Abstract:

The construction of beautiful villages in Zhejiang Province has entered the era of “Wancun scenic spots”. As one of the first 3A level scenic villages in Zhejiang Province, understanding tourists’ perception of the tourism image of Yueliangqiao Village can provide certain reference for the construction and development of it in the future. In this paper, the visitor-employed photography (VEP) method was used to study the image perception of tourists in Yueliangqiao Village. The results showed that the volunteers paid the highest attention to the rural residential buildings and residential buildings, and paid more attention to the intuitive feelings, rural environment, moon theme and plants; the volunteers’ evaluation of scenic villages was mainly positive perception, but there was still a small part of negative perception; there was a little deviation between the content of volunteers’ attention and the content to be present; the service of reception and explanation in scenic villages was not perfect. Therefore, some suggestions were put forward, such as systematically displaying the tourist attractions, emphasizing the theme of “Tianmu Yuexiang”, improving the team reception and explanation service, so as to provide reference for the sustainable management and development of the scenic villages in the future.
