“…Later works by Day (2005), Han and Zhang (2006) and Hayes (2007) also discuss in detail the alarming scale and rate of environmental destruction, intensified by the open door reforms and industrialization process of the 1970s and 1980s. Institutional constraints such as the lack of coordination between central and provincial government and the gap between policy formulation and implementation have often been given as the main reasons for the failure in environmental protection (Jahiel 1997 ;Sinkule and Ortolano 1995 ;Tilt 2007 ;Carter and Mol 2007 ;Van Rooij 2006 ).…”

“…Domestically, as we have seen, thirty years of reforms saw huge improvements in China's economic development and living standards. However, China's natural resources have been the subject of widespread exploitation with significant implications for the pollution of the natural environment as documented by scholars such as Economy ( 2004Economy ( , 2005, Hayes ( 2007 ), Magee ( 2006 ) and Smil ( 1980Smil ( , 1998Smil ( , 2004.

Rural tourism plays an increasing role in maintaining sustainable rural development. In-11 tegrating culture into rural tourism is multifaceted. Local communities have often been regarded as 12 homogeneous, and different voices within them are selectively presented or re-interpreted by pow-13 ers. A better understanding of how and why cultures are integrated into rural tourism is urgently 14 needed. This paper aims to investigate (1) the aims and motives of tourism managers to integrate 15 cultural concepts into rural tourism; (2) who has participated in the cultural integration process; and 16 (3) how cultures have been integrated into rural tourism. Based on a scoping literature review, we 17 found that cultures could add more attractions, such as historical heritage, artwork, cultural land-18 scape, customs, food, and language, to the natural landscape and bring more tourists to rural areas. 19 However, integrating cultures into rural tourism is not always successful. Conflicts of interest 20 among different stakeholders are also often found. Some of the worst cases of cultural integration 21 have even destroyed the original natural landscape and local cultures. While cultural integration is 22 complicated, injustice and perverse effects do not have to be a consequence of integrating cultures 23 into rural tourism. Multi-way communication among tourism providers, managers, and consumers 24 can mitigate disruptive outcomes and unlock positive social outcomes.

Rural tourism plays an increasing role in sustaining sustainable rural development. Integrating culture in rural tourism is multifaceted. Local communities have often been regarded as homogeneous and different voices internally is selectively presented or re-interpreted by powers. A better understanding of how and why cultures are integrated into rural tourism is urgently needed. This paper aims to investigate: (1) what are the aims and motives of tourism managers to integrate cultural concepts into rural tourism; (2) who has participated in the cultural integration process; and (3) how cultures have been integrated into rural tourism. Based on a scoping literature review, we find that cultures could add more attractions, such as historical heritage, artwork, cultural landscape, customs, food, and language, to the natural landscape and bring more tourists to rural areas. However, integrating cultures into rural tourism is not always successful. Conflicts of interests among different stakeholders are often found too. Some worst culture-integration cases even destroyed the original natural landscape and local cultures. While culture integration is complicated, injustice and preserve effects do not have to be a consequence of integrating cultures into rural tourism. Two-way communication among tourism provider, managers and demanders can mitigate disruptive outcomes and unlock positive social outcomes.
