'''Summary'''
This manual focuses primarily on providing a set of criteria to ecotourism planners and managers at conservation NGOs to facilitate decisions with respect to ecotourism management and development. However, it should also be helpful to protected area specialists and managers of state-owned and community-owned reserves, as well as to other actors in ecotourism including tour operators and hotel developers who seek greater orientation in understanding the conservation implications of proposed activities. Additionally, it will be of use to investors considering ecotourism development proposals.
