“…However, numerous studies have focused on determining attributes and measuring tourists' utility based on park regulations. Juntine et al adopted "the expected number of tourists" as an attribute to represent park management measures [16]; Mao Biqi, Suresh et al and other scholars chose "the enlargement scope of park development [29,30]; Chaminuka et al used "accommodation" business held by indigenous communities to describe the concession condition of national parks [31]. Moreover, there are studies that have cited other attributes, such as the restriction of daily tourist flow [17], the crowding level [18,[32][33][34][35] and the park visibility [36].…”

“…Therefore, improving the quality of the ecological environment will also provide greater ecological perceived value to tourists. In related studies, most scholars have considered setting attributes from the ecological dimension, mainly focusing on ecological evaluation indexes such as forest coverage [15,18,32,43], water quality [15,18,33], habitat quality [29] and biodiversity [11,16,43].…”

It is necessary for national parks to exert multiple forms of influence. One innovative function of national parks is leisure and recreation. By optimizing the recreation function, national parks can enhance public participation and tourists’ willingness to pay to achieve sustainable development. This paper surveys 435 tourists in Wuyishan National Park with a discrete choice experiment, applies mixed logit models to explore their preferences for recreational attributes from three dimensions and analyzes the heterogeneity. The findings indicate that attributes such as the number of concession activities, transportation variety, the density of recreational facilities, biodiversity, sightseeing zone and combined ticket fee significantly impact tourists’ willingness to pay. Higher-educated, younger and willing-to-revisit tourists are more likely to pay for the park and hope to optimize the facilities and activities. The estimated recreational value of the park is RMB 164.51 (about USD 22.75) per person. Here, heterogeneity exist: higher-educated tourists ask for lager sightseeing zone, younger ones prefer more diverse activities and those who are willing to revisit incline to variety means of transportation.

This paper aims to analyze the spatial patterns characteristics of cultural resources within the Yellow River National Cultural Park in China. Therefore, this paper plans to use Arcgis-10.8 software to describe the spatial patterns of cultural resources within the Yellow River National Cultural Park and use Geographic detector tools to study the influence of physical geography and social and human factors on the spatial distribution pattern of cultural resources. The results indicate that: (1) the cultural resources in the Yellow River National show a spatial distribution pattern that is dense in the east and sparse in the west; (2) the spatial patterns of cultural resources within the planning scope of the Yellow River National Cultural Park are clustered, and multiple high-density areas such as south of the Shanxi province, north of the North Henan and Middle Shaanxi have formed, and the area covered by intangible cultural heritage is larger than that of tangible cultural heritage; (3) cultural resources show a “triangular” spatial distribution pattern, intangible cultural heritage shows an “N” spatial distribution pattern, and tangible cultural heritage shows an inverted “V” spatial distribution structure; (4) the influence of a single factor on the spatial distribution pattern of cultural resources is limited. The interaction of multiple factors can significantly improve explanation, and the landscape layout of cultural resources is the main factor affecting the spatial patterns of cultural resources.
