Review on Promoting the Sustainable Development of Rural Tourism from the Angle of Community Participation

Abstract

The related literatures in recent 20 years in China were reviewed. Research stage, content, area, and methods are analyzed. Research depth, range, method and case selection have been made progress, however, there still exist many problems. Research content is richer, but there are imitation and repeated researches. Some research contents are insufficient, such as resource combination and community participation integration, analysis of participation background, analysis of community environment, and the analysis of social culture influence. The countermeasures are not enough. The selected regions are widely but they are relatively concentrated, so the choice has certain limitations. The research method is mainly qualitative research, and less of quantitative research. It focused on description and theory analysis, so the method is single and the technical means is less.
