Summary
Gulangyu Island, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Kulangsu, faces growing threats to its cultural heritage integrity due to expanding tourism. Research identifies key issues in tourism space optimization, including product type, design, and quality. The study proposes a three-pronged strategy: optimizing resource allocation to prioritize cultural heritage as the core attraction; establishing a multi-stakeholder governance model leveraging historical and cultural assets; and developing a linked tourism product system with improved infrastructure to manage visitor flow in high-traffic areas. This approach aims to balance tourism growth with heritage preservation, offering a scalable model for similar sites.
