ABSTRACT

The starting point of natural reserves to develop ecological tourism is to let visitors to be close to natural, protect natural, and hence with a good ecological education and ecological experience. Ecological tourists and local residents should have a strong ecological consciousness and environmental awareness. However, many local residents lack enough understanding of ecological tourism, ecological consciousness and consciousness of environmental protection. Thus, the tourism investors and operators there will inevitably pay much attention on economic significance and political achievements while ignoring the sustainable development of resources and social benefits during the process of developing ecological tourism.
