- Abstract
Based on the introduction to the concept and calculation method of tourism ecological footprint, the tourism ecological footprints of 8 minority autonomous prefectures in Yunnan province are calculated and analyzed according to the data of the statistical yearbooks of Yunnan province in 2014. The results turn out the tourism ecological footprints in Wenshan Zhuang Autonomous Prefecture and Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture are status of strong surplus; Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture and Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture are weak surplus, while the other four minority autonomous prefectures are in status of deficit. And the average tourist ecological footprint of 8 minority autonomous is up to 1725 hm2, which is rather high relative to the total GDP of Yunnan tourism ecological footprint, the data shows that ethnic minority cultural tourism in those eight minority autonomous prefectures is relative well-developed, but the tourism ecological footprint deficit confirms that the human tourism load stays beyond the regional tourism bio-capacity, and the regional tourism natural ecosystem is under great pressure of human tourism activities.
