  • Prospects of Ecotourism in Hong Kong: a Case Study on Tung Ping Chau
    Prospects of Ecotourism in Hong Kong: A Case Study on Tung Ping Chau Paul Gasper Shuimiao Ge Amy Loomis Shelby Miller March 2nd, 2012 i | P a g e PROSPECTS OF ECOTOURISM IN HONG KONG: A CASE STUDY ON TUNG PING CHAU An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in cooperation with The Hong Kong Institute of Education Submitted on March 2nd, 2012 Submitted By: Submitted To: Paul Gasper Dr. Dennis Hui, Sponsor Liaison Shuimiao Ge Project Advisors: Amy Loomis Professor Chrysanthe Demetry Shelby Miller Professor Richard Vaz This report represents the work of four WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, please see http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Project i | P a g e ABSTRACT Hong Kong is actively developing ecotourism through its Global Geopark. A case study of the Geopark site on Tung Ping Chau, completed in conjunction with Dr. Hui Lai Hang Dennis and the Hong Kong Institute of Education, reveals that ineffective public consultation has led to frustration and skepticism among stakeholders regarding the future development of ecotourism. As a result of this case study, recommendations are made that might offer a more sustainable future for ecotourism on Tung Ping Chau with broader implications in Hong Kong. i | P a g e EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ecotourism has been the fastest growing sector of the tourism industry worldwide since the early 1990s (The International Ecotourism Society, 2012).
