Rethinking the Sustainable Development of Tourism Based on the Theory of Limited Resources

资源有限条件下讨论旅游业的可持续性对未来旅游业的健康发展具有指导意义。本文基于增长极限论和杰文斯悖论，对旅游的可持续性进行了反思，认为现今大力发展旅游促经济的模式会加速旅游活动对自然资源、能源的消耗和生物圈的枯竭。未来旅游业发展应回归理性，遵循增长极限的规律，从规模控制、技术创新、需求引导、制度保障四个维度构建系统性解决方案，才能实现旅游业真正意义上的可持续发展。Under the condition of limited resources, discussing the sustainability of tourism has guiding significance for the healthy development of tourism in the future. Based on the growth limit theory and Jevons paradox, this paper reconsiders the sustainability of tourism. The current mode of promoting economy by tourism will accelerate the consumption of natural resources, energy and the depletion of biosphere. The future development of the tourism industry should return to rationality, follow the law of growth limits, and construct systematic solutions from four dimensions: scale control, technological innovation, demand guidance, and institutional guarantee, so as to achieve the truly sustainable development of the tourism industry.
