1. Abstract
This is a time of change in tourism values around the world. Consumers increasingly demand environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions during their time off from work. The new trend is nature tourism, which involves staying at tourism centers constructed near nature conservation areas. In addition to attitudes, social structures and legislation have an impact on the construction, site selection and activities of tourism centers. NGOs and local inhabitants often actively follow various tourism projects and try to have their say on how they are implemented. Nature conservation, local sustainable development and tourism cannot be combined without many challenges ensuing.
Sustainable Tourism is tourism attempting to make as low impact on the environment and local culture as possible, while helping to generate future employment for local people. The aim of sustainable tourism is to ensure that development brings a positive experience for local people, tourism companies and the tourists themselves Sustainable tourists can reduce the impact of tourism in many ways: * informing themselves of the culture, politics, and economy of the communities visited * anticipating and respecting local cultures,
