Abstract:
Eco-efficiency of pro-poor tourism is an important index to measure input and output of pro-poor tourism，which means the eco-economic efficiency of pro-poor tourism. From the perspective of farmer participation, the indices of input and output for eco-efficiency of pro-poor tourism are built.Taking the four villages of Liujiachuan, Jingjiawan, Guzui and Xiaocheng in Yanan city as case studies, 89 households have been surveyed.Based on interviewing and questionnaires, eco-efficiency of pro-poor tourism has been calculated. The results showed that the overall eco-efficiency of pro-poor tourism is low, mean value is 0.59. Technical efficiency of pro-poor tourism has great influence on overall eco-efficiency,and scale efficiency of pro-poor tourism is well. Among the input indexes of pro-poor tourism, the amount of water and carbon emissions of tourism have much redundancy. Finally, some countermeasures for promoting the eco-efficiency of pro-poor tourism are put forward.
