创建盐城国家滨海湿地公园的构想——江苏淤泥质海岸生态旅游发展的新思路

The main of Jiangsu coast is muddy coast,which is not conductive to traditional tourism.So compared with the coast tourism income of Shandong province and Zhejiang province,Jiangsu is in an inferior position although it has abundant wetland tourism resources.Nowadays modern sustainable ecotourism theory has been accepted widely and the wetland has become the most attractive tourism destination all over the world,which provides the possibility to develop the wetland ecotourism in Jiangsu muddy coast.This article presented the tourism resources of Jiangsu muddy coast firstly.In order to choose the key developing area, the traveling value and the potential of each tourism landform were evaluated by Analytic Hierachy Process(AHP) based on the ecotourism theory and the sustainable development theory.The result shows that most high-value potential tourism attractions are centralized on Yancheng coast,such as the Yancheng National Nature Reserve and Dafeng Elaphurus davidianus and the National Nature Reserve.So it is an appropriate area in Jiangsu to develop ecotourism.But the muddy coast is one of the most fragile ecosystems on the earth,for it is affected by land ecosystem and sea ecosystem,besides its primary productivity is limited.In view of the fact that most tourism will destroy ecosystem,setting up a national wetland park in Yancheng for ecotourism is a good choice,for it can protect the coastal wetland ecosystem as well as develop the coastal community.Based on the reasons of setting up the national park,the principles of programming and management of the national wetland park were brought forth and the scope and structure of the national park were also marked off.Considering that the park is vast and the invaluable wetland ecosystem must be protected,therefore the ecotourism development should be made by stages based on the characteristics and exploitation conditions of each part.So the exploiting strategy has been ascertained.Above all this paper provides a new idea of the ecotourism development and the exploitation of the wetland resources in Jiangsu muddy coast.
