Analysis on successful factors in ecotourism development-Studies on twenty-five ecotourism development cases in the world

Abstract

Abstract: Ecotourism is a form of tourism which focuses on contributing to the preservation of natural and cultural resources and promoting economic contribution to local communities.Certain factors have been identified in the literature to optimize both preservation and economic contribution,while the strategies to accomplish these factors have not been defined.In this paper,five success factors in ecotourism development (i.e.an integrated approach,planning and developing in proper sequence,education and training,maximizing local benefits,and evaluation and feedback) were analyzed and identified with the strategies described under each factor.The results indicated that success factors should be reevaluated and identified using an ecosystem management approach which puts the health of the environment as the foundation of tourism development.Standards need to be set and then strategies assigned to maintain standards for environment preservation and economic well-being.The conclusion of the qualitative analysis will be helpful to realize the defectives in the ecotourism development.

Key words: Sichuan golden monkey, Habitat, Physiological adaptation
