Theories And Practice Of Eco-agricultural Tourism Park Planning

Touring-agriculture industry holds attributes of both agriculture and tourism. The splendid agricultural civilization history and rich agricultural resources in China have laid exceptional foundation for the development of touring-agriculture. In addition, an enormously expanding tourist source market and an immense tourism demand have formed upon the urban residents' growing demand of returning to nature. All of above promotes the development of this industry in China, as well as the development of integrated touring models such as tourism parks.This paper introduces a case study of eco-agricultural tourism park through specific investigations of its key components, upon which is the in-depth research of landscape planning, industry planning and recreation planning from views of landscape designing, industry and tourism, respectively. The main content may summarize as the following five parts:The first part is the introduction, which mainly elaborates the research background, research object and scope, research motive and vital significance, research content and frame and innovated theories.The second part includes the second and third chapteras the research foundation. This part firstly defines the concept, characteristics and forms of touring-agriculture. Then research and practice on touring-agriculture accomplished by domestic and foreign scholars are analyzed, problems and corresponding strategies in theories and constructions of the eco-agricultural tourism park are pointed out.The third part includes the fourth to ninth chapters, as the major analysis part. This part discusses deeper essence of eco-agricultural tourism park and then presents its characteristics and forms. By combining with the multi-theory supporting framework, this part investigates the background conditions, construction conditions as well as the development orientation and the business model of eco-agricultural park.
