国外旅游生态效率研究综述

旅游生态效率由生态效率概念衍生而来,是一个描述旅游单位经济产出环境影响大小的变量。提升旅游生态效率可以获得双向效应,也就是在创造新的市场就业机会的同时,降低成本和减少环境影响。国外旅游生态效率相关研究成果集中于以下几个方面:生态效率的概念、特征与理论模型;旅游生态效率理论的演化与应用;旅游生态效率提升的规划及措施;旅游者对生态效率战略的感知与态度;旅游生态效率规划实施的动力与阻力等。国外旅游生态效率研究具有研究范围和视角比较宽泛、研究方法手段丰富多样、研究案例较为典型、研究结论实践应用价值较大等特征。深化旅游生态效率的理论研究和案例分析,不仅为旅游可持续发展研究开拓了一个新方向,也为低碳旅游、旅游碳交易、旅游碳税等政策的制定提供了科学依据,具有重要的理论创新和实践应用价值。

Review on Overseas Tourism Eco-Efficiency Studies

The conception of Tourism Eco-Efficiency was a derivative of Eco-Efficiency, which is an index describing the impacts of per unit of economics benefits on environment. In order to grasp the latest research trends in Tourism Eco-Efficiency, this paper analyzes a series of abroad academic achievements on Tourism Eco-Efficiency. Tourism Eco-efficiency has so far primarily been used in the context of industrial economics which has bidirectional effects of reducing costs and to create new market opportunities while at the same time decreasing the impact on the environment. Overseas research on Tourism Eco-Efficiency focused on following aspects: The concept and characteristic of Tourism Eco-Efficiency, the model of Tourism Eco-Efficiency, the application of Tourism Eco-Efficiency theory, the strategic planning for Tourism Eco-Efficiency, tourists' perceive and attitude to the Tourism Eco-Efficiency, the driving force and barriers of eco-efficiency planning management. Meanwhile, overseas Tourism Eco-Efficiency study presents certain characteristics: relatively broad research scope and perspective, the diversified research methods, more typical case studies, research findings having higher value of practical application. Foreign research about tourism Eco-Efficiency has very important revelation to domestic research, and is beneficial to the policy-maker and destination planners.
