Ecotourism

This book is designed to help conservation organisations, community-based organisations and protected area managers plan and run effective ecotourism businesses. It was created as part of the Business Skills Transfer Programme for Ecotourism Development, a joint effort by IUCN and Kuoni Group aimed at supporting conservation organisations in managing ecotourism-related businesses through business skills, knowledge and experience sharing.

This book is a practical manual on how to develop and manage tourism in protected areas. It is for all those responsible for the management of protected areas as tourism destinations. These include not only protected-area managers but also local authorities, tourism promotion agencies and tourism business associations. It focuses on protected areas that are in an early stage of their tourism development and wish to do this in a well-planned and sustainable manner.

Definir estrategias e instrumentos para gestionar adecuadamente y de la forma más inocua recursos naturales y culturales para su uso recreativo es un desafío complejo, en el que hay que tener en cuenta la realidad y la problemática de cada uno de los territorios en los que se vayan a aplicar. A lo largo de los artículos de este libro, se ofrece una serie de reflexiones y herramientas que pueden ayudar en esta tarea.

Wie kaum ein anderer Wirtschaftszweig ist der Tourismus auf eine ansprechende Natur und Umwelt angewiesen. Die Naturschönheiten und die kulturelle Ausstattung eines Landes, stellen ein wichtiges Kapital dar, dessen Sicherung für den Tourismus daher von großer Bedeutung ist. Zugleich ist Tourismus aber auch Mitverursacher von Natur- und Umweltbelastungen.
