Since the core contents of “low-carbon economy†and “low-carbon life†were proposed, the concept of “low-carbon tourism†was also incorporated into the outline of national tourism development. This signified the development of traditional tourism from extensive formal to green. , Eco-friendly development model of environmental change.
Recently, the China Youth Daily Travel Weekly jointed Tencent.com to conduct an online survey of “Is You Low-Carbon Tourism?â€. Of the netizens who participated in the survey, 86.51% were in favor of developing low-carbon tourism and believed that “low-carbon tourism should be strongly promoted and promotedâ€. Low-carbon tourism is gradually entering people’s lives and becoming a new way of tourism. However, when asked, "If you understand the concept of 'low-carbon tourism'", 51.59 percent said that they do not understand the concept of low-carbon tourism.
"Low-carbon" Becomes a New Fashion for Youth Tourism
Tired and happy is the first time Dong Jiahui tried to walk through. In August 2010, he and 12 students carried tents, sleeping bags, moisture-proof pads, pots, instant noodles, and small gas cans and crossed Huangcaoliang for two days and nights. Dong Jiahui is a sophomore at the School of Earth and Space Sciences at Peking University. In his view, the most important thing about this trip is that he has a deeper experience in low-carbon travel. “We collected all the rubbish in the process of crossing, packed in backpacks, and carried garbage along the way.â€
At the moment when the low-carbon concept continues to spread, there are more and more young people like Dong Jiahui who choose low-carbon travel. Various NGO and university associations that advocate green environmental protection and low-carbon travel have also been established one after another. One of them is the Beijing Forestry University’s Shanuo Conference. In the summer of 2007, members of the Shannuo Club walked from Beijing to Hangzhou to investigate the protection of water resources on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. They also traveled through Xinjiang Bogda for four days in the summer of 2008 to investigate the protection of Tianshan Saussurea.
“I like this way of travel. I can plan my journey freely and fully integrate with nature on the premise of ensuring safety.†Today, the Beijing Forestry University’s Shannuo Meeting through Xinjiang’s Bogda team captain Liu Yaping’s memories of his trekking experience Still new, this also made her a pioneer in environmental protection: "Seeing the fragile natural environment and the harmed wildlife further strengthened my environmental protection philosophy. No matter what others do, I do it myself. From the start of small things, to influence the people around them." College students' attention and practice of low-carbon travel play an important role in the promotion of low-carbon tourism in China.
Many people began to consciously or unconsciously use low-carbon as the new connotation of tourism. According to the survey, as to the question “What is your attitude toward carpooling?â€, respondents who selected “energy conservation and environmental protection and support carpooling†accounted for about 60% of the total. 26.91% of respondents stated that they “very willing†to become volunteers of low-carbon environmental organizations to promote the concept and knowledge of low-carbon tourism, and another 65.08% of respondents said that “when time permits, participate".
Low-carbon tourism promotes the low carbonization of upstream industries
"Low-carbon tourism" is an inevitable trend and choice for the development of tourism in today's green living environment. In the eyes of Prof. Li Xinjian, director of the Department of Tourism Management at Beijing Second Foreign Language Institute, low-carbon tourism has good prospects for development and can inject more energy into the sustainable development of the national economy.
“Because tourism is the ultimate consumer, the idea of ​​upholding low-carbon in tourism will surely be traced back through the industrial chain, which will affect the supply of upstream industries and will have a positive impact on promoting the low-carbon development of the upstream industry.†said Li Xinjian. For example, bicycle tourism can be better developed in the context of a low-carbon economy, which will have a positive effect on promoting the development and transformation of bicycle manufacturing enterprises. Hiking tourism may also become fashionable, which sets new requirements for the equipment required for hiking tourism and promotes the tourism equipment industry. “In short, the low-carbon tourism approach is a way to promote domestic demand that is in line with the scientific outlook on development and is healthier and more responsible. It contributes significantly to the development of the regional economy and tourism-related industries,†said Li Xinjian.
The survey was asked "From a practical point of view, when you think about the feasibility of 'low-carbon tourism', the number of respondents who chose to "difficult to operate" accounted for 68.25%, and only 28.57% of those surveyed thought that " It is highly feasible to promote 'low-carbon life' today. Zhang Huwei of China University of Science and Technology believes that from the current tourism environment, the transition from “extensive†to “low-carbon†is difficult to practice. Because there are still many tourists who throw litter at the scenic area, scribbling, and use disposable items while staying at the hotel. Shen Ye students of Peking University believe that if it is impossible to force tourists to “low-carbon†tourism facilities and services, it is very difficult to promote low-carbon awareness and make tourism behavior low-carbonization. After all, “people are all in pursuit of enjoymentâ€. .
Low-carbon tourism is not so difficult to imagine
How can we better promote "low-carbon tourism" and promote the improvement of the tourism environment? The survey results show that 77% of the respondents believe that “tourists’ awareness of environmental protection and tourism concept change†are the most important; followed by “government’s policy support for related industries and research and development of environmental protection technologies†and “carbonization of scenic spots infrastructure. "Moreover," 37.3% of the respondents chose "Travel agencies need to provide more low-carbon tourism products to choose from".
In response to this problem, Professor Li Xinjian believes that the key to developing low-carbon tourism is to strengthen the reform of traditional tourism enterprises, especially to continue to strengthen the hotel's energy-saving and emission reduction work, implement a strict energy management system, and guide consumers to establish environmental protection and energy conservation awareness. In this process, we must give full play to the role of modern science and technology in energy conservation and emission reduction, and guide the concept of green hotels and circular economy into tourism enterprises.
"The transformation of people's consciousness requires a process and may not be able to make fundamental changes in the short term, but it is optimistic in the long run." Li Xinjian said. The survey revealed that when asked, "If you let yourself practice 'low-carbon tourism', what do you think you can do (multiple choices)?" "Reduce as much as possible the use of disposable items in tourism activities." This is the easiest thing to do. About 63% of the respondents chose this item; secondly, “as much as possible using public transport†and “trying hiking and biking, and other new tourism methods†(accounted for separately 60% and 52%). Li Xueping, who lives in Beijing Tiantongyuan, has developed a habit of traveling with toiletries. “Hotels in Western European countries are generally not equipped with disposable items. If customers really need it, they can go to the front desk to pick it up,†he said. From his point of view, starting from small things, low-carbon tourism is far more difficult than imagined.
