Abstract
![CDATA[Tourism is an increasingly important feature of protected area management, an opportunity for new conservation partnerships and a potential source of financing. It can also increase pressure on protected areas due to rapidly escalating interest in visitation and nature-based tourism. Tourism and visitation to protected areas is thus an important area that will gain prominence in conservation planning and management.]]
