Study on the Coupling Coordination Between Shandong Tourism and Eco-Environment
The understanding of coupling relationship between tourism and eco-environment is important due to the complex interaction in environmental effects induced by tourism. This paper aims at introducing an indicator system and developing an integrated approach to evaluate the coupling coordination between tourism and eco-environment using panel data from 2001 to 2013 for Shandong Province, China. The findings revealed that coordination degree between the tourism and eco-environment of Shandong Province generally presents an upward tendency. Shandong Province should understand the most significant variables for the coupling coordination between tourism and eco-environment, and take effective measures to balance the relationship of tourism and eco-environment.
