Scenic spot development and management services refer to professional services that provide all-round support for the planning, construction, operation and maintenance of tourist attractions. The services cover scenic spot resource assessment, project planning, infrastructure construction, visitor management, marketing, environmental protection and other aspects, aiming to enhance the sustainable development capacity and economic benefits of scenic spots. Through scientific development and refined management, we ensure the rational use of scenic spot resources, enhance the visitor experience, and promote the coordinated development of local economy, culture and ecology.

The value chain of scenic area development and management services typically includes multiple stages: resource acquisition and planning and design, infrastructure construction and investment, on-site operation and management, supporting commercial development, marketing and distribution channels, and tourist services. The upstream segment involves the revitalization of scenic resources, overall planning and design, environmental assessment, and infrastructure construction contractors, responsible for scenic area positioning, route planning, and transportation and public facilities construction. The midstream segment comprises scenic area operators and managers, including daily operations, safety assurance, facility maintenance, ticketing systems, and brand promotion, forming the core of the entire chain. The downstream segment encompasses catering and accommodation, cultural performances, tourism e-commerce platforms, related derivative products, and experiential activities, directly creating consumption scenarios and revenue for tourists. The entire value chain involves both traditional tourism services and the integration of digital ticketing, cultural tourism products, and secondary consumption projects, driving the transformation of scenic areas from a "ticket economy" to a "tourism experience economy." The gross profit margin of the main business of scenic areas (such as tickets, guided tours, safety, and facility services) typically fluctuates between 20% and 70%, depending on the type of scenic area and the services offered: for example, high-value-added facilities such as cable cars can have gross profit margins of 43%–89%, core scenic area services have a gross profit margin of approximately 35%–70%, while supporting services such as those provided by travel agencies have a lower gross profit margin of only about 5%–10%. Overall, scenic area development and management services have significant profit margins and growth potential by strengthening operational efficiency, increasing derivative consumption, and optimizing resource utilization.

The key to the success of scenic spot development and management services lies in achieving a balance between resource protection and commercial development. Scientific planning and sustainable development concepts should be integrated throughout the entire scenic spot development process to ensure that natural resources and cultural heritage are effectively protected while enhancing the scenic spot's attractiveness and tourist experience. In addition, the application of smart tourism technologies, such as big data analysis, smart guides, and tourist behavior monitoring, can also help optimize scenic spot management and services and improve operational efficiency. However, the over-commercialization of scenic spots and environmental pressures remain challenges, and it is necessary to focus on ecological protection and community interests during the development process to ensure the long-term and healthy development of scenic spots.
