论生态旅游的内涵及规律

本文提出生态旅游理论不是以生态旅游(概念)作为生态旅游理论的核心概念的理论体系,也不是自然环境生态学与旅游理论的联姻。生态旅游理论研究的是一种类似于生态学中的生态链的平衡关系及变化规律。旅游生态链是由旅游主体、旅游客体、旅游媒体(广义)和环境四要素组成。初步探讨了生态旅游中的生态链的平衡、准平衡关系以及变化规律的内容。进而提出生态旅游理论是旅游理论发展的必然,是旅游理论的高级阶段。同时也指出能够出现百种以上的生态旅游概念是理论研究中的一个极不正常的现象,是我们在误区中研究生态旅游理论的必然结果。

Research on the Connotation and Rules of Eco-tourism

In this article, the author points out that eco-tourism theory is neither the theoretical system with eco-tourism (idea) as its core idea, nor the combination of ecology and tourism theory. The eco-tourism theory studies both the balance analogous to that of the ecological chain and its rules for change. Ecological chain in this context is composed of four elements of tourism: subject, object, media (in broad sense) and environment. This article makes a preliminary discussion on the balance and quasi-balance in eco-tourism ecological chain as well as rules for change. It further points out that eco-tourism theory is an inevitable development of tourism theory and at an advanced stage. Meanwhile, the author also mentions it is abnormal in the theoretical research to have more than 100 kinds of ideas on eco-tourism, which cannot but have stemmed from the mistaken study on eco-tourism theory.
