Abstract: In order to accurately evaluate the carrying capacity of ecotourism, a comprehensive evaluation method of carrying capacity of ecotourism based on the state space method was proposed. Firstly, the ecological footprint model is used to collect the environmental carrying capacity data of ecotourism regions from the perspective of catering, accommodation, transportation, sightseeing, shopping, water resources and waste. Secondly, the index system of comprehensive evaluation of ecotourism carrying capacity is constructed, and the evaluation indexes are quantified, and the entropy weight method is used to calculate the index weight. Finally, according to the weight calculation results, the state space method is used to calculate the value of ecotourism carrying capacity, and the state of ecotourism environmental carrying capacity is judged through the carrying capacity. The experimental results show that the bearing capacity evaluation results of this method are completely consistent with the actual results, and the evaluation accuracy reaches 100%.

Keywords: state space method; ecological tourism environment; bearing capacity; comprehensive evaluation.
