| China is a mountainous region, and mountains and hills take up two thirds of area of the country. The scientific exploitation of mountain has long been an important task of scientific research and production. According to current correlative research from home and abroad, the research on exploitation of mountain tourism resource needs to be improved both in theory and evaluation methods.In this paper, the exploitation research of mountain tourism research is a research from broad sense. It includes not only the exploitation research, but also the research of classification and evaluation serving for the exploitation. It is very difficult to develop a general research for there are too many mountains in our country. We only research western mountain areas of Yongchun county. Fujian province, in order to offer effective reference for exploitation of domestic mountain tourism resource.Classification principles, evaluation methods, exploitation theory, exploitation principles and patterns are put forward for the exploitation of Yongchun county. These theories also have some applicability to other mountains. Especially, we first apply the combination evaluation method to the evaluation of mountain tourism resource, and divide different resource patterns into four kinds, that are advantage pattern, potential pattern, middle pattern and inferior pattern.Referring to the analysis of tourism resource, market, exploitation conditions and current situation, we bring forward exploitation strategies, measures, function division and design of tourism route.At last, we give a discussion about exploitation patterns of mountain tourism, mountain and ecotourism, the life cycle of mountain tourism and problems of development of mountain tourism and corresponding solutions. |
