Abstract

Sensitivity Analysis of Coastal City Tourism and Environmental Systems Based on Coupling Model

Highlights

Following continual improvements in productivity levels and the increased importance attached to leisure, the global tourism industry has undergone rapid development
A coupling model was adopted to conduct an objective evaluation of the sensitivity of a coastal city’s ecological system to tourism activities, which was expected to provide a basis for decision-making related to the rational development of tourism resources, the planning of tourism activities, and the reduction of negative effects from tourism.[1,2] Sanya is located at the southernmost tip of Hainan Island in China and is between 18°09′34′′ and 18°37′27′′ north and 108°56′30′′ and 109°48′28′′ east (Fig. 1)
The coupling coordination degree model (CCDM) was used for a comprehensive assessment of the sensitive relationship between Sanya’s tourism industry and ecological environmental systems to provide a theoretical basis for the sustainable development of coastal city tourism in China

Summary

Introduction

Following continual improvements in productivity levels and the increased importance attached to leisure, the global tourism industry has undergone rapid development. A coupling model was adopted to conduct an objective evaluation of the sensitivity of a coastal city’s ecological system to tourism activities, which was expected to provide a basis for decision-making related to the rational development of tourism resources, the planning of tourism activities, and the reduction of negative effects from tourism.[1,2] Sanya is located at the southernmost tip of Hainan Island in China and is between 18°09′34′′ and 18°37′27′′ north and 108°56′30′′ and 109°48′28′′ east (Fig. 1) It is one of China’s famous tropical coastal cities with a coastline measuring 209.1 km and has 19 harbors, 40 outlying islands, and rich natural resources. The coupling coordination degree model (CCDM) was used for a comprehensive assessment of the sensitive relationship between Sanya’s tourism industry and ecological environmental systems to provide a theoretical basis for the sustainable development of coastal city tourism in China
