| Popis: | 92 Recreation industry has long been considered as a “non-pollution industry”. Although no manufacturing itself, this industry and its related activities, such as transportation, dinning and lodging, were found all associated with lots of environmental impacts and pollution. This criticism became serious especially after the “green movement” of western countries, and it created certain damage to this industry. While the recreation industry has become one of the mainstream industries, it is important to develop a win-win strategy, which can benefit both the industry and the environment. In the last two decades, lots of theme parks were also established in Taiwan. It signifies Taiwan has the similar tendency with other countries. Characterized by large and costly, theme parks, if poorly design, will become environmental disasters. The main purpose of this paper is to examine the environmental managemental practices of theme parks in Taiwan. Throught the indepth interviews and case studies, this research analysed the five most famous theme parks in Taiwan- Janfusun Fancyworld, Leofoo Village Theme Park, Formosan Aboricinal Culture Village, West Lake Resortopia, and Window on China. This study shows these theme parks mostly emphasized on the pollution control and investment of energy and water saving. It is hoped that this study could provide some useful information and suggestions to the business runners of Taiwan’s theme parks for enhancing their green competitiveness. |
