Abstract:

The ecosystem in the upper reaches of the Yangzi river basin in Yunnan Province, China (Lijiang area) is suffering a striking decline. With this case as an example, this article will examine how the partnership between the government, local community, and tourists can be developed toward the goal of sustainable forest management, and furthermore, the establishment of a local -ased global community. These findings are based on an on-the-spot inspection carried out by an NGO organized by the authors.

Tourism, Culture & Communication is international in its scope and will place no restrictions upon the range of cultural identities covered, other than the need to relate to tourism and hospitality. The Journal seeks to provide interdisciplinary perspectives in areas of interest that may branch away from traditionally recognized national and indigenous cultures, for example, cultural attitudes toward the management of tourists with disabilities, gender aspects of tourism, sport tourism, or age-specific tourism.
