How to coordinate the contradiction between economic development and traditional cultural protection in ethnic areas

The traditional culture in ethnic areas has a long history and a rich and unique lifestyle. If properly protected and managed, it will become a powerful driving force for development. However, in many ethnic minority areas, underdeveloped markets and remote geographical locations, these cultural resources cannot be transformed into effective development factors. Therefore, scientific, reasonable and moderate economic development in ethnic minority areas is conducive to the protection of traditional culture in ethnic minority areas, but if it is not developed, over-developed or even disorderly developed, it will bring serious consequences.

It is necessary to organically combine the traditional culture in ethnic areas with the modern market, expand the production and market channels of community-based tourism cultural products, and promote the protection of cultural resources. In addition, demonstration sites are selected in ethnic minority areas, and efforts are made to provide alternative livelihoods for local ethnic minorities, promote employment opportunities and income growth, and at the same time, pay attention to improving capabilities and training local leaders to ensure that local communities follow the development of tourism in China.

The culture in minority areas is facing the impact of foreign culture, which leads to a series of negative effects such as the decrease of the value of minority cultural tourism resources. Therefore, we must attach importance to the protective development of ethnic cultural tourism resources, rationally develop on the basis of protection, strengthen protection on the basis of development, and promote the harmonious and sustainable development of cultural tourism in ethnic areas.
