Abstract
The goal of this suggested eco-tourism plan for Rapa Nui National Park in Chile is to guide the development of an environmentally sensitive plan to carry the park, a World Heritage site, into the future. A plan developed from an expanded version of this plan will guide the use and development of this world heritage site while simultaneously preserving and protecting and, where possible, enhancing the park resources. It must also take into account the three thousand residents of Easter Island, especially the indigenous Rapa Nui who have taken care of these resources for centuries and depend on them for spiritual and economic well being.
