Abstract
The Giant Panda National Park is one of the important contents in the construction of a natural reserve system based on national parks in China. It undertakes the responsibility of biodiversity conservation based on giant pandas, and takes into account functions such as recreation, science, and education. On the basis of protecting ecological integrity, the development of eco-tourism is an important issue to be considered in the construction of national parks. This paper combines the current status and trends of ecotourism development in national parks at home and abroad, and summarizes the advantages and existing problems of ecotourism in Giant Panda National Park, and discusses the development direction and construction content of ecotourism management.
Highlights
In 1990, the International Ecotourism Association (TIES) defined ecotourism as “responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and sustains the wellbeing of local people” [1]
TIES believes that over-tourism does not stem from eco-tourism, which is a positive solution to this growing crisis [10]
The scope of the Chinese National Park includes some of the original scenic spots, geological parks, forest parks and other tourist attractions, which are the main areas for ecotourism
Summary
In 1990, the International Ecotourism Association (TIES) defined ecotourism as “responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and sustains the wellbeing of local people” [1]. In 2015, TIES revised the definition of ecotourism, and its revised definition is “responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment, sustains the well-being of the local people, and involves interpretation and education” [2]. Three definitions of this definition are extremely important: ‘is non-consumptive/non-extractive’, ‘creates an ecological conscience’, ‘holds eco-centric values and ethics in relation to nature’ [3]. Ecotourism is one of the main forms of ecological experience and popular science education in the Giant Panda National Park. As an important form of tourism and related stakeholders to participate in national park exchanges, ecotourism is important for its standardized and reasonable tourism behavior and rational use and management of natural resources
