Abstract
While tourism has become a strategic pillar industry, adding vitality to regional development, ecological and environmental problems have become increasingly prominent. Based on the evaluation index system of ecological environment and tourism development, the paper takes Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region as an example and uses entropy weighting method to reduce the dimension of the original data. Then, the coupled coordination model is used to compare and analyse the comprehensive development index of the two systems from 2009 to 2018, as well as the development level of the coupling coordination degree between the systems. The results are as follows: (1) Ecological environment and tourism development are interrelated and mutually restricted, with positive and negative feedback. (2) The comprehensive development level of ecological environment system and tourism development system is generally on the rise. The coupling degree fluctuates between the two systems, but the coordination degree and the comprehensive development index show a trend of steady growth on the whole, which accords with the characteristics of high coupling and not high coordination. (3) Finally, according to the development of the coupled coordination model, some suggestions on future ecological environment and tourism development are put forward.
Highlights
The ecological environment is composed of land resources, water resources, biological resources, climate resources and other elements, and is a composite ecosystem related to the sustainable development of society and economy
The tourism industry must be developed within the scope of the ecological environment, so as to realize the benign interaction and coordinated development of the tourism industry and the ecological environment
Constructing an evaluation index system is an important foundation for studying the level of coupling and coordination between the ecological environment and tourism development in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region
Summary
The ecological environment is composed of land resources, water resources, biological resources, climate resources and other elements, and is a composite ecosystem related to the sustainable development of society and economy. A benign ecological environment is the cornerstone to support the healthy development of tourism and an important part of increasing tourism attractiveness. The development of tourism provides a stable financial guarantee for the protection of the ecological environment. With tourism in full swing, it will inevitably cause damage to the ecological environment, and the environmental pollution and waste of resources in turn restrict the development of tourism. As a famous karst topography in Guangxi, the contradiction between ecological environment protection and tourism development is prominent because of the destructive nature of karst topography. The tourism industry must be developed within the scope of the ecological environment, so as to realize the benign interaction and coordinated development of the tourism industry and the ecological environment
