英文摘要：

Low-carbon tourism is a new-type traveling means generated under the background of low-carbon e- conomy. The article probes into some related documents from both home and abroad in the recent past years, ana- lyzes the contents and practical cases of low-carbon tourism research, makes a comparison between ecotourism and green tourism, and then comes up with the definition of low-carbon tourism in an effort to offer reference for low-carbon tourism development.
