Abstract Scientific evaluation of the suitability of ecotourism is of great significance to the ecological protection and future development of marine parks. This study uses multi-criteria evaluation method to build the ecotourism suitability evaluation index system and evaluation model, and takes Dongshan Island in China as an example for empirical analysis. Through conceptualizing and quantifying the relationship between stakeholder perception and the suitability of marine park ecotourism development, this paper analyzes the heterogeneity of different groups, including the differences between local people and tourists, different occupational groups and groups with different educational levels, thus clarifying the problems existing in the development of marine park ecotourism, and providing reference for the further development and management of the marine park. The results show that Dongshan Island has a good carrying capacity and a certain level of tourism development foundation, which can provide opportunities for mass tourists to participate in ecotourism. However, weak environmental awareness of Dongshan Island residents will become an important obstacle to the island's ecotourism development. In terms of future development, the demand for environmental education in Dongshan Island is obvious. The development of ecotourism requires complete tourism management measures and tourist education and effective environmental management.
