Abstract

Eco-tourism plays a significant role in promoting the sustainable development of the tourism industry. Chongming's eco-tourism significantly lags behind the overall positioning of an excellent ecological island in terms of resource utilization, product development, and consumer satisfaction. The article has conducted a preliminary sorting of the ecological tourism resources in the Chongming area, clarifying the types of resources and focusing on analyzing the unique advantages of its natural resources. Through research methods such as on-site investigations, the article reveals the practical challenges and constraints faced by Chongming's eco-tourism in aspects such as development planning, market mechanism construction, and transportation infrastructure. Against the backdrop of the current era of high-quality development, this study further explores the role of ecological tourism as a new fulcrum for promoting the economic and social development of the region. Specifically, the article proposes a series of development paths, aiming to provide some strategic guidance for the sustainable development of the Chongming area's ecological tourism industry from aspects such as special planning, establishment of development principles, strengthening the market position of tourism enterprises, optimization of transportation conditions, and innovative development of ecological tourism products.
