Abstract: Tourism development is an important way for ecosystem to provide ecosystem service values and it has a value-added effect. Taking Huangshan Scenic Area as a case, based on field surveys and interviews, by means of the functional value method, this paper analyzes the dynamic change of ecosystem service values in Huangshan Scenic Area (including core area and buffer zone) and the value-added effect of tourism development from 2005 to 2015. This paper argues that: (1) The value of ecosystem services kept growing annually. The total value of ecosystem services in Huangshan Scenic Area increased from 2.359 billion yuan in 2005 to 4.893 billion yuan in 2015. (2)The value of ecosystem services showed spatial differentiation as it increased from 1.045 billion yuan in 2005 to 1.948 billion yuan in 2015 in the core area, while the buffer area increased from 1.314 billion yuan in 2005 to 2.945 billion yuan in 2015. The average annual service value increase per unit area of the core area was 1.12 yuan/(hm 2·a), significantly higher than the buffer zone of 0.55 yuan /(hm 2·a). (3)Tourism development had a value-added effect on ecosystem services values. From 2005 to 2015, the change of land use in Huangshan Scenic Area was subtle, with change rates of the area of forest land, grassland, water area and unused land were less than 1% during 10 years, which had little impact on the increase of the value of ecosystem services. The value of tourism and leisure services accounted for the highest proportion both in the core area and buffer zone, with 78.99% of the total value of ecosystem services in the core area and 48.55% in the buffer zone. The increase in the value of tourism and leisure services played the most important role in increasing elosystem service values in Huangshan Scenic Area. This study shows that the development of tourism is an important way to practice the idea of ‘Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets’. However, we need to strengthen the protection of ecosystem and environment during tourism develop, in order to effectively provide ecosystem service values in tourism destinations.
