Abstract
The present concern for sustainable development and environmental protection poses questions for tourism developers and the managers of destinations about the values which are afforded the environment of tourism. Development has often ignored the values of local people and as a result has failed to take account of naturally occurring changes in the natural resource itself. At the same time, it is possible to acknowledge both the values and the changes in the design of new tourism destinations so that both the local resources and the tourism product have better chances of sustained use.
