A Discussion of Sustainable Development of Tourism in Jiuzhaigou World Heritage Site

In the past 30 years,Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area has been engaged in the exploration of sustainable development of tourism.It has achieved great success which is well recognized by professionals in China and other countries.At the same time,the threats to environment and biodiversity conservation caused by growing visitors are becoming one of the biggest challenges to the sustainable development of tourism.Biodiversity conservation is one of the fundamental missions of Jiuzhaigou,and it should be fully considered in carrying capacity measurement and management,which is even more important right now.However,the carrying capacity of biodiversity has not been taken the traditional carrying capacity measurement methods into account.And the current biodiversity data and related knowledge cannot meet the demands of the measurement.Therefore,the accumulation of biodiversity data by monitoring should be fully addressed and considered in the carrying capacity determination,and the adaptive management mechanisms on carrying capacity should be explored.
