Deep poverty in Sichuan Tibetan area is mainly manifested as low regional development level, complex poverty status and weak endogenous development capacity. Tourism-targeted poverty alleviation as an effective way to reduce poverty in Sichuan Tibetan area is also in face of constraints in infrastructure, human capital, fund, market, policy system and identification mechanism. Thus, this paper proposes five resolution strategies: accelerating tourism infrastructure construction, improving the endogenous development capacity of poverty population, expanding financing channels, optimizing market environment and deepening institutional reform so as to alleviate deep poverty in Sichuan Tibetan areas. 1. Multidimension limits of tourism targeted poverty alleviation in Sichuan Tibetan areas Since from China's Western Development, especially with the launch of "targeted poverty alleviation program" as the overall keynote in recent years, Sichuan Tibetan area has made full use of abundant tourism resources to vigorously carry out tourism targeted poverty alleviation work. In 2015, Sichuan Tibetan tourism was included in provincial tourism poverty alleviation system. 32 impoverished counties and 243 poverty-stricken villages were included in the "Sichuan Rural Tourism Wealth Project Implementation Plan" and the "Sichuan Tourism Poverty Alleviation Five-Year Action Plan". There are more than 4,000 Tibetan farmhouses and more than 4000 pasture houses in Sichuan Tibetan area until 2016, which promoted employment for more than 100,000 farmers and herdsmen, received 51.293 million tourists, and achieved a total tourism income of RMB 45.077 billion. However, because of the complex poverty status, tourism targeted poverty alleviation in Sichuan Tibetan area is still facing multi-dimension limits while taking certain effects. 1.1 Limits in infrastructure dimension The backwardness of infrastructure and related supporting service is a major weakness of tourism targeted poverty alleviation in poverty-stricken areas. At present, Sichuan Tibetan area is facing the problem that existing facilities cannot satisfy the tourism development demands and the double predicament of great difficulties in building new infrastructure, high cost and maintenance difficulties. Sichuan Tibetan area is located in the vital part of the Hengduan Mountain with the most complex natural environment under the influence of altitude, topography, geology, climate and other factors. It is hard to conduct infrastructure construction with higher capital investment than the general areas. Infrastructures seriously damaged by frequent earthquakes, mudslides, mountain collapses and other natural disasters are difficult for maintenance, which brings great impact on distribution of tourists and the transportation of native products. By the end of 2014, the population density in Sichuan Tibetan area was only 8.49 people per square kilometer, much lower than the total provincial average level of 167.49 people per square kilometer. The special population distribution 2018 International Conference on Education, Psychology, and Management Science (ICEPMS 2018) Copyright © (2018) Francis Academic Press, UK DOI: 10.25236/icepms.2018.215 --1015-form has brought huge challenges to infrastructure and public services. Insufficient radiation area of transportation, medical care, sanitation and other infrastructure, limited service ability make it very inconvenient for tourists' travelling and sightseeing. 1.2 Limits in human capital dimension The quantity and quality of labor are two key factors influencing tourism practitioners to play a role in tourism production activities. The human resources in tourism development of Sichuan Tibetan area are in face of limits in two dimensions: insufficient number of employees, scarce capacity and low labor quality of employees. Under the influence of geographical environment, blood relationship, religion and other factors, the social structure in Sichuan Tibetan area shows a "block-style" feature. It is difficult to establish "weak" connection between "blocks", which may make poverty population reject heterogeneous resources and concepts. With closed concept and awareness, some poverty population get used to depending on traditional production mode for survival without strong intention to participate in tourism, and a limited number of people obtain employment in tourism industry. At a low level of population cultural quality and scientific literacy in Sichuan Tibetan area, the average educational period is only 6.4 years. Data of the sixth national census show that the illiteracy proportions of Aba and Ganzi reach up to 12.39% and 30.17%. The illiteracy and semiliterate rate is particularly high among middle-aged and elderly people who have poor ability to accept scientific knowledge. With the development of the local tourism industry, the poverty population may also face challenges of decreased farmland and pasture, rising price, competition for employment opportunities with migrant labors, and social structure change. Once had to grasp development opportunities, they will be trapped in poorer situation. 1.3 Limits in fund dimension Tourism as a typical capital-intensive industry demands abundant capital investment. Due to low economic development level in Sichuan Tibetan area, the launch of tourism targeted poverty alleviation work is limited. From the perspective of county-level fiscal revenue, the fiscal revenues increment at the corresponding county-level in Sichuan Tibetan area are mainly from the secondary and tertiary industries and the mineral resources tax. However, Sichuan Tibetan area with unreasonable thrice industrial structure, i.e. a relatively higher proportioned primary industry and lower proportioned secondary industry, lack large-scale industrial bases and leading enterprises. Industrial development makes extremely limited contribution to county-level finance. From the perspective of fund-raising mechanism, poverty alleviation program directly undertaken and promoted by government seldom keeps up with market. Due to certain conflicts between social financial institutions' market-oriented operation requirements for funds and the governmental policy arrangements for poverty alleviation, it is difficult to establish an effective integrative development mechanism between both, causing difficulties in financing and making people hard to obtain loans and financial services needed for development. From the perspective of urban development level, there exist huge differences of economic development levels in counties and towns of Sichuan Tibetan area characterized with obvious duality in regional, urban and rural development. Urban economic development cannot provide sufficient support for rural tourism resource development. From the perspective of the income of poverty population, they can only maintain food and clothing by their income without enough self-accumulation and savings. They lack material and financial capital for tourism operations. Due to the limit of fund shortage, poverty population are easily excluded from tourism industry development. Most positive effects of the tourism economy are enjoyed by people with certain material basis and social capital in the community. Thus, it is still veery hard for poor villagers to benefit from tourism development. 1.4 Limits in market dimension Tourism targeted poverty alleviation as one of paths for poverty alleviation in the industry can mainly provide a platform for poverty villagers and households to develop tourism, provide opportunities to participate in tourism. Compared with general poverty alleviation, tourism targeted
