The article mainly analyzes tourism for environmental impact. Beijing is concerned, tourism revenue accounts for about 24 percent of the third industry, we are considering it gives us with its economic interests, but also must pay attention to it may bring negative effect. Many articles have extensive study in tourism this service industry is how to affect the economic and about tourism to resources environmental impact of little research.This study uses a framework developed from the industrial ecology literature to assess the impacts of the tourism industry on the environment. Three categories of impact are discussed:direct impacts; "upstream" impacts, resulting from travel service providers' ability to influence suppliers; and "downstream" impacts, where service providers can influence the behavior or consumption patterns of customers.Opportunity for upstream and downstream leverage within the tourism industry is considerable. Hotels can exert upstream influence on their suppliers to provide environmentally sound products, such as recyclable toiletries. Similarly, the cruise industry can use its leverage to convince suppliers to improve the environmental quality of shipboard products. Opportunity for downstream influence exists as well. Travel agents can influence where and how a tourist travels, and tour operators can educate tourists about ways to minimize their impact on the environment.The fragmented nature of the tourism industry is not conductive to regulation that encompasses all aspects of the industry. Therefore, educational efforts aimed at supporting existing regulations and encouraging environmentally responsible behavior where no regulations exist seem most promising as a management scheme. But the relevant laws and regulations and the improvement of the system of executive should also play an important role.
