The coastal tourism resource is an important part of marine resources. Coastal tourism has already been one of the fi elds with the fastest developing speed in modern tourism. Qinzhou, as one of the three coastal cities of Beibu Gulf Economic Zone in Guangxi Province, China, is very rich in the coastal tourism resources with greatly potential development. It has been developing rapidly these years. But there are still some problems. Firstly, the author gives an overview to the status of coastal tourism resources in Qinzhou and points out the existing problems; then the other uses the SWOT analysis method to briefl y analyze the advantages, disadvantages, opportunities and challenges for the development of the coastal tourism culture of Qinzhou; fi nally, the paper puts forward suggestions for sustainable development of coastal tourism culture to promote the sustainable development of Qinzhou tourism industry.展开更多

Damage occurs from both direct and indirect impacts of tourism activities on coral communities. The Gulf of Suez has increasing of resorts from 8 at 2000 to 31 at 2014. This affected the coral communities along the area of study leads to a decrease in coral areas from 960 m2 at 2000 to 750 m2 at 2014, number of coral species from 21 species at 2000 to only 14 species at 2014, percentage cover of life coral from 46.4% at 2000 to 10.6% at 2014;on contrary, dead coral increased from 23.8% to 47.9% at the same period. This accompanied with an increase in the percentage of the algal cover from 8.6% at 2000 to 19.4% at 2014. The statistical analysis revealed a high correlation between the increased tourism activities and the coral status variables measured during the study. The data obtained showed high significant positive and negative correlation between the different variables that determined according to the effect of the different variables on each other and the relation between them. The simple linear regression statistical analyses showed a significant effect of tourism activities on the coral status, the analyses indicated that each increase in number of resorts by one resort leads to significant decrease in total coral area at the site by 0.9%, the analysis also showed that 80% of that decrease referred to the effect of tourism activities and 20% referred to other reasons. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) divided the recoded coral species into three categories, the first is soft corals which recorded significant increase in percentage cover from 2000 to 2014, the second is three species that recorded insignificant difference during the period of study, while the third category include most of the recorded species and they showed significant decrease in their percentage cover along time of study. The data obtained illustrated that all the investigated coral parameters are affected by the increasing tourism activities.展开更多

文摘The 21 st century is the ocean century. The coastal tourism resource is an important part of marine resources. Coastal tourism has already been one of the fi elds with the fastest developing speed in modern tourism. Qinzhou, as one of the three coastal cities of Beibu Gulf Economic Zone in Guangxi Province, China, is very rich in the coastal tourism resources with greatly potential development. It has been developing rapidly these years. But there are still some problems.
