National Parks and Sustainable Tourism Development

Recreation and tourism are always an important topic in the establishment and management of nature reserves such as national parks, and are also the most important way to promote sustainable use. The National Park proposes a new concept of adhering to ecological protection as top priorty, adhering to national representativeness, and adhering to the public welfare of the whole people. It will help to promote the transformation of tourism from "ticket economy" to public welfare, from general tourism activities to recreation activities, and from extensive tourism activities to sustainable ecotourism. To achieve sustainable tourism development, national parks must follow the control requirements of ecological space, demonstrate the concept of the main functional area, accelerate the rationalization of the national park management system, improve the national park capital guarantee mechanism, implement the franchise system, and strengthen the management of tourism activities and services. A series of safeguard systems such as facility construction, community coordination, ecological compensation, and visitor management will be established to ensure that the recreation function of the national park is effectively utilized.
