Environmental and Cultural Tourism Resources: Problems and Implications for their Management

  • Chapter
Tourism and the Environment

Part of the book series: Environment & Assessment ((ENAS,volume 6))

Abstract

The present paper aims at presenting and analysing the problems and implications arising from the use and management of environmental and cultural resources in tourist areas — two groups of resources which directly affect the particular demand and supply characteristics in most tourist areas world-wide. Examples of such resources include: monuments, traditional settlements, cultural events, traditionally produced local products, areas of archaeological, cultural or historic interest, areas of special natural beauty, national parks, ecological parks, wetlands, coasts, mountains, areas with a rich or rare flora and fauna.
