Analysis of the Current Situation and Future Prospects of Tourism Development in the Mentougou Mountainous Area

Abstract

Mentougou District is well-known for its hilly landscape and draws a large number of tourists sightseeing each year from Beijing's metropolitan region. Tourists have been deeply impacted by both the distinctive natural setting and the voluminous cultural artifacts. This study will analyze the benefits and drawbacks of the natural and cultural environment in the Mentougou mountainous area for the development of the tourism industry, mainly exploring tourism resources, transportation facilities, supporting service facilities, and other aspects. Based on the research results, combined with relevant literature, and drawing on the development experience of similar regions, effective suggestions are proposed for the development of tourism in the Mentougou mountainous area. This research suggests that Mentougou mountainous region's natural and cultural resources are ideally suited for the growth of tourism, and the advantages of this growth exceed the drawbacks. Developing landscape amusement projects, constructing transportation lines and service facilities, and strengthening the supervision of businesses are three suggestions proposed in this paper.
