Abstract:

The conflict of the environment protection and economic development exists in nature reserves of the minority areas; ecological tourism is the only way of sustainable development. Quantitative measure of ecological tourism development potentiality can promote tourism planning and development of nature reserve in minority areas, with the reasonable greatly instruction meaning and reference value. The author chose the seven aspects, resource endowment, environmental capacity, economic benefits, the tourist market and the location of the traffic, community participation and management measures, to construct evaluation index system, make evaluation standard, and evaluate ecological tourism potentiality with the method of set pair analysis. The results showed that: resources endowment of nature reserve was better, belonged to high potential type, but because of the small capacity of the ecological environment, the low driving effect of relevant industry, especially the backwardness of community participation, traffic and management measures. These had affected at present ecological tourism potential of nature reserve. The evaluation results conformed to current situation; it demonstrated that the evaluation index and standard was accurate and feasible.
