Abstract: Based on the understanding that some of the common problems found in nature-based tourism districts including inefficiency in resource utilisation, environmental pollution and poor service quality are closely related to the imbalance in the front-back stage structure of the entire tourism service system, this paper proposes a new system structure of tourism district based on front-back stage decoupling to solve these problems. Given that the new structure cannot be universally suitable for tourism districts of various natures, a decision-making model based on a comprehensive cost analysis is then provided to support the decision of whether or not to apply the new system structure into a tourism district. It compares the environmental quality costs with service provision costs of the new system structure and the traditional one, and then deduces the required minimum quantity of the standard business units (SBUs) needed, which finally leads to the decision making.
