The anthropogenic heat release from tourism activities has a cumulative effect on glacial retreat when coupled with climate change.Mitigating the impacts of glacial tourism activities on glaciers and promoting the sustainable development of glacial tourism have become urgent issues.Taking Yulong and Hailuogou glacier tourism destinations as examples,we collected survey questionnaires related to glacial tourists(n=1113)and tourism companies(n=329)by systematic field surveys during 2016–2017,and we obtained data on energy consumption from catering,accommodation,transportation,sightseeing,shopping,entertainment,and waste disposal.This study builds a responsible tourism system and discusses the strategies and measures used to engage stakeholders(mainly tourism companies,tourists,local governments,tourism associations,and the central government)in responsible tourism in order to reduce the impacts of tourism activities on glaciers.These strategies mainly include:improving the energy efficiency of the supply of tourism products and services,promoting the consumption of low-energy tourism products and services,strengthening the supervision and management of low-energy consumption tourism development,creating an environment for energy savings and consumption reduction,and establishing a long-term operational mechanism for responsible tourism management.A rewsponsible tourism system allows stakeholders to properly address this dilemma,internalize sustainable development goals to find their intrinsic self-discipline,and work together to fulfill the public responsibility of realizing the sustainable development of glacial tourism.

负责任旅游产生于大众旅游的发展进程中,能减轻大众旅游对环境的负面效应。为了解负责任旅游现状及存在问题,利用中国知网数据库和Web of Science数据库检索关于负责任旅游的研究文献,从概念、研究维度、旅游者行为、负责任政策以及实践应用等方面进行整理分析。研究发现,现阶段中国负责任旅游的研究成果较少,尚未形成独立的体系,并且负责任旅游与旅游实践存在一定的冲突。立足于中国负责任旅游的实际,从三个方面为中国负责任旅游实际开展提出对策建议。
