An Investigative Study On The Problems Of Sustainability In A Historic Chinese Water Town As A Cultural Tourism Destination

Abstract

This Article examines sustainability challenges in the context of one Chinese cultural tourism destination, Wuzhen, a historic water town, by looking at traveler reviews on the travel website TripAdvisor. Chinese tourist locations still face several issues in sustainable development. Tourists' viewpoints are rarely taken into account in previous research on Chinese tourism difficulties, which instead focus on the perspectives of locals, tourism organisations, and governments. Given the lack of attention given to sustainability concerns in the academic literature and China's rapidly expanding tourist sector, research into China's cultural tourism destinations is more important than ever. Wuzhen was selected as the study location because it is a well-known example of a traditional Chinese town. Sustainable tourism in Wuzhen has been shown to be successful through an examination of TripAdvisor reviews. Tourists had nothing but good things to say about their time in Wuzhen, and everyone involved reaped their fair share of the rewards. This research provides strong evidence that other cultural heritage sites can take a lot of lessons from" Wuzhen.
