Abstract

There are contrasting developments on both sides of the boundary. On the Mainland side, Shenzhen has been developed from a small town into a bustling major city with a large population. On the Hong Kong side, however, some of the Frontier Closed Area (FCA) and its adjacent area, such as Sha Tao Kok, especially Lin Ma Hang are still rural in nature. Since increasing concern for environment, ecotourism is believed to be the fastest growing tourism segment. Ecotourism can be introduced to Sha Tau Kok to stimulate the local economy, benefit local communities and aid in conservation of natural resources. However, in order to reach the goals, effective plan and management of this historical place are very significant to contain traveler impacts within an acceptable limitation and keep the destination sustainable.
