Editor's Notes
- We are very happy to announce release of the new IUCN Best Practice Guidelines on Tourism and Visitor Management in Protected Areas This is the 3rd edition of the sustainable tourism BPG’s, following guidelines published in 1992 by McNeely, Thorsell and Ceballos-Lascurain in1992, and a decade later by Eagles, McCool and Haynes in 2002. The IUCN WCPA TAPAS Group has produced these Best Practice Guidelines in order to provide valuable information, stimulating ideas and sources of inspiration for protected area managers. Through these Guidelines, we envision that a community of practice on protected area tourism be formed in which best practices are shared and communicated globally through various platforms and media. You can access the guidelines, along with other WCPA Best Practice guidelines, at this weblink.
- The guidelines contain 7 chapters, with a suite of best practice examples and case studies from across the world. The guidelines address sustainability challenges, impacts of tourism, alignment with protected area management objectives, adaptive management, capacity building and managing tourism revenues for conservation. The chapter on tourism revenues complements and reinforces the tourism concession guidelines that have been discussed here today.
- To provide more support for knowledge sharing in this community, and to support the Guidelines, a supporting Online Resources Directory is available. The purposes of this Directory are firstly to provide additional online readings and detailed information, and secondly to invite submission and sharing of new resources, such as guidelines, handbooks, manuals, and documentation of innovative practices. You can search the directory by keywords, authors, or location, or access the full list of materials in the database. If you have additional materials that you would like to add to the database to share, there is also a publication submission form on the site.
- To further support the outreach and dissemination of the guidelines, they are being adapted for an IUCN Massive Open Online Course – a MOOC – with the IUCN PAPACO program. This will be available in English and French – for free – online in January 2019
- We would like to sincerely thank the sponsors of this guideline, for making its development, translation, and printing possible. Also thanks to the contributors, peer reviewers and editors who have worked so hard to make this guideline come to fruition.
