Features: The development of the contemporary tourism industry has prompted tourism management authorities and research institutions in various countries to pay increasing attention to the development and planning of tourism landscapes. China's tourism industry started relatively late, and many potential or already marketed tourism areas face issues in development, planning, and management. What development model should be adopted for potential tourism areas? How can existing scenic areas achieve coordinated development in social, economic, and environmental aspects? How can a tourism area determine its development orientation, organize its source market, define its development content and forms, secure funding, plan its layout, protect the environment, and promote its marketing? And how can scientific and effective management measures be implemented to ensure the sustainable and coordinated development of the tourism area—these are key issues in the development and planning of tourism areas. This book attempts to explore these aspects. Of course, society is a complex system, the tourism industry is a vast undertaking, and the modern world is an information-rich and rapidly changing era. It is obviously impossible and difficult to describe and perfect a complex tourism regulation and management system through a single book. This book aims to spark further discussion.
