Purpose

This Knowledge Builder considers how spatial planning can help to address potential problems arising from ecotourism in terms of displacement of local people, erosion of resources, loss of access to resources by local communities, and cultural conflict.

Benefits

Working with other professionals, spatial planners have a considerable amount to offer in helping to guide and channel developments and activities within an area in order to minimise impacts and intrusions into sensitive areas.

Audience

Town planners and all those wishing to build and assess their knowledge of the topic, in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

This Knowledge Builder provides a detailed overview of the reasons behind the growth of ecotourism and its impact for spatial planners. Additionally a comprehensive range of further reading is provided for those who wish to become expert in the subject. Includes voluntary self assessment for recording continuous professional development (CPD).
