Accordingly, along with comprehensive and in-depth assessments of heritage environmental protection, the current state of pressures and challenges in development goals, studies on this issue also provide in-depth assessments of tourism carrying capacity and impacts on the social community in the tourism area. From there, propose solutions that are oriented towards the sustainable development of heritage, with scenarios and plans for developing tourism products in a reasonable manner, both helping to increase the experience for visitors and allowing the community and businesses to benefit from tourism...

There is always a fierce conflict between the conservation goal and the need to exploit and serve the development of heritage sites. Therefore, assessing the carrying capacity of heritage sites needs to become an essential tool to partly resolve the above conflict, ensuring the sustainability of heritage sites.
