摘　　要：生态足迹分析是一种新兴的定量测度人类对自然的生态消耗和可持续发展程度的生态经济学新方法,旅游生态足迹是生态足迹理论在旅游研究中的应用。旅游生态足迹既是一种分析方法,也是一种认知理念。在深入研究旅游生态足迹特征、类型的基础上,以“四体旅游系统模式”为基本思路,探讨旅游生态足迹的四大功能意义,即:对旅游主体——旅游者的环境教育功能,对旅游客体——旅游目的地生态消耗的衡量功能,对旅游媒体——旅游业的生态效益的评价功能以及对旅游载体——旅游环境影响的测度功能;以此为基础,进一步探讨旅游生态足迹对于旅游业可持续发展的指导意义。Ecological footprint analysis is a new method of ecological economics that quantitatively measures ecological consumption by mankind and the extent of sustainable development, Tourist ecological footprint is the application of its theory in tourism research. Tourist ecological footprint is not only an analysis method, but also a cognitive concept. Based on an in-depth study of its features and types, the paper discusses the four functions of ecological footprint. They are： environmental education for tourists, measurement of ecological consumption in tourism destinations, the evaluation of ecological benefit for tourism industry and measurement of tourism environmental impact. Furthermore, the paper discusses the instructive significance of tourist ecological footprint to the sustainable development of tourism industry.
