Abstract：To perform cave tourism activities successfully,the basic prerequisite and guarantee is safety.By searching previous literatures on CNKI,VIP,Springer link,Elsevier SDOL,EBSCO,SAGE JOURNALS, Wiley,and consulting documents from library,this paper collected 79 useful references which are related to cave tourism security.Through literature review,it was found that previous studies rarely focused on cave tourism security,which wasa new academic field in cave tourism research and only began25 years ago.So far,there is no systematic and theoretical research on cave tourism security.Previous research are mainly concerned with performance,influence factors,countermeasures of cave tourism security,which is superfi-cial and the study scale is mostly too small.As a new branch of cave tourism,the study of cave tourism se-curity should make use of theories and methods from other disciplines,such as speleology,security science, and tourism.To ensure the security of cave environment,tourists and practitioners,comprehensive studies, such as theoretical framework,tourist cave flood control,security cognition,risk assessment,rescue system of cave tourism security are crucially demanded.
