This paper presents an investigation of birding tourism in Sichuan based on a literature survey, field work and interviews with experts. The paper examines birding resources, site characteristics, economic feasibility and the key factors affecting the tourism industry in this region. Current problems relating to Sichuan's birding tourism are discussed in conjunction with its prospects.
