| Since 1950, the international tourism industry has gone from being of little importance to critical vitality. According to research, the number of international tourists will grow to 1.6 billion and their overall spending will rise to US$2000 billion in 2020. The average annual growth rate of the number of tourists and overall spending will reach 4.35% and 6.7%, respectively. By adding up the incomes of domestic tourism in all countries, we can conclude that tourism has already become the number one world industry, and has been the primary component of the service and trade industry since 1992. For generating a huge amount of profits and taxes, creating a great many job opportunities, promoting exports, and attracting investment, tourism is believed to have a splendid future.However, negative effects hidden behind the prosperity have been emerging in recent years. Many countries, particularly the underdeveloped, have encountered a series of severe problems which cannot be neglected, such as the over-exploitation of tourism resources, irrational administration of tourist destinations, and excessive construction of tourism infrastructures. All these inconsiderate behaviors are speeding up the deterioration of the eco-environment and inevitably threatening the realization of sustainable development. This dissertation discusses the issues pertinent to the fulfillment of the stakeholders' demand of interests and the importance of developing sustainable use of tourism resources.On the basis of previous empirical research at home and abroad, guided by the interest of the stakeholders and directed by the life span of sustainable development of the scenic spot, the present research analyses the issues relating to the sustainable development of the scenic spot.Strategic planning for a scenic spot should proceed prior to its exploitation. The planning should include the precondition of practicing sustainable development based on the theory of stakeholder. While defining concepts pertaining to tourism planning and confirming the status of the stakeholders, this dissertation also clarifies their different demands of interests.To ensure the sustainable development of a scenic spot, the principle of developing ecotourism should be adhered to. The reasonable interpretation of the concept of ecotourism offers guidance for the process of development, defines the roles of different stakeholders in developing the ecotourism, and clarifies their specific demands of interest.Every scenic spot has a life cycle. Administrators of a scenic spot can implement various routes to recovery from recession. Breaking the conventional order wherein each scenic spot is managed individually, and instead enhancing mutual collaboration, can be an effective resolution. Collaboration among different scenic spots is of vital significance to promoting the sustainable development of an area. On the basis of defining the concept of tourism collaboration and summarizing the relevant research, this dissertation analyses the constitution and division of the stakeholders participating in regional tourism collaboration.In order to obtain first-hand materials and synthesize the theory and practice, the paper adopts the methodology of theoretical analysis and survey. The author makes empirical research on the definition of stakeholders, major stakeholders' demands of interests, and approaches to and extent of meeting the stakeholders' demands of interests. In accordance with the findings, the author makes suggestions for policy relating to the sustainable development of Mount Emei.The empirical research on the categorization of stakeholders of Mount Emei, which has been listed as a Cultural and Natural World Heritage Site, stakeholders' demands of interests and the approaches to meeting their demands of interests, is beneficial to sustainable tourism development in Mount Emei and has great value for future researchers and policymakers.
