Abstract

China's deserts are widely distributed and large, and desert tourism has a broad space for development as a characteristic tourism. China's desert tourism industry is in a stage of rapid development. However, due to the lack of regional characteristics, the brand effect of desert tourism is not obvious at present. Desert tourist attractions are mostly far away from cities and traffic arteries, and the development cost of scenic spots is high. It is difficult to construct and protect roads in desert areas, and the distance between scenic spots (scenic spots) is long, resulting in long tourist routes, high time and economic costs, and weak market competitiveness. The sustainable development of desert tourism objectively requires the integration of the ecological, cultural, and exploration functions of the desert, and gives full play to the unique advantages of desert tourism in the national tourism development pattern.
