| Buddhist cultural heritage tourism development booms the accelerated development of utilization and protection in Buddhist cultural heritage studies. Stakeholder theory used in the heritage development and management is one of the mainstream trend research. This paper is based on tourism stakeholder theory, takes the early Buddhist heritage tourism development stakeholders as the research object, defines constituent elements, carries interest demands analysis and benefit game analysis. Then by using qualitative research methods——grounded research to demonstrate universal core stakeholder interest demands. Based on the above analysis, this paper draws three interest coordination paths of stakeholder in early Buddhist heritage tourism development.I believe that the development of early Buddhist cultural heritage tourism stakeholders are constituted by temple monks, tourism developers, local government, local residents, tourists, media, industry associations, academic institutions, political or economic or cultural environment, public, NGO and other11categories, and can be divided into three levels: the core layer, close layer, Edge layer. Using grounded research in mainly Buddhist temple of Xi’an Tourism in early development to verify and summarize the universal interest demands of core stakeholders (monastery monks, tourism developers, local government, local residents, tourists and other demands), and after game analysis between the core stakeholder, we can summary some conflicts: uneven benefits distribution between core stakeholders, some vulnerable groups lose the rights of participation and speaking, lack of communication between stakeholders, weak sense of cooperation.Focus on issues between the initial stakeholders in Buddhist cultural heritages’early tourism development, we propose to explore coordination of interests paths in three areas: Multi-level mechanism to empower, benefits communication and presentation mechanisms, mechanisms for multilateral cooperation and win-win. |
