By taking "Danxia" in Hunan Province for example, tourism ecological footprint had been calculated and analyzed. Through researches on ecological profit and loss and nontransferable ecological footprint, the fact that eco-tourism development scale was reasonable or not had been judged. The results showed that ecological deficit was 669.05 hm2 and nontransferable ecological footprint was 1,357.88 hm2. Finally, the paper had proposed countermeasures for eco-tourism sustainable development in "Danxia", hoping to provide reference for the sustainable development of regional tourist ecological economy.展开更多

In order to clarify the trend and changing characteristics of tourism carbon emissions, academia has carried out quantitative research on tourism carbon footprint. Based on the theory of carbon footprint, this study analyzes the tourism carbon emissions in Sichuan Province from 2004 to 2018 through three indexes: tourism carbon footprint, carbon carrying capacity and net carbon footprint. The results show that the carbon footprint of tourism in Sichuan Province shows an increasing trend. During the fifteen years, it increases by 20.2 times from 427.59 million tons to 9505.95 million tons. The carbon carrying capacity of tourism is increasing year by year except in 2008. Sichuan Province was in a carbon surplus before 2012. The carbon carrying capacity is greater than the carbon footprint, which is friendly to the ecological environment. After 2012, Sichuan Province is in a state of carbon deficit, and the ecological pressure is increasing, which is not conducive to human survival.展开更多
