【摘要】 目的　研究溶洞型旅游地生命周期的特点,分析影响溶洞型旅游地生命周期的因素,并提出溶洞型旅游地开发、经营的若干相关建议.方法　以瑶琳洞自1980年开放以来历年的游客量统计数据为基础,结合国内其它溶洞的年游客量变化情况,归纳总结溶洞型旅游地生命周期的特点.结果　溶洞型旅游地生命周期一般表现出如下特点:1)自开发后直接进入快速发展阶段,游客量往往在正式开放后第3～4年达到最大值;2)由发展阶段直接进入衰落阶段,没有巩固与停滞阶段;3)经过一段时期的快速衰落后,年游客量将逐渐趋于稳定.结论　溶洞型旅游地的生命周期表现出先快速增长、再快速回落,随后又趋于稳定的模式.更多还原

【Abstract】 Objective This paper aimed at exploring the characteristics of the life cycle of Karst cave tourist areas, analyzing the factors affecting the life cycle and giving some suggestions about the development and management of Karst-cave tourist areas. Methods Based on the yearly number of tourists visiting Yaolin Cave since 1980,and combined with the data of other domestic Karst caves, the characteristics of the life cycle of Karst cave tourist areas were summarized. Results It was found that the life cycle of Karst cave tourist areas have the following characteristics: 1. After being developed, they were going to enter the development stage directly. The yearly number of tourists would reach the maximum after 3～4 years of opening. 2. From then on, they directly entered the decline stage, without experiencing a growth stage and a stagnation stage. 3. After a period of quick decline, the annual number of tourists tended to stabilize. Conclusions The life cycle of Karst cave tourist areas showed a up down stable mode.更多还原
