Dynamic simulation of regional sustainable tourism development system
Based on sustainable development theory, sustainable tourism development system was established which was made up of population subsystem, society subsystem, resource subsystem, environment subsystem and tourism subsystem. A system dynamics model, which could describe the relations among the components in the sustainable tourism development system and its development, was built, using system dynamics. The system dynamical model was realized by software tool VENSIM. As an application of this model, a simulation was carried on of sustainable tourism development in Tibet. A best development pattern is presented through regulation of several key indexes, aiding to promote sustainable tourism development in Tibet.
