| “To govern the country,we must govern the border and stabilize Tibet first” is an important strategic idea put forward by the General Secretary Xi Jinping.The mountainous region in the south of Tibet is an important part of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau,mainly involving Xigaze and Shannan cities in the Tibet Autonomous Region.Because of its special geographical location and social and economic development environment,it has become one of the regions that have attracted much attention in China’s new development plans.However,the fragile ecological environment and the relatively backward level of economic and social development in the mountainous areas of southern Tibet are extremely incompatible with their rich natural resources and profound cultural heritage.How to achieve the stable and coordinated development of society,economy,culture,and ecology is the most urgent problem for the future development of this region.Tourism is not only a process of communication and integration,but also a bridge to spread civilization,exchange culture and enhance friendship.It plays an important role in cultural exchange,interaction,and mutual learning among different ethnic groups.Tourism activities can not only strengthen the consciousness of the Chinese national community,but it is also an effective way to construct the consciousness of the Chinese nation as a single community;Tourism development has also promoted infrastructure and urbanization in the western region,allowing people of all ethnic groups to share the dividends of reform,reflecting the development goal of the Chinese nation community for common prosperity and prosperity of all ethnic groups,and consolidating the material foundation for the development of the Chinese nation community.In the new journey of modernization,the tourism development in the western region must reflect the new requirements of the new era,strengthen the recognition of the Chinese culture by the people of all ethnic groups,establish and highlight the Chinese cultural symbols and image shared by all ethnic groups,innovate eco-tourism products,enrich the product connotation,improve the product system,inherit the Chinese cultural genes,and consolidate the momentum of the Chinese national community consciousness,and as well as enhance the self-confidence and pride of the Chinese nation.In the long-term practice and exploration,eco-tourism,as one of the ways of green development transformation,is recognized as the best choice for regional development for its sustainability.The high-quality development of ecotourism in the mountainous areas of southern Tibet is of great significance to the stability and coordination of regional politics,economy,culture,and ecology,to maintaining the security and stability of the border areas,to improving people’s livelihood,to summoning the hearts of the people,and to constructing a strong sense of the Chinese nation community among the Tibetan people.This dissertation draws insights from the General Secretary Xi Jinping’s plans and strategies,and in doing so,build an evaluation model for the high-quality development of ecotourism in the mountainous areas of southern Tibet,and conduct an overall and classified assessment of the region based on three years of objective economic data and survey data by presenting the state of the overall development of the region and the subsystems of the state development.By coming survey and ethnographic research methods,this dissertation analyzes the problems in the high-quality development of ecotourism from the micro perspective,and summarizes the experience that can be used for reference.Then,based on the objective regional evaluation and first-hand case experience,the problems of regional development are summarized,and the causes of the problems are discussed and refined.Finally,based on the background of regional development,the dissertation puts forward the ideas,priorities,and recommendations for the high-quality development of eco-tourism in the southern mountainous areas of Tibet.This dissertation contains the following conclusions.First,the high-quality development of ecotourism in the mountainous areas of southern Tibet is an important starting point for promoting the high-quality development of the regional economy in Tibet.The mountainous area in the south of Tibet is located at the southern edge of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau,occupying a unique geographical location.It is a region with relatively backward economic,social,and cultural development.Under the requirements of national strategies such as rural revitalization,ecological civilization,and national main functional models,it is a regional necessity to take the path of high-quality development of ecotourism.Second,the high-quality development of ecotourism in the mountainous areas of southern Tibet is still faced with special natural ecological environment and other constraints.The particularity of the geographical environment,the fragility of the ecological environment and the complexity of the ethnic society in the mountainous areas of southern Tibet are the main problems in the high-quality development of ecotourism,and these problems are caused by the lagging development concept,insufficient investment in development funds and shortage of professional talents.Third,this paper constructs an evaluation model for the high-quality development of ecotourism in the southern mountain areas of Tibet and evaluates the region.The high-quality development system of ecotourism in the mountainous areas of southern Tibet is jointly promoted by five subsystems: resources,environment,society,economy,and culture.Through screening indicators and weight assignment,an evaluation model for the high-quality development of ecotourism in the mountainous areas of southern Tibet was constructed.According to the model,the high-quality development of ecotourism in the mountainous areas of southern Tibet is at the third level,with huge room for improvement.Fourth,this paper evalues five subsystems of the high-quality development of ecotourism in the southern mountain areas of Tibet.Through classified calculation,the resource system is at the third level,which does not match its excellent resource endowment,exposing problems such as low resource development and low utilization rate.The ecosystem is at the third level,and the village living environment is in contrast to the good natural ecology,which needs to be further improved.The economic system is at the fourth level,which indicates that the overall economic development environment in the mountainous areas of southern Tibet is still not ideal.Due to various factors,although poverty has been eliminated in the region,there is a great pressure to return to poverty,and the spillover benefits of ecotourism have not yet been brought into play.The social system is at the second level,which shows that with the strong support of the government,the society as a whole has achieved remarkable results.The cultural system is at the third level,and a good circular interaction system has not been formed,so the overall evaluation is not high.Fifth,this pape explores the general law of high-quality development of ecotourism through the development of four typical ethnic villages in the southern mountain areas of Tibet.Through the field survey and ethnographic research in villages,I learned about the path of ecotourism development in different villages,and also found the existing problems and shortcomings.After careful sorting of the villages,we summarized the effective experience of ecotourism development in the southern mountains of Tibet.Sixth,this dissertation puts forward the practical path and safeguard measures to promote the high-quality development of eco-tourism in the southern mountain areas of Tibet.Based on analysis and research,this dissertation puts forward the overall idea of high-quality development of eco-tourism in the mountainous areas of southern Tibet,points out the path to achieve high-quality development through "seeking development in protection,seeking protection in development","promoting national culture,living inheritance and development","deep integration of industries,stimulating local consumption","community co-construction and sharing,mutual benefit and reciprocity in many ways","strictly abiding by the ecological red line,strengthening ecological education",and puts forward scientific planning suggestions on community participation. |
