Ecotourism, understood as a form of leisure conforming with the principles of environmental protection and promoting its natural and cultural values, is dynamically developing in almost all parts of the world. Properly carried out, ecotourism projects may be an essential instrument of regional development. Problems of ecotourism development in four areas of West Africa, i.e. the Comoe National Park (Ivory Coast), the Dogoń Country (Mali), the northern Dallol Boss Region and Koure (Niger), and the Air and Tenere Natural Reserves (Niger) are discussed in the article. A common characteristic of the chosen areas are their significant natural and cultural values and the occurrence of tourist activeness allowing to ąualify them as ecotouristic sites. The analysis of both external and internal success factors in ecotourism leads to the conclusion that, in the discussed regions, ecotourism development is a positive phenomenon. It should, however, be accompanied by continuous supervision of environmental conditions and ecological education of the local population.

Przyroda w swej formie ożywionej i nieożywionej jest warunkiem koniecznym istnienia gospodarki turystycznej, w pewnym sensie jest podstawowym składnikiem produktu turystycznego. Dlatego uznano, że warto dokonać analizy mechanizmów legislacyjnych, które warunkują od strony prawnej zabezpieczenie jakości głównych zasobów produkcyjnych gospodarki turystycznej w Polsce. Produktywne zarządzanie, jego efektywność ekonomiczna i organizacyjna, wymagają niejakiej znajomości reguł ustawodawczych w zakresie tworzenia warunków dla rozwoju turystyki zrównoważonej.

The nature, in its animate and inanimate form is the precondition of the tourist industry, in a sense the former is the basic material for the latter. Therefore we have decided that it is worthwhile executing the analysis of the legislative mechanisms which legally condition the security of the main production resources of the tourist industry in Poland. Productive management, its economic and organisational efficiency require a certain acquaintance with the legislative rules within this scope. The authors of this study are focused on the description of the legal conditionings of organisation and management in the Polish system of environmental protection.

This paper concerns the problem of adapting river valley landscapes to tourism, especially to ecotourism. River valleys are closely connected with human civilization, despite being completely natural in their origin. The activity of watercourses can sometimes destroy cultural heritage sties, but they can also help transport goods over long distances. Consequently, by changing its neighborhood, a river also changes itself. The diversity and beauty of their landscapes make these areas very interesting for tourists. This fact, connected with the traditional ways of using rivers and theirs valleys, creates an increase in the danger of synanthropization. Therefore, we are facing the challenge of how to show the wide range of interesting ecosystems these areas consist of, without harming them. Nowadays, every tourist event and venue should consult the sustainable development assumptions. Ecotourism seems to be the most suitable way to solve this problem. Nevertheless, this kind of tourism is not for everyone. It contains several really important factors and, in fact, it is not always easy to create and participate in ecotourism. Some new possibilities, such as ecomuseums or an ecotourism river track, can become an opportunity to present river valley landscapes quite safely and on a satisfactory level of tourist organization.

On the one hand in recent years nature tourism (turystyka przyrodnicza) has constituted a significant part of the tourism industry, on the other it has caused many problems for researchers attempting to define the phenomenon. Should the tourism destination or its primary motivation determine its categorisation? Is there indeed a need when considering practice as well as theory? The authors of the article have attempted a discourse with both foreign and domestic literature and subsequently sought to find the perceived meaning of turystyka przyrodnicza (nature tourism) amongst students of Poznań University particularly those associated with the natural environment on their degree courses. The present article should be considered as a contribution to further work in this field theoretically as well as practically.

Celem artykułu jest ukazanie korzystnego wpływu polskiej sieci ekoturystycznej „Między Bugiem a Narwią” na pobudzanie zrównoważonego rozwoju obszarów wiejskich w Polsce. W pracy przedstawiono niektóre, wybrane działania na rzecz rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego, które autorzy zidentyfikowali, analizując działalność poszczególnych członków sieci zlokalizowanych w powiecie ostrowskim na Mazowszu. W artykule przedstawiono interesujące przedsięwzięcia, wpisujące się w koncepcję zrównoważonego rozwoju zarówno lidera sieci, jak i tych członków, którzy wydają się w mniejszym stopniu identyfikować z siecią, jednak są członkami sieci, więc działają w jej ramach. W pracy zaprezentowano inne instytucje, które – zainspirowane formami aktywności członków sieci – włączyły się w działania na rzecz zrównoważonego rozwoju badanego obszaru. Jednocześnie działania prorozwojowe członków sieci mogą wychodzić poza teren powiatu ostrowskiego, które też częściowo zidentyfikowano.

The aim of the chapter is to demonstrate the impact of the ecotourism network „Between Bug and Narew” on the sustainable development of the Ostrów poviat in Mazovia. This influence was demonstrated by presenting the implemented activities for socio-economic development, which the author identified by analyzing the activities of network members. The chapter presents projectsthat fit into the concept of sustainable development of both the network leader and those who seem to be less identified with the network, but operate within its framework. The institution will also be presented, which, inspired by the forms of activity of the network members, joined the activities for the sustainable development of the poviat. At the same time, pro-development activities of network members may go beyond the poviat's area, as was also written about.

Seabirds are biological models for habitat selection studies at different spatial scales. In general, seabirds select areas with a higher availability of prey, but human disturbances can modify their spatial and temporal foraging patterns in urban coastal ecosystems. Here we tested the hypothesis that human activities prevent seabirds foraging on beach sectors that are impacted by urbanization and recreational activities. Seabirds were counted while foraging at the interface between the surf zone and foreshore in three sectors with different levels of urbanization in southeastern Brazil. Physical variables, prey abundance, and human stressors, such as the number of people and dogs, were also measured. The brown booby Sula leucogaster foraged mainlyin the least impacted sector, despite the lower abundance of prey and harsher physical conditions. The number of individuals of this species was negatively related to the number of people, indicating a human-induced avoidance behaviour. In turn, the kelp gull Larus dominicanus, asynatropic species, was more abundant in the high impact sector. Our results have implications for the management and conservation of sandy beaches, especially regarding the zoning and selection of priority areas for environmental protection and nature-based ecotourism activities.

The need for conservation and protection of natural ecosystems from the consequences of non-rational exploitation is a key issue for all industries. Tourism depends strongly on the quality of environment, but it can contribute to degrading or saving vulnerable ecosystems. The development of infrastructure for ecotourism is a way of mitigating the negative consequences of human activity and solving a range of related problems in the local labor market as well as improving living standards. The authors describe a series of actions aimed at developing ecotourism, which have been partially implemented in the Smotrytsky Canyon. In addition to presenting characteristics of the ecological and cultural value of the canyon, the authors analyze how it is affected by the existing anthropogenic factors. A list of necessary actions for environment restoration is presented, with special emphasis on erosion control, including plans for their implementation. Finally, the authors consider economic problems of developing ecotourism infrastructure and ways of minimizing their financial costs.

Border areas are a real challenge for tourism development. Usually associated with the periphery from a socio-economic point of view, these areas often have natural potential and attractive landscapes that have been little transformed by human activity and numerous historical and cultural tourist attractions. Although these areas have considerable tourism potential, this is not sufficient for the sustainable development of tourism and the exploitation of this potential is strongly influenced by the degree of permeability of the border. This is the case of the Romanian-Serbian border, which overlaps the most spectacular sector of the Danube – the Iron Gates Gorge. The main aim of this article is to analyse the role of tourism in the development of border areas and how it functions in a particular territorial context: the Danube Gorge located at the border between Romania and Serbia. The Romanian-Serbian border currently functions as an external border of the European Union in a favourable historical and political context, given the tradition of good neighbourliness between the two entities, the states located on either side of the Danube. However, the communist period altered the prospects for tourism development in this region through a very drastic and controlled border regime, even though the area benefited from major investment projects, such as the dam and hydroelectric power station at Porțile de Fier, built in the 1970s in cooperation with the former Yugoslavia. An analysis of the statistical data on tourism development shows that tourist traffic is on the increase, although there is a contradiction between the upward trend in tourist flows and the backwardness of large-scale tourist infrastructure, with the dominant type of accommodation being small, flexible, and rural accommodation that does not require large investments. The results presented in this article can be summarised in the general conclusion that the development of tourism in the Danube Gorge–Iron Gates remains dependent on the political factor and the border regime, even though the region has a remarkable tourism potential.

This study empirically examines the impact of forests on economic growth in Nigeria for the period of 1990 to 2015. Unit root tests were carried out using the Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) test, while the Bounds cointegration test was used to establish a long run relationship between the forests and other independent variables and economic growth. An Error Correction Model (ECM) was also employed to determine the nature of the long run relationship. The findings show that forests have a positive effect on economic growth, however, this is not statistically significant. This study recommends that the government should intensify its efforts in the forestry sector so as to improve the productivity of forest resources in Nigeria. Moreover, the Nigerian government should discourage illegal felling of trees and the importation of timber products, as well as engage and develop the rural communities to reduce the pressure on forest resources and ensure sustainable use. The study also recommends the sustainable use of forest resources through ecotourism and the development of the forestry value chain in Nigeria.

Conserving biodiversity is a major necessity, as human interference causes loss of this. Tourism is not exempt from this. Still, ecotourism, a sub-component of the field of sustainable tourism, has more positive effects. The primary objective of this work is to ascertain the condition of ecotourism in the study area. The secondary objectives are to identify the challenges and progress of biodiversity by way of ecotourist activity, and to suggest solutions to promote best outcome and to overcome the challenges of ecotourism. China Bay (Marble Beach), Kanniya Hot Wells, Nilaveli Beach, Pullmottai Beach (Arisimalai), Lanka Patina and Trincomalee Beach are renown places for tourism in Trincomalee District. The condition of the ecotourism industry in Trincomalee District was identified by means of questionnaire survey and direct observation. Our work shows that the coastal areas are particularly rich in biodiversity and in offering scenic values. Many environmental challenges were identified and remedial measures, suggested.

The purpose of this article is to evaluate the possibilities of touristic development of the La Lopé National Park and to indicate the most important barriers and limitations of the area exploitation. For this purpose a SWOT method was applied. This assignment presents the situation as of the end of 2014. The majority of the up-to-date data was collected during the mission, the purpose of which was to observe the region, and which was organized by Université Omar Bongo in Libreville and Warsaw University. The La Lopé National Park has a significant touristic potential which is very poorly used. The diagnose of the reasons for that can be an indicator for attempts to rationally use the resources of the region and present an appropriate development strategy.

In 2020 and 2021, the entire evolution of human society is under the sign of a paradox, of the adversity of events, coming in avalanche. The tourist evolutions themselves suffer the imprint of the paradox. These paradoxes urgently require new paradigms, the famous ‘paradigm shifts’, mentality, optics, action. The purpose of this research is to outline the main aspects of the research problem and diagnose the situation, with focus on identifying hypotheses for future descriptive or causal research as well as to explore the reasons, attitudes and values of the paradigm and paradox, which differentiate the two notions approached: testing new concepts of forecasting, a product specific to the destination under analysis and in identifying other viable, sustainable alternatives and their analysis in parallel with modelling and promoting new ideas of tourism products or services, respectively improving the existing ones. This article aims to capitalise on the paradox, already successfully applied in economics by the author of the method and in shaping and delimiting ecotourism (in particular the ecotourism from the destination Țara Hațegului – Retezat), emphasising the role of self-contradiction of the field, through a specific type of economic reasoning, in which the rapid evolution of tourism risks are becoming its own cause of its disappearance, knowing that too much tourism kills tourism. Responsibility and the mesological spirit are the only ways to counteract the paradox phenomenon, even a paradigm in the metamorphosis of ecotourism.

This article considers the influence of ecotourism, a fast-developing form of tourism, on an important area in the functioning of the tourism market, which is the behaviour of its participants. The aim of the article is to present the way in which the developing concept and principles of ecotourism can affect the behaviour of consumers (tourists) and the activity of tour operators (providers of tourism services). The authors propose a unique research approach which consist in addressing both the expectations on the part of tourists as well as those related to business targets of the tourism industry. This article presents conceptual framework and outlines methodical approach which can be useful for the future research. Twelve types of behaviour regarding both tourists and tour operators were distinguished, followed by a description of the character of the possible influence of ecotourism on each of them. In this way the article also presents an outline of a new approach to managing business (including market relations), taking into consideration the growing popularity and importance of ecotourism.

The Indian Ocean island of Rodrigues provides an interesting landscape case study. It offers a characteristic example of a small island territory whose natural and environmental resources have been overexploited by human activity and whose inhabitants are now clinging to the remains of its symbolic heritage in an attempt to implement conservation and sustainable reconstruction. From this perspective, rurality, with its attendant agricultural practices, its traditional gardens and its natural or humanized landscapes, has become an essential asset; one which the island is trying to promote by means of a tourist strategy based on the enhancement of economic and identity-focused parameters.

The article discusses the essence and significance of the healthy lifestyle as an important component of the tourism consistent with the sustainable development model. The change in the paradigm of science was presented which has found its reflection in, among other things, popularisation of the idea of eco-development. One of the core elements of the sustainability are: to live in harmony with nature and take carre about the quality of the environment now and for future generations. There are many indicators, which have an influance on the human health. One of the most important factors are: the lifestyle and environment (natural and social). The change of lifestyle and leisure habbits for healthy ones, can be the first step to the eco-development. Although, the tourism strongly depands on the quality of natural environment, scarcely the minority of society is aware that the tourism fullfils as well a pro-healthy function as forms the ecollogical consciousness. The sustainable tourism is becoming increasingly important on this area. It’s idea is based on the model of sustainable development. According to the definition, it includes all forms of tourism development, management and tourism acitivities that support ecological, social and economic integrity of areas, and preserve their natural and cultural resources. It is concluded that the balanced tourism can be one of the relevant elements of a healthy lifestyle.

The pristine of nature, rich culture and history of this land are ecotouristic attractions. Ecoturism is a form of active tourism involving visiting relatively undisturbed, often protected natural areas as: national or landscape parks and sanctuaries. This is tourism to areas of highly cultural and historical values, too.
