A Review on Ecotourism Researches from 2006 to 2012

基于《Annals of Tourism Research》、《Tourism Management》和《旅游学刊》3大国内外顶级旅游期刊检索到的生态旅游研究论文,回顾和分析了国内外学术界自2006年以来有关生态旅游研究的趋向与特点,并结合相关研究,探讨了生态旅游发展研究方向与趋势等问题,提出生态旅游是一种理想的旅游可持续发展形式或目标。生态旅游研究在解决实践操作技术问题的同时,要加强理论研究;通过推动生态旅游理论的完善,促进其健康发展。

Based on the ecotourism academic articles searched from 《Annals of Tourism Research》,《Tourism Management》 and 《Tourism Tribune》 from the year of 2006 to 2012, this paper analyzed the characteristics and tendency among ecotourism researches. With the reflection on these principal issues which had emerged, three conclusions could be drawn： 1）ecotourism is an ideal mode or goal of sustainable development of tourism; 2）while the practical technologies or skills were emphasized from the studies, serial theories are necessarily urgent as well; 3）ecotourism theories play an important role in the shrinking of ecotourism industry, especially with the completion of those theoretical basement.
