Abstract
Discusses a world-wide problem, that of how to combine conservation with tourism. One needs to examine local community needs and measure the capacity to absorb visitors; take accurate censuses of visits, times, and seasonal variations; consider a booking system; apply part of the tourist revenue to conservation works; educate tourists; design routes to minimize harm; and control tourist numbers to a desirable level.
