low-carbon tourism, for example, offering
appropriation or loan with low even no in-
terest; the design and low-carbon tourism
development can enjoy special offer in tax
or subsidy; R&D for low-carbon technol-
ogy can have financial support etc. On the
other side, people will adopt compulsory
and binding standardization, supervision
and management to have low-carbon stan-
dard inspection in scenic spot periodically.
If it exceeds the ruled CO
2
emission stan-
dard, it has to get some penalty including
degradation, fine etc. Supervision and reg-
ulation in these two aspects will effectively
promote the development of low-carbon
economy.
ecological design authentication, clean
production authentication, energy-saving
product authentication, environment pro-
tection authentication etc., according to
their specific products. These authentica-
tions with international standard can help
to enhance enterprises image and quality
level of service and product.
•
Strengthening ideological education of
mass participation in low-carbon tourism.
On one hand, government and tourism en-
terprises will create low-carbon consump-
tion fashion and positive low-carbon con-
sumption atmosphere by education channel
such as television, broadcasting, magazine
and network etc. On the other hand, tourism
enterprises will monitor and standardize
visitor's behavior and then popularize rel-
evant environmental-friendly knowledge
about low-carbon tourism by brochure,
mark system in scenic spot, environmen-
tal-friendly theme education. What's more,
in youth education, school is a best place
to organize environmental-friendly theme
activity of “low-carbon tourism”, to col-
lect environmental-friendly compositions,
to have low-carbon tourism practice etc,
which can enhance youth's low-carbon
environmental-friendly consciousness.
While in mass education for adults, low-
carbon consumption or low-carbon life
can be advocated. For example, usage of
environmental-friendly bag, adjustment of
air-conditioner in the room, recycle usage
of life materials, the employment of public
transportation, the public's enthusiasm on
low-carbon consumption can be motivated
by the ways of encouragement, special of-
fer even points or lottery.
•
Drafting assessment index system of low-
carbon tourism and carrying out tourism
enterprise authentication. Government
should play the leading role in organizing
people from various sectors to build a spe-
cial team for making assessment index sys-
tem of low-carbon tourism. Their responsi-
bilities involve selecting standard, making
low-carbon tourism evaluation index sys-
tem for chosen low-carbon tourism area,
and eventually drafting a low-carbon as-
sessment index system which fits for tour-
ism characteristics which mainly includes
energy consumption index, CO
2
emission
index, waste discharge index, resource
utilization ratio index, waste recovery and
recycling utilization ratio index etc. All
these indexes can comprehensively indi-
cate development of tourism economy, re-
source utility and environment protection
etc so as to meet the needs of low energy
consumption, pollution and emission etc.
When standard is established, people can
try to have an assessment authentication
of low-carbon tourism demonstration area
to start preliminary demonstration verifi-
cation. What's more, various enterprises

Speeding up the R&D procedure of low-
carbon economic technology. People will
increase international cooperation and
communication of low-carbon technology,
