Abstract
The paper begins with the current situation of tourism development in China, and puts forward the necessity of low-carbon tourism development mode. As complex dynamic syntheses, the analysis of the tourism system needs to use system simulation methods. Combining with the review of the low carbon tourism research at home and abroad, it shows that the current researches are lack of systematic and dynamic analysis case. Based on some assumptions in this paper, low-carbon tourism system can be divided into four subsystems, and system dynamics method is applied to build low-carbon tourism causality diagram and flow chart to reflect the relationship and dynamic change between each factor, in order to provide a scientific analysis method to improve the low-carbon tourism system and to guide the practice.
