Study On The Eco-tourism Environment Capacity And Its Application Of The Eco-tourism Scenery

Eco-tourism, as a tourism that basically features protection, education, and responsibility, is becoming more and more vital nowadays when ecological environment issues are more and more critical, and it has become popular with lots of tourists and tourism industry all around the world. Tourism development is now appreciating rapidity ever than before. Then, in the development of eco-tourism. it is worth the researchers' attention that how to harmonize both the tourism and the ecological development, make the tourism resources recyclable, and keep the tourism development sustainable. Therefore, how to scientifically determine and manage the eco-tourism environmental capacity of a view spot is the key to the study, which includes theory system study and management tool study, and each has its own focus. However, at present most studies are concentrated in the construction, improvement, and application of the theory system, yet the management tool study is neglected.This paper has systematically demonstrated the system theory framework, and has made up for the neglected part in this field, choosing the zhongnanbaicao destination as a case study and using both the parameter system and the LAC theory. The major study achievements are as follows:(1) Constructed the system theory framework of the eco-tourism environmental capacity, on the base of a brief introduction of the development of the eco-tourism; suggested the definition of the eco-tourism and the eco-tourism environmental capacity, of which the elements are discussed, the traits are analyzed, and the related theories are studied.(2) Analyzed and quantified each parameter of the eco-tourism environmental capacity and illustrated the computation model, taking the available theory and the features of the view spot into account; applied the LAC system to the plan and the management of the eco-tourism area; suggested the issues and the relevant solutions.(3) Applied the parameter system and the LAC theory to the case study of zhongnanbaicao destination; introduced the scale and the primary conditions of this area; computed the maximum number of tourists by creating the parameter system, and analyzed the limitations of the number of tourist population. The LAC theory determines the conditions of the eco-tourism environmental capacity in the eco-tourism area by analyzing the relationship among the resources, social condition parameters, and the criteria, assuring the implementation of the management plans. Parameter system is more fit in macro-directing while the management tool, the LAC theory, is more practical. This paper, using both of them, is remarkably effective.(4) Demonstrated the relationship between the eco-tourism environmental capacity and eco-tourism planning; summed the process of programming and designing of an eco-tourism plan: exemplified the application of the eco-tourism theory system and the management tool.
