Sustainable Development of Rural Tourism in Guangdong Based on Remote Sensing and GIS

Abstract

Abstract The economic development and the improvement of people’s living quality promote the development of tourism. The acceleration of urbanization has given birth to rural tourism industry. Guangdong has a relatively high economic level and is rich in rural tourism resources which are of rural characteristics. As a result, rural tourism in Guangdong started earlier and has begun to take shape. However, in the context of new urbanization, there are still a series of problems in the development of rural tourism in Guangdong, which restrict the sustainable development of rural tourism in Guangdong. In order to promote the further development of rural tourism in Guangdong, it is necessary to carry out in-depth research and analysis of its reality. Taking Guangdong rural tourism as an example, on the basis of remote sensing and GIS technology, with the help of such research methods as Gini index, geographic concentration index and geographical connection rate, this paper analyzes the space characteristics and resource types of rural tourism in Guangdong and discovers the problems existing in its sustainable development.
