Abstract

Immense amounts of empirical studies have shown that ecotourism is a wise choice of human beings to develop tourism in the process of dealing with environmental crisis. By embedding the core ideas of ecotourism into urban tourism, urban ecotourism is an extension of applying ecotourism theory to urban environment and a significant way to achieve urban sustainability. However, due to a complex of reasons, the research and practice of urban ecotourism is far from ideal. Viewing from the core ideas and controversial focus of traditional ecotourism theory, this paper demonstrates the inevitability of promoting ecotourism in cities, and points out that, after applying ecotourism theory to urban environment, instead of being intensified, the controversy would be eliminated or effectively alleviated as long as with scientific management and control. As a powerful way to resolve the disputes on traditional ecotourism theory, urban ecotourism provides a vast space for the expansion of urban ecotourism.
