Exploration on Value Compensation Mechanism for Ecotourism Resources

In recent years, China's ecotourism has had an unprecedented development at a rapid speed and has brought about great economic benefits. At the same time, the problem of destruction of ecotourism resources and declining environmental quality is also becoming increasingly prominent. One important reason is that China's ecotourism resources protection arrangement and has seriously lagged behind the development of ecotourism. There is little or no compensation for the value accordingly while exploiting the ecotourism resources. It is extremely urgent to establish value compensation mechanism for ecotourism resources. This paper discussed how to build value compensation mechanism for ecotourism resources. Three avenues were put forward, viz. self-compensation, social compensation, and government compensation.
