Environmental Concerns and Appropriate Uses of National Parks

What is it about?

Human behaviour plays a significant role in preserving or degrading the environment. To put into practice the notion of ‘use without abuse’, it is vital for national park managers to be cognizant of tourists' attitudes and beliefs, which in turn affect their behaviours. This study evaluates the attitudes of domestic and international tourists regarding the appropriate uses of national parks, as well as their environmental concerns.
