The triple-parameters stochastic dynamics of ecological tourism system
Abstract
The visitor education programmes are the most effective and light handed management strategies to address the visitation-related resource and culture impacts in the protected areas. The triple-parameters stochastic dynamics of ecological tourism system is proposed to study the efficacy of the visitor education intervention. The model assumes that the intrinsic increasing rate of stakeholders, the immigration rate of stakeholders outside the system, the emigration rate of stakeholders from the inner system are both stochastically perturbed by the visitor education intervention. The simulations result shows that the ecological tourism system develops steadily and sustainably, when employing effective visitor education intervention programmes.
