Evaluation of Tourism Environmental Carrying Capacity in Diaoshuihu National Forest Park

Received: 27 January 2020 Accepted: 9 April 2020 In recent years, rural tourism has become a hot topic in the academia. Many researchers have proposed to alleviate the poverty of farmers and revitalize rural areas through rural tourism. This paper fully quantifies the tourism environmental carrying capacity (TECC) of Diaoshuihu National Forest Park (DNFP), and evaluates the current status of rural tourism near the scenic spot. Four criteria were selected according to the actual situation of the scenic spot. The TECC of the DNFP was evaluated by Pascal’s Principle and then through analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Based on the evaluation results, several suggestions were put forward to promote the scenic spot-based rural tourism in and around the DNFP. The results show that the TECC of the DNFP was 6,160 persons, the annual TECC was 985,600 person/year, indicating that the scenic spot is under weak load. The local government is advised to optimize the design and implementation of DNFP-based rural tourism from four aspects: enhancing the integration between scenic spot and nearby villages, rationalizing the income distribution system, training talents for scenic spot-based rural tourism, and stepping up government guidance on rural tourism. The research results provide a reference for similar cases of scenic spot-driven rural tourism.
