Abstract
Sustainable tourism development is a key factor for tourism destination development, and evaluating the sustainable tourism development level can reflect the current situation, existing problems and deficiencies of tourism destinations. Based on constructing the evaluation index system of sustainable tourism development from four aspects, they are sustainability of tourism resources, economic feasibility, social acceptability and environmental rationality, this work applied AHP method to calculate the weight of each index, and takes Luojiang District, Deyang, Sichuan Province, China as research area. On the basis of data collection and collation, the sustainable tourism development level of Luojiang District between 2002 and 2016 was evaluated, the results show that from 2002 to 2016, the sustainable tourism development level of Luojiang District showed an overall upward trend, and can be divided into four stages: the first is the preparation stage of 2002-2011, the second is the preliminary stage of 2012-2013, the third is the basic stage of 2014-2015 and the fourth is the sustainable stage from 2016.
