In recent years, Shibadong Village has put in a lot of effort to create a “waste-free scenic area” centered on civilized ecological tourism and green low-carbon to enhance the brand image. It has been awarded the national practical innovation base of “Lucid Waters and Lush Mountains Are Invaluable Assets” and the “Best Tourist Village” in the world.
“Waste-free scenic areas” are a key component of “waste-free cells” and an important part of building a “waste-free city”. Shibadong Village has taken a series of measures to create a “waste-free scenic area”. A leading group has been built in the scenic area to enhance villagers’ awareness of participation through deployment meetings and training sessions and ensure that all measures are well implemented.
Slogans promoting “Waste-free Scenic Area” can be seen everywhere in the scenic area, to increase the awareness of tourists about the creation of “Waste-free Scenic Area” and stimulate their enthusiasm for environmental protection actions such as garbage classification and energy conservation and emission reduction.
A series of environmental protection facilities in the scenic area provide strong guarantees for the creation of a “waste-free scenic area”. Such facilities as ecological parking lots, ecological trails, and Shibadong Diqiucang Homestay Inn have enhanced the tourist experience and reduced the impact on the environment. At the same time, the scenic area has increased the cleaning frequency, and adopted water-saving and recycling methods to reduce sewage discharge.
Sufficient classified garbage bins are set up for classified disposal, collection, transportation, and treatment.
In addition, the scenic area doesn’t require paper tickets, and tourists can scan the QR code to access information about the scenic area, which not only improves service quality but also reduces paper waste. Meanwhile, interactive activities are regularly held, such as lectures and exhibitions on environmental protection, to increase tourists’ attention to and participation in environmental protection.
In the future, the scenic area will continue efforts to improve the construction system of a “waste-free scenic area” and strive to become a new model of green ecological tourism.
