RESPONSIBLE TOURISM

In a biosphere context, sustainable and responsible tourism is shown to be the most promising factor for local development. This can be explained in the way biosphere reserves promote the natural and cultural assets of an area, which potentially attracts tourism markets. In a sense this is a commoditisation of natural and cultural capital, which creates advantages and opportunities for sustainable growth and an improved tourist experience (Kuˇsov’a, et al., 2008).
