Adaptation management of mountain tourism service: the case of the source regions of the Yangtze and Yellow River

Abstract: Mountain areas are often rich in ecological diversity and recreational opportunities. Mountain tourism is thought to be an effective and important means for maintaining and expanding rural economies and, thus, improving the living conditions of rural societies. As mountain tourism service research is a professional field with several disciplines involved, a multi-disciplinary management platform is needed and it facilitates participation in sustainable mountain development by diverse stakeholders.

“…Generally, the whole region can be roughly divided into four vertical climate zones: Mid-subtropical climate in hilly and valley areas, northern subtropical climate in low-altitude mountain areas, northern temperate climate in middle mountain areas, and the middle temperate climate in mountain areas above 1500 m of sea level. Different vertical climatic zones in mountain areas affect the distribution of temperature, moisture, soil, animals and plants, resulting in various and distinctive geographical, hydrographic, ecological, or climatic landscapes [46]. Tourism planners should grasp the distribution of tourism resources and master the spatial and temporal characteristics of different landscapes so that they are able to develop high-quality tourist attractions and design reasonable tourist sightseeing routes adapting to seasonal changes and spatial variation to avoid singularity and repetition of tourism products.…”

“…The source regions of the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers are located at the east of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is an important part of the QinghaiTibet Plateau (Fang et al 2009) (Figure 1). The Yangtze River is over 6000 km long.…”

“…Its watershed covers areas of 6.48×10 4 km 2 ). The region is very sensitive to climatic changes due to its delicate thermal balance and the strong monsoon influence Fang et al 2009). At the same time, due to the effects of the rain shadow of the Himalayas, the high elevation, cold and dry climate, the principle part of the region has a typical plateau continental climate.…”

“…En este escenario, es bueno nombrar el concepto conocido como turismo en ríos tropicales de alta montaña, el cual se refiere a la práctica de realizar excursiones, actividades acuáticas y aventuras en los cursos de agua que fluyen a través de las cadenas montañosas de regiones tropicales (Fang et al, 2009). Estas áreas son el hábitat de una diversidad de especies de flora y fauna únicas, lo que convierte a esta experiencia en una oportunidad para explorar y apreciar la biodiversidad de estos ecosistemas.…”
