Successfully Developing and Maintaining an Area of Natural Scenic Beauty and Amenity as a Tourist Resource

Involves many conflicts how do you agree with this statement?

Natural beauty and wilderness can be found in very few places that are

undisturbed within the modern western world. As such any sites that

display natural beauty become havens for tourists and visitors who

wish to relax or use outdoor pursuits. As more visitors flock to these

natural "honey pots" they become under strain and as such many

features of the environment suffer and may require management to

reduce any rate of decay or to let the area recover. Though these

problems are not only faced by the developed world but also areas of

outstanding natural beauty in the less economically developed world.

Not only do people come to visit areas such as arches national park in

America but they also come to use amenities such as water sports such

as those on Loch Lomond Scotland.

Tourism depends greatly upon primary resources of outstanding natural

beauty as it generates a vast amount of income that normally is fed

straight into the local economy instead of being diverted like with

the mass tourism that is normally found on the coast. Though with this

demand for tourism many conflicts can occur. These can be between

tourists, locals, farmers, the employed, the local council,

environment agencies and groups as well as national park protection

schemes. Though there are many ways in which these conflicts can be

resolved or ways in which a compromise can be reached, in this essay I

made areas such as reservoirs where disturbing factors can be

minimized. Wardens will also become more apparent in all national

parks and heavier bans maybe emplaced on people who damage the

environment.

After looking through all these case studies I can come to an idea

that the way in which the national parks of the future will be

protected is by the learning of the damage that is caused by visitors,

and as such they will feel obliged to keep the areas in good condition

so that many more can appreciate them. After saying that I still do

feel that vats amounts of capital are required for upkeep and of which

more will need to come from tourists. As such we may see memberships

and tariffs enforced as compulsory charges to all national parks

worldwide.
