- Abstract
Wuling Gorge area in Zhushan county, Hubei province, is a typical karst distribution in western Hubei and it is part of "Western Hubei ecological and cultural tourism circle". In order to protect the fragile karst ecosystem, and achieve a reasonable development of local ecotourism, the authors in this paper choose Wuling Gorge Geological Park as a study area. Based on RMP analysis theory, after a thorough literature review, the authors analyze and summarize relative studies, then adopt qualitative and quantitative evaluation method. Then, R analysis is adopted to evaluate the ecotourism resources in Wuling Gorge geological Park. And SWOT analysis is conducted to have a P analysis for tourism product development, which tells the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the tourism products. With the help of the above analyses, the authors propose to develop the Wuling Gorge Geopark ecological tourism and suggest measures to guarantee the development. Thus, the authors not only provide an important theoretical reference for the development, planning and designing of this area, but also may guarantee the local sustainable tourism development by healthy interaction between geopark tourism and eco-environment.
