The Zhangye National Wetland Park is the only one wetland park in Gansu province and the first national wetland park in inland river basin. Zhangye National Wetland Park has perfect ecosystem structure and function and profound historical and cultural background, but it is less competitive with its poor regional conditions. The development of eco-tourism is likely damage the ecological environment, while at the same time, likely to protect and promote the environment. For the sake of sustainable development, several measures are put forward: to take unified development and zone management, to improve the wetland ecotourism legislative system, to implement wetland ecological restoration project, to establish the long-term mechanism of monitoring ecological environment, to enhance the ecological conscionness of the management personnel, to strengthen the tourist publicity and education, and to encourage residents actively participate in management mode.
