to fully understand the characteristics of the tourism resources if we plan to do a rational exploitation of it.Accompanied by the deterioration of environment, there is more and more demand for ecological tourism. Island ecological tours are especially charming for its aboriginality, mystery and uniqueness. There is no regular inhabitant on the Da Jiao Island and Xiao Jiao Island. Both islands are covered with dense forest. Without clear evidence of human influence, the ecological environment has been preserved very well. They are very good ecological tourism development resources. Based on the researches related to tourist interest, we found out that there is no special interest in the tourism resources that is very common and without its individuality. Traveling distance is one important factor for tourist site selection. Da Jiao Island and Xiao Jiao Island belongs to regional tourism resource. Accordingly, the tourists are also regional. Most of the tourists are coming from the Tai Hu shore area and the nearby Nanjing. Interactive Tour is a kind of self-achievement of all the hopes, interests and ethics during the tour. It is actually regarded as a sprout of the new travel revolution. It symbols that human has realized that traveling is not only limited to enjoying the sceneries and visiting historic sites. Traveling can be a self achievement of modem people. It is a way to gain a healthy psychological status and a life style people dreamed of. During the interactive island tour, water sports activities have been the most favored. Therefore, the tourism development on Da Jiao Island and Xiao Jiao Island should be focused on the concept of interactive ecological island tourism.The mid-water island is far away from the mainland. It is an isolated ecological-unit which is consisted of the island soil, animals and plants, island climate and the surrounding ocean. The island eco-system is so vulnerable that when developing tourism business, it is better to take all detailed facts into consideration. Tourism developers should learn about the damages and bad effects to the local ecological environment. They also should try all means to reduce and put off the effects to island environment and try to maintain a sustainable development for the island.Started from the 90's of last century, circular economy theory swept over all the countries on this earth. It is an optimal economy development model. Including China, many countries and areas have made great success by applying it. Circular economy development is an important carrier and perfect model to implement sustainable development strategy. It is strategic choice for tourism resource exploitation and protection in the 21 century.
