Research on Tourism Economic Development from the Perspective of Ecological Security: A Case Study of Xi'an

Abstract

The research on the process of interaction between urban ecological security and tourism economy has a positive impact on the coordinated development of population, society, economy and environment. Taking Xi'an as an example, this paper uses the data from 2010 to 2015 to construct an evaluation index system, determines the weight based on the entropy method, and uses the coordinated development model to evaluate and analyse the coordinated development level of ecological security and tourism economy in Xi'an. The results show that the comprehensive evaluation index of tourism economy and ecological security in Xi'an from 2010 to 2015 is on the rise, and the type of coordinated development presents an obvious stage development, from the declining recession in 2010-2011 to the coordinated development in 2012-2015. There is a benign interaction and coordinated development relationship between the tourism economy and the ecological security system.
