An Empirical Study on Determinants of Sustainable Development of Coastal Eco-tourism

Abstract

In recent years,the domestic tourism market developed well.Many cities have made coastal eco-tourism as the city's development goals.When the coastal eco-tourism widely develops,its sustainable development has become the theoretical and practical focus. Based on current research and the theory of sustainable development,the study summarized the determinants of sustainable development of coastal eco-tourism in four aspects:resource environment,economic environment,social environment and management control. And we tested the path and degree of various factors' influence through the empirical method.The result shows that tourism resources, public environmental awareness,environmental protection investment and public education have greater impact on the sustainability of coastal eco-tourism.Tourist economy,social security and stability,norms of resource use have relative smaller impacts.
