Panda Camp Thrives: Ecotourism Draws 80,000 Visitors

The Panda International Forest Camp, situated in Yingjing county, Sichuan province, has become a significant destination since its opening in 2021. This unique nature education school, nestled within China's Giant Panda National Park, has already attracted more than 80,000 visitors.

Operating within a designated general control area of the park, the camp permits limited human activity. This environment is ideal for its mission of ecological education, capitalizing on the area's abundant biodiversity and lush forests. The initiative represents a successful collaboration between national park management, tourism authorities, and a private tourism company, serving as a blueprint for ecotourism management and community planning within national parks.
