Policies for Maximizing Nature Tourism’s Ecological and Economic Benefits

  • Author(s): Kreg Lindberg
  • Organization: World Resources Institute
  • Date Published: January 1, 1991

This report focuses on two basic contributions of nature tourism:

1. funding for creation and maintenance of public and private natural areas through entrance fees, concessions, and royalties; and
2. economic opportunities that reduce the pressure to encroach on natural areas for food and fiber.

With this potential in mind, two questions arise: How much does tourism actually contribute to economic development? and Which economic policies increase nature tourism’s contribution without degrading the natural resources on which it is based?
