This manual is an initiative of ECEAT International, the European Centre for Eco and Agro Tourism in partnership with the Europarc Federation. It is a practical manual on how to develop and manage tourism in protected areas. It is for all those responsible for the management of protected areas as tourism destinations. These include not only protected-area managers but also local authorities, tourism promotion agencies and tourism business associations.
It focuses on protected areas that are in an early stage of their tourism development and wish to do this in a well-planned and sustainable manner. Examples of such areas are the more than 26,000 Natura 2000 sites which have recently been recognised by 27 European countries.
This manual brings together state-of-the-art knowledge and experiences from different parts of Europe and can serve as a basic reference document
