The surrounding border areas are Kunlun Mountains－Altun Mountains－Qilian Mountain on the north,Hengduau Mountains on the east Pamirs and Hindu－Kush Mountains on the wot and the piedmont belt of the Himalayas on the south． This region covers the contiguous areas of China， Nepal， Sikkim,Bhutan, India, Myanmar，Pakistan, Afghanistan and Tajikistan. In China the region involves the wbole Xizang Autonomous Region, the whole Qinghai Province， the southem part of Xinjiang Uygur Athenomous Region,the southwestern part of Gansu Provice, the western part of Sichuan Province and the northwestem part of Yunnan Province, covering a tltal area of 2700 000km2,of 70% of the roof region of the world.展开更多

It said that this method because of medical care and tourism industry companies to participate and become more convenient, whether public enterprises or private enterprises. With the rapid development of the tourism industry, this particular industry is becoming increasingly popular. The paper will be divided into the following six sections discuss the types of medical tourism in this special tour.展开更多

Selenium is an essential nutrient in delaying aging,has signifi cant therapeutic effect on various diseases. Enshi Prefecture in Hubei Province enjoys a reputation of the "World Selenium Capital",is a region of high-concentration negative oxygen ion and livable climate. The prefecture has unique regional advantages with selenium-enriched wellness ecotourism. Through introducing selenium-enriched tourism resources,ecotourism resources and health tourism resources in the World Selenium Capital,this paper analyses the development countermeasures for the selenium-enriched wellness ecotourism,and puts forward constructive suggestions.展开更多

However, formal analyses of the past experiences of other provinces indicate that there are significant risks in the tourism development policy followed in Zhouzhuang. Although the well preserved and reconstructed physical buildings have facilitated listing on the UNESCO World Heritage List, the traditional canal-town life style, the major attraction of Zhouzhuang, is giving way to commercialization. Quick and easy compensating measures have been adopted to create a staged image of an authentic traditional lifestyle. Precautions should be made now or Zhouzhuang runs the risk of becoming little more than a thematic park with no real cultural or social meaning for tourists or the inhabitants. A system dynamics model has been built for the purpose of developing an understanding of the complex structure of Zhouzhuang tourism development. The model consists of six sectors: physical environment, culture, infrastructure, job market, tourist, and financial resource allocation and promotion. Simulation of the model shows that the time delay, eroding target and the non-linearity are the key internal factors leading to a potential growth and decline tourism development pattern. Further simulations were conducted to examine the impacts of various policy options. The model suggests that the most effective policy for sustainable tourism development is a conservative one that controls and limits the numbers of tourists. It is expected that the model can provide a learning micro-world" which will facilitate understanding of the complexities of tourism development and serve as a guide to effective policy formulation.展开更多
