The theoretical underpinnings and practical approaches of green and low-carbon development in the tourism industry within the framework of Chinese-style modernization
The development policies,strategies,tactics,measures,and work arrangements of China's modern tourism industry must be seamlessly integrated into the ongoing process of Chinese-style modernization.Across various dimensions such as achieving common prosperity,coordinating the development of material and spiritual civilization,fostering harmonious coexistence between humans and nature,and ensuring the peaceful development of human society,there exists a mutual dependence and support between Chinese-style modernization and the green,low-carbon development of the tourism industry,demonstrating a strong intrinsic correlation.The green and low-carbon development of the tourism industry stands as a crucial component of Chinese-style modernization,with the latter providing guidance for the former.While China's tourism industry has made notable progress in green and low-carbon development in the new era,there is room for improvement in terms of raising awareness,urgently enhancing relevant institutional systems,boosting the effectiveness of energy conservation and emission reduction,and strengthening the collaborative efforts along the entire industry chain.In the course of Chinese-style modernization,the green and low-carbon development of China's tourism industry must adhere to the principle of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.This involves promoting a virtuous cycle where green environmental resources are preserved alongside economic prosperity.The industry should diversify and enhance the supply of high-quality green and low-carbon products,ensuring the coordination and equilibrium of various complex interest relationships.By consistently reinforcing awareness,refining institutional systems,innovating the form and content of green and low-carbon tourism offerings,and intensifying collaboration along the entire industry chain,China aims to contribute to a new and positive chapter in the journey of the tourism industry within the context of Chinese-style modernization.
