Sustainable Tourism Industry in China

As most developed countries in the world have advocated and started focusing on sustainable development on every industry, developing countries like China also bring the sight into this popular topic.

Recently journalists in China have been discussing on how to make a sustainable development on Chinese tourism industry. Sustainable development in tourism industry includes two parts. First is the sustainable development at tourist places, second is the proposition of continuous education to improve tourists’ travelling responsibilities. 

Sustainable development at tourist places requires the managerial group (when they make decisions on tourism development and management) at the tourist places fully consider the sustainable development capability while consuming local tourism resources and impacting on local environment. Proposition of improving tourists’ responsibilities requires the tourist to minimize the impact on the travel place’s environment and also ensure while travel place benefits from tourists spending and travelling activities it can also remain at the original integrity status and being able to be developed sustainably.

Travel is one of the major activities currently for people in China. In China, tourists are numbered about 200,000 in 2009. Researchers anticipate in 2020, China will become the top popular country for travelling and Chinese travellers will become fourth driving force in tourism industry. In each year, travel activity makes huge impact on the environment human beings heavily rely on.


Tourism is an industry, which almost everyone participates in subjectively or objectively. Environment could be impacted by almost every aspect involved in the travel (such as traffic, accommodation, catering and other travel activities). Therefore only sustainable development will keep the environment and travelling places intact at the minimum level, and leave a nice world for our young generation.

Waste Management Technology in Malmö Bo01

In the Bo01, The waste management system was created with the aim to develop a system that minimises the amount of waste, makes reuse and recycling possible and enables the use of waste and sewage as an energy source. Having waste separation units close to home is an important part of the planning of the area. The inhabitants usually have a separation room in their house or close by, making it easy for them to sort paper and packaging materials. Organic kitchen waste is ground at the residence and collected in underground vaults (Figure 1), from which it is pumped to an anaerobic digestion chamber. The biological treatment of this slurry by bacteria creates biogas (methane), which is drawn off and used to power public buses or used to generate heat and electricity. Figure 1. Food waste disposer the organic waste are grinded and disposed in separate pipes to a collector tank under ground. Similarly, the non-organic waste is deposited in the vacuum tubes located in the res...

UDC created a rooftop farm in the campus, which is the largest rooftop farm in the city to plant the vegetable and flowers. Beyond the campus, the Firebird Farm is working for the sustainable agri-experiments. Here UDC is experimenting with a wide selection of crops and techniques to sustainably provide food for a growing city. UDC is not just focused on growing crops on the campus and farm, they also build the “Urban Food Hub” include farms, hydroponics systems, and food preparation facilities in the city,   aim to providing new skills, jobs, and healthy sustainable fo...
