Forest-based tourism and recreation: Balancing conservation and economic development.

Thesis Abstract

The project aims to explore the concept of forest-based tourism and recreation, focusing on the delicate balance between conservation and economic development. Forests are not only valuable for their ecological significance but also for their potential to attract tourists and provide recreational opportunities. However, the increasing demand for forest-based tourism and recreation activities poses challenges in terms of sustainable management and conservation. This project will examine the various aspects of forest-based tourism and recreation, including its impacts on forest ecosystems, local communities, and the economy. It will also explore strategies and best practices for achieving a balance between conservation goals and economic development in forest tourism.
