Synopsis

Ecotourism is a relatively new phenomenon, but is part of a global increased awareness of the fragile nature of the environment. Tourism in a National Park or any other protected area can serve as a self-financing mechanism as well as a tool for conservation. This will only be possible if the level, type and management of tourism are appropriate and the "carrying capacity" of the designated area is respected. These guidelines provide a practical working document designed to advise and guide those involved with the establishment or revision of management plans for parks and protected areas.
