The challenge of ecotourism: Application and prospects for implementation in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and Russia

Abstract

A significant sector of the international tourism industry focusses on the natural and cultural attributes of target destinations and sites. The more natural and unusual the attraction the greater the value to the industry and hence the greater the promotion of the venue. However, this pattern of exploitation could prove to be a short cut to actually degrading the object of attraction and hence its pulling power.
