Abstract :
The study on ecotourism system carrying capacity is an effective way to realize sustainable development of ecotourism. Basing on systematic theory, it brings up the idea that the ecotourism system carrying capacity consists of four parts, including the carrying capacity subsystems of ecotourism resources, ecotourism environment, ecotourism participants, and ecotourism. It gives the key elements of the carrying capacity subsystem individually. The paper analyzes the carrying capacity of subsystems and ecotourism system by using systematic dynamics theory, explains the influence of relative factors for subsystem carrying capacity. It provides references for ecotourism system carrying capacity.
