Forest parks are important places to carry out forest functions, particularly the ecosystem service function. Currently, forest tourism with focus on forest parks has become a research hotspot of China′s forest ecology studies. This paper points out the development direction of China′s forest parks based on an analysis of the development stages, industry profiles and the ecological environment of forest parks in the county.. This analysis is made at a time of global financial crisis started in the United States as well as at a time of a new policy being put forth by the central government with regard to the land use transfer in the county. It is believed that the land transfer reform will further diversify the operation and management of Chinese forest parks while the financial crisis will facilitate the development of tourism market within a short distance to parks, and the urbanization will boost the demand for pursuing forest recreation/tourism activities in forested lands. Meanwhile, the paper believes recreation impact management will become an effective approach to balance and regulate the forest park ecosystem, balance. Moreover, forest resources for public wellness and health, ecological compensation mechanism of forest parks, the structural adjustment of the forest tourism industry and the relevant financial investment policy will be the hot research topics on forest tourism. To reduce the negative impact of the financial crisis on forest parks and fully carry out China′s new land policy, it is necessary to proactively regulate the land transfer procedures of public forest lands, to support the construction and development of forest parks by private owners, to develop ecological education and enrich the content of forest tourism, to prevent the potential inflation in tourism destinations where the forest land use transfer will take place, and finally, to use new ecologic technology to protect and develop the forest tourism resources in a sustainable manner.
