METHODS AND INDICATORS FOR MEASURING THE IMPACT OF TOURISM ON PROTECTED NATURAL AREAS

Summary/Abstract: To facilitate tourism development in line with the capacity of ecosystems in a protected area is closely linked to the development of a monitoring system to achieve the accounting and control the flow of tourists. The methods aim different components for evaluation (identification, description and comparison of impacts by using scaling levels, their weight) and supports data collection and classification of environmental impact. In practice, there are a variety of methods for evaluating the impact on the environment. This aspect is dictated by the purpose of the impact studies, the law surrounding these studies and the composition/competence of the evaluation teams. The indicators that measure the impact of the tourism on protected areas are a necessary tool in the design of a sustainable development strategy.
