%X Tourism is the main factor driving regional water environmental change in eco-tourism areas. Using Liupan Mountain as a case study, we analyzed emissions resulting from various forms of tourism and respective patterns of water quality disturbance using participant observation, questionnaires and comparative analysis. We found that tourist accommodation releases the most emission pollution, tourism catering ranks second and sightseeing is third. Per capita TN, TP, COD and BOD5 for tourist accommodation is up to 4.03g/d, 0.66g/d, 37.59g/d and 8.72g/d, more than ten times that for sightseeing. The Tourist Activities Disturbance Index (TADI) per person of various oriented types falls systematically: business meeting-oriented tourists(1) >leisure vacation-oriented tourists (0.57) >scientific investigation-oriented tourists (0.19) > sightseeing-oriented tourists (0). The TADI of the amount tourists of various types falls systematically: leisure vacation-oriented tourists (1) > business meeting-oriented tourists (0.51) > sightseeing-oriented tourists (0.33) >scientific investigation-oriented tourists(0). Business meeting-oriented tourists, leisure vacation-oriented tourists, scientific investigation-oriented tourists and sightseeing-oriented tourists show a pattern of declining requirements for tourist accommodation and catering and discharge sewage. TADI has a certain consistency with water quality change, which can be used as a simple and effective indicator to evaluate tourism system response to disturbance. The Liupan Mountain eco-tourism area remains in an important strategic transition period. In this period, sightseeing tourism is the base and business-meeting tourism and leisure vacation tourism will be a developing focus into the future. Water environment problems in the tourist areas will become more prominent. Thus, it is urgent that effective measures are taken to solve the deterioration of water quality in the tourist area resulting from tourism transformation and upgrading. For example, improving the water-saving awareness of tourists and tourism managers and strengthening sewage treatment planning, design and subsequent treatment are viable strategies for change. Only if the above measures are implemented well will disturbance from tourism activities decrease and sustainable development be realized.
