Ecotourism as a sustainable way to protect nature<br />
• Introduce which conditions are important for successful<br />
ecotourism.<br />
• It will deal with ecotourism within the world tourism market and<br />
consider economical aspects.<br />
• It will deal with ecolabeling (environmental certification in<br />
tourism), and present different kinds <strong>of</strong> ecolabels around the world.<br />
• It will look at the roles <strong>of</strong> ecotourism in conserving biodiversity in<br />
protected areas and the role <strong>of</strong> local participation in ecotourism.<br />
The chapter also looks at how the proceeds are generated and who<br />
benefits from tourism.<br />
• It deals with the negative impacts <strong>of</strong> ecotourism and how to<br />
minimise these impacts.<br />
Chapter three is made up <strong>of</strong> two case studies. We will look at how tourism<br />
is promoted in these two places. We have chosen two countries from distinct<br />
places in the world, and we will look at how they are managing the National<br />
Park. They are both developing countries. It would have been interesting to<br />
compare these two countries with tourism in an industrialised country, but it<br />
would not be possible within the scope <strong>of</strong> this project. We chose the Galapagos<br />
Islands and the Kruger National Park in South Africa because they have a very<br />
similarly economic situation, but they differ when it comes to the actual<br />
management <strong>of</strong> tourism. Learning from two case studies, we will figure out what<br />
should be followed and what should be avoided.<br />
Chapter four opens a discussion on the notion “ecotourism”, and how to<br />
implement it in practice.<br />
Chapter five contains the final conclusion and suggestions.<br />
