Ecological Tourism Bearing Capacity Assessment Based on Analytic Hierarchy Process

Abstract

As the important indicators of measuring sustainable development, application research of tourism environmental bearing capacity has certain necessity and practical significance. Therefore, aiming at the existing environmental vulnerability of coastal tourism development, coastal tourism environmental bearing capacity is evaluated from the coastal environment, so as to better coordinate the relationship between seaside tourism, urban environment and social economy. Analytic hierarchy process is used to build evaluation model, which also gives detailed evaluation indicators. Finally a coastal city in China is chosen for empirical analysis. The results prove that the method is effective and can provide certain reference for the research of coastal tourism environmental bearing capacity in the future.
