Abstract/Summary:
As a kind of low-carbon industry which could take into account all of the ecological,economic and social benefits, forest eco-tourism is being widely paid attention to andhighly valued by both political and academia all around the world in the current situationthat the resources and the environment are being destroyed seriously. As one of the world’sfive largest forestry countries, China has abundant forest eco-tourism resources. Therefore,it is very important to research the forest eco-tourism resources development effect’sinfluencing factors and their mechanism for the booming of our country’s foresteco-tourism, the acceleration of ecological civilization construction and the realization ofsustainable development.At first, this dissertation summarizes relevant research results. Then, this dissertationbuilds a forest eco-tourism resources develop system model at the perspective of ecosystem.It holds the opinion that all of the participation groups of forest eco-tourism resourcesdevelopment practice, their relationship and the forest eco-tourism resources which thegroups relying on constitute a special “develop system of forest eco-tourism resources ".Otherwise, inspired by the niche theory, this dissertation considers that the participationgroups of forest eco-tourism resources development practice have their own developmentniche, just as the unit of the develop system of forest eco-tourism resources. The developeffect of the develop system might show different results because of the groups’ differentdevelop niche.After that, this dissertation establishes evaluation model and index system of foresteco-tourism resources development effect from the angle of tourist satisfaction and exploresall the forest eco-tourism resources development effect’s influencing factors such asresources factors, actors factors, market factors and macroscopic factors. Then, based onprevious research, this dissertation constitutes an influencing mechanism model of foresteco-tourism resources development effects. The model includes two parts: one is thepresent situation of the attractions’ development in the form of the influencing factors’actual performance; the other is the present situation of the attractions’ development in theform of the actual performance of tourist satisfaction. It also makes an empirical researchbased on the survey data collected from China’s Hebei province, and verifies thehypotheses in the influencing mechanism model of forest eco-tourism resourcesdevelopment effects through empirical research. The results show that actor factors havethe most significant effect on tourist satisfaction, followed by market factors, resourcesfactors and macroscopic factors. In addition, the mediating effect of tourist experience andtourist expectations, and the moderating effect of direct developers should also be paid more attention to.Finally, this dissertation puts forward some targeted proposals on how to improve thedevelopment level of forest eco-tourism resources in Hebei province according to theresults of empirical research.
