“…(2000) argues, the potential of ecotourism as a wildlife conservation strategy is offset by its tendency to contribute directly to environmental degradation. Indeed, ecotourism was classified as, potentially, an insidious form of tourism for it introduced people into fragile areas often with little or no adequate planning (Shen et al 2008) and, worse still, could trigger an influx of mass tourists as the area becomes more popular (Luck 2002). Recent research on carbon emissions also suggests that the carbon footprint of the long-haul ecotourist is substantially larger than that of the traditional short hauL resort based tourist (Becken 2002;Becken and Hay 2007).…”

This review paper traces the evolution of ecotourism and the role academia has played in that evolution. Ecotourism arguably would not exist, and certainly would not exist in the form it is now, were it not for the active involvement of the academic community. Academics and academia have played a critical stewardship role in the conceptualization and operationalization of this activity, more so than any other form of tourism. Ecotourism has evolved, and is still evolving through three phases. The 'New Dawn' phase is typified by idealism, hyperbole and hope. It is followed quickly by a 'Crisis of Legitimacy,' where critics illustrate that the ecotourism largely fails to meet its social, economic and ecological ideals, that has not yet been resolved fully. Finally, ecotourism reaches maturity when it achieves the 'Sustainable Product Niche' phase where a realistic understanding of what it can and cannot do, emerges.

“…According to the basic idea described in Section 3.1, after performing the outer buffer zone transformation on the coastline, the next step is to extract the "bridging" skeleton line. The extraction of bridging skeleton lines is based on the extraction of coastline skeleton lines, and there are many methods for extracting line element skeleton lines [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][31][32][33][34][35]. In this paper, we first construct a constrained Delaunay triangulation network based on the data points on the coastline and extract the triangles located in the sea area.…”

Aiming at the problem that the current double direction buffering algorithm is easy to use to seal the “bottleneck” area when simplifying coastlines, an adaptive simplification method for coastlines using a skeleton line “bridge” double direction buffering algorithm is proposed. Firstly, from the perspective of visual constraints, the relationship between the buffer distance and the coastline line width and the minimum recognition distance of the human eye is theoretically derived and determined. Then, based on the construction of the coastline skeleton binary tree, the “bridge” skeleton line is extracted using the “source tracing” algorithm. Finally, the shoreline adaptive simplification is realized by constructing a visual buffer of “bridge” skeleton lines to bridge the original resulting coastline and the local details. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively solve the problem that the current double direction buffering algorithm has, which can significantly improve the quality of simplification.
