SummaryThis 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. Examples of such areas are the more than 26,000 Natura 2000 sites which have recently been recognised by 27 European countries. This manual brings together state-of-the-art knowledge and experiences from different parts of Europe and can serve as a basic reference document.
This manual was developed and published with financial support of the LIFE+ programme, a European Union programme supporting environmental and nature conservation throughout the EU. Produced by a team of Europe’s leading experts, this manual combines expertise from EUROPARC Consulting, bringing in more than 30 years of experience in developing tourism in Europe’s leading protected areas; the European Centre for Eco and Agro Tourism (ECEAT), adding the perspective of the tourism sector and entrepreneurs; and the Latvian Country Tourism Association (Lauku Ceļotājs) contributing the specific lessons learned in the frame of the LIFE+ POLPROP-NATURA (LIFE07ENV/LV/000981) project which aimed at the creation of a model for sustainable tourism development in the Latvian Slītere National Park. Many of the best practices and case studies in this manual are based on this Sustainable Tourism Model.
