Research on Low-Carbon Tourist Spot Development Based on Environmental Capacity Control: A Case Study on Mt. Longquan in Chengdu

Article Preview

Abstract:

Abstract. A low-carbon tourist spot comprises primarily three of its main aspects: natural environment, tourism facilities and the tourist spot management system. Based on the ecotourism development experience of Mt. Longquan Ecotourism Functional Zone in Chengdu, this article intends to cite the environmental capacity theory to study low-carbon tourism development and help maintain an optimal balance between environmental quality and tourist-generated carbon emission by taking such steps as environmental capacity balancing and control.
