| Summary: | The local environment has a positive influence for
tourist trips, both through the conditions it
offers, and through its high attractivity. This is
the main reason why tourism should play an importan
t
part in the conservation of the environment and the
mantainance of its high standards (both in the
area of tourist resorts, and in their sorroundings)
. The main interests in the field of tourist activi
ties
should be well aware of the fact that the natural r
esorces which are used in this domain are limited.
Destructive actions derived from tourist activities
are manifested mainly through the
inadequate usage of the environment’s resources, in
recreation and leisure purposes, and they
are increased by the human intervention upon spa re
sources, which is often quite brutal.
Therefore, the development of tourism should be mad
e along with the idea of a sustainable
development of the region, which is based on natura
l resources and their protection. |
