<strong>GEOTOUR</strong> & <strong>IRSE</strong> 2012<br />
The creation of harmonious social and cultural relations between tourists and local<br />
people (S. Williams, 2009).<br />
The tourism planning has the potential to minimise the negative effects, maximise<br />
economic returns to the destination and build positive attitudes towards tourism in the host<br />
community (S. Williams, 2009.).<br />

Aggtelek-Rudabánya Mountains is the southernmost element of the Inner Western<br />
Carpathians (Gy. Less, 2000.). This area has two parts, on the North the Aggtelek Karst, all<br />

UNESCO World Heritage Committee in 1995.<br />

Currently, more than 1200 caves are known in the karst<br />
(http://anp.nemzetipark.gov.hu/geology-and-caves), among them the longest Hungarian cave,<br />
