Abstract

The existing models that measure the environmental pollution impact of ecotourism suffer from the problems of low success rate and poor accuracy. We propose a new model to evaluate the environmental pollution impact better. Environmental pollution data are first obtained from the scenic areas of ecotourism. Then, based on the primary parameters of scenic spots, pollution coefficients are determined, and conversion data are used to construct a model to evaluate the pollution impact of ecotourism on scenic spots. Based on the analysis of carbon emission amounts, the monetary value of environmental pollution is determined. Experimental results are provided to show that our proposed model performs better than the existing models.
