Features: This is a research report on the development of Chinese tourist destinations. The book is divided into five sections: "Theoretical Research," "Special Reports," "Case Studies," "International Dynamics," and a chronicle of major events in tourist destination development. The intention of this book is to create a research collection similar to an annual report, focusing on the development of Chinese tourist destinations. Its significance lies in continuously tracking the development status of Chinese tourist destinations, studying the development of tourist destinations and related issues, summarizing the experiences and lessons learned in the development process, and providing a window for government departments, planners, managers, and enterprises of tourist destinations across China to gain insights into the progress of theoretical and practical research on tourist destination development. This will effectively promote the healthy development of tourist destinations in China. The development of tourist destinations is not limited to the development of local tourism. The issue of tourist destination development is fundamentally a social development issue. Tourist destinations are also commonly referred to as tourist sites. The development of tourism in tourist destinations within the natural load capacity of their environment can lead to natural environmental damage that may achieve adaptive recovery within the limits of natural regeneration. Tourist activities not only bring economic benefits to tourist destinations but also foster social and cultural transformations locally. Tourist destinations must have clear characteristics to distinguish themselves from other destinations. The measurement of tourist destination development requires a series of indicators to reflect it. In the face of tourism development, the development of local society is inherently adaptive.
