The Economic Analysis On The Sustainable Use Of Tourist Resource

The tourism in China presents promising future and she will be the largest tourist destination with the increasing economic strength by 2020. However, there exist some problems in the development of traveling resources resulted from the sudden improvement of tourism, such as destruction of traveling resources and the deteriorated ecological environment at tourist spots. Thus, how best to manage and develop the traveling resources and to sustain the development of the resources is a question that is focused on by researchers home and abroad.The recent study on the sustainable use and development of tourist resource are mainly concerned with the study of natural geography, which attracted the researchers to focus on the components of tourist ecological environment, control of tourist capacity, improvement of environmental consciousness of tourists and inhabitants, the design the tourist scenery and trophies, and the tourist activity.Based the former study ,this dissertation analyzes the influential factors on sustainable development of tourist resources, probes into the property right, the market condition, price of resources and management system to study the economic means to solve the unsustainability in developing the tourism after collecting sufficient literatures.The dissertation covers 8 chapters:Chapter1 is the introduction, of which the content mainly is about the study object, technology, frame and brief content, which relies on the literature review of former study about influential factors on tourist sustainability.Chapter 2 studies the present condition of tourist sustainability in which the initial part surveys the utility condition of resource to expose the environmental problems, exhaustion and destruction of resources occurring with the fast development of tourism. Thus, the economic theory is adopted to analyses the inner reasons, so that the management system and measures are put forward for tourist sustainability.Chapter 3 introduces the property right of tourist resources, by using the economic theory of property right, the concept and characteristics of tourist resource property right are defined to emphasize the problems caused by present property right. Then, this chapter puts forward the countermeasure of division between ownership and right of use to diversify the property right of tourist resources and to realize the optimal allocation.Chapter 4 discusses the pricing problem of tourist resources. The traditional idea of being free of charge for tourist spots led to the blind development, thus, this chapter makes use of the theory of market price, and proposes that the different tourist values or cost evaluation should consider the various types of resources by surveying the present evaluation and pricing of tickets in different spots, and that the assessment of resource value should take the externality, opportunity cost of resource-users into consideration and the ticket pricing should be consistent with the paid-service which can ensure the tourist sustainability .Chapter 5 relates the management by government of tourist resources which is characterized by the state-owned industry and which is developed mainly by the government. The traditional administrative management and industrial operation repressed the market development, which leads to the low-efficiency of allocation and the waste of resources. Therefore, this chapter redefines the function of government in developing the tourism and innovates the management, which takes the Taishan scenery area as substantial proof to recreate the management system of Taishan scenery area.Chapter 6 introduces the discount rate into the management system of tourist sustainabilityt. The concepts of discount and discount rate are presented at first and then the relation between discount rate and sustainability in order to put forward that the discounting policy made by the government should be made full use of because the additional discount rate for tourist development is more is helpful for sustainability.Chapter 7 deals with the market structures of tourist resource. In terms of the irreplaciblity of the tourist resources, speciality for management, scarcity limitation, peculiarity of resources, and inseparatibility, the tourist resources should be monopolized by government in management. This chapter points out that there are two types of monopoly:pricing monopoly and that of number of tourists and it takes the tourist company of Huangshan scenery area as substantial proof to show the proper monopoly may ensure the sustainability of tourist resources. Chapter 8 is the conclusion, in which the economic policy and system and the administrative mechanism are put forward for sustainable development of tourist resources to draw the conclusion at economie level.In conclusion, the dessertation deals with comprehensively the influential factors of sustainable development of tourist resonrces, defines the new idea that the key for sustainability is division of four rights, including the ownership, management, operation and supervision, and introduces some economic policy and system, including the emphasis on discount rate in development to tourism, and monopolizing the management for sustainability, etc..The dissertation takes the Mourtain Tai as typical example to study the pricing system of tickets and the government menegement system and propose some countermeasure for development to tourism.Resaerch of tourist resources, as a comprehensive domain, involves many aspects, which should be solved urgently.Being short of the materials and the knowledge, the dissertation only is a preliminary exploration of many questions which need further studies. For instance, whether all traveling resources show the similarity in management or innovation, how to define the property right inside the travel resources, how to evaluate the value of traveling resources .These questions are not involved detailedly for some belong to the domestic even international academic front. Therefore, the author will only be able research further in the later scientific research and the teaching.
