Chapter 4 CONCLUSIONS 22 TRENDS IN PROTECTED AREAS This report concludes that there are currently no systematic and consistent methods and processes to measure the visitation trends in protected areas internationally and in Australia. Protected area management agencies are often poorly funded and commonly concentrate their activities towards park management and give less priority to research and integrated park monitoring. The tourism industry and tour operators are largely driven by commercial market forces, and there appears to be little coordination or linkages among protected area management agencies and other stakeholders engaged in tourism and park management. Furthermore, several constraints have influenced the collation of regular and systematic visitation monitoring in protected areas. Protected areas and tourism trends influence the selection of target markets, decisions on product development, and the overall market positioning of the destinations. Human pressures on protected areas are continuing to intensify, because of global population growth and associated economic and political changes. Reviewing tourism and protected area linkages and trends are therefore a crucial step for the maintenance of biodiversity conservation and economic prosperity. The emerging climate change trends and the associated impacts in national parks and other protected areas bring many unanswered questions and tend to be the greatest challenge for management agencies in the 21 st century. The current knowledge and information gaps are influenced by many factors including the management strategies and governance models of parks and protected areas. This review of recent trends in protected areas and tourism provides useful information for research institutions, government agencies and industry partners engaged in tourism and protected area management and encourage greater study in the assessment of the sustainable use of national parks and protected areas by tourists. This study is a snapshot of general trends of protected area in Australia and internationally. There is a need for further studies on the trends of visitors across the national parks and other protected areas worldwide and Australia to find the current information gaps, challenges and megatrends.
