Journal Articles and academic books related to Taiwan's wetlands ecotourism are reviewed and analyzed from the perspective of the social science. This paper identifies issues about the development of wetlands ecotourism in Taiwan and its academic research concern. Three conclusions are obtained: (1) The research topics of wetlands ecotourism are closely related to social development; (2) The published papers and books have not yet covered the major subjects of wetlands ecotourism. Some research fields are still at the pioneer stage; (3) In Taiwan, most tourists visited wetlands are general mass tourists. Only a small portion of them are eco-tourists
