Ethnic Tourism

...

Some people argue that although ethnic tourism can contribute to economic because it has also caused environmental pollution.Due to the lack of adequate awareness of environmental protection, some residents piled everywhere agricultural and domestic wastes, sewage discharged anywhere, tourists littering, the ethnic tourist area caused by the behavior of water, air and soil pollution. Also, the noise caused by the waste gas and the operation of the tourism and recreation facilities of the vehicle emission, it causes the scenic spots to form multiple pollutions, and the ecological quality of the national tourism area is reduced (Pyke, 2016). However, if the government should give full play to the leading role, from the policy, funds, information, and education to guide the development of national efficiently solve the environmental problems.Meanwhile, the government should take measures to strengthen the legislation of tourism, especially the national tourism environment and tourism resources protection law, regulate and restrict the bad tourism economic behavior (Liu, 2010). So the government takes measures to develop the ethnic tourism, it can have improved the development of economics greatly.

There is no doubt that the ethnic tourism should be encouraged, the reason why is that the expansion of ethnic tourism can bring not only a lot of economic benefits but also promote cultural exchanges. However, the government has the responsibility to supervise the ethnic tourism, to reduce environmental pollution. Give some suggestions to the government and national tourism companies. First, the importance of the environmental protection of the tourism area should be recognized by the National Tourism Corporation. Second, under the management of the local government, the tourism industry should comply with the conditions of the use and development of land use. Third, for the local people and the local tourism management department, they also have the responsibility to track the impact of the formation of ethnic tourism and reduce its harm, especially the environment and culture. Fourth, the government should give more support, including financial support, information exchange, improve infrastructure. As long as the government under the supervision of the development of ethnic tourism, it should be encouraged to develop to promote economic development and cultural exchanges.
