Abstract: This paper puts forward integrated tourism Cleaner Production (CP) and demonstrates it is an inevitable course for the sustainable development of tourism industry. Further more, tourist landscape eco-design was discussed, which plays a very important role in the integrated tourism CP but the current research on it is insufficient. This paper uses landscape ecology to make a systemic analysis to spatial structure of tourist landscape and presents an ECRS model of tourist landscape eco-design based on ecology, culture, region and science, which can further enrich the connotation of sustainable development of tourism.

Keywords: tourism industry; integrated tourism; cleaner production; ecodesign; landscape ecology; ECRS model; tourism sustainable development; sustainability; tourist landscape design; culture; region; science.
