“…As a means of protecting conservation, some managers restrict access to heritage resources where excess visitor numbers may result in overcrowding or cause damage (Austin, 2002;Mason, 2005;Santana-Jiménez & Hernández, 2011). Indeed, some managers at HVAs with a strictly curatorial imperative consider themselves more as guardians of heritage, rather than providers of access to heritage, consequently concluding that "public access is not a prominent part of management consideration" (Garrod & Fyall, 2000, p. 684).…”

“…The idea of tailor-made tourism is further being widespread as a result of the profound economic development (which directly influence the tourism market) as well as various educational programmes that are tourism activitybased. This is further supported by [15] who highlights the significance of understanding the influence level of age on time-varying factors (for instance population and preference), which manipulates the supply-side factors (for example types of resources and destinations attributes). [16] accentuate the contentious and continuous concerns towards accessibility regulation, usage limitation and resource management; of which, raises '...questions about the efficacy of use limits to actually achieve management goals', in the context of 'time spend'.…”

Abstract. This working paper focuses in enjoyment factors, specifically: number of beach users, perceived maximum number of beach users accepted, perceived maximum number of beach users that affects the tourism experience and perceived maximum number of beach users that affects the beach quality. At a deeper extent, the evaluation is categorized by number of visitation, visitation motivations, and Chenang Island's push and pull factors. Relationships between variables were assessed using a two-phase evaluation framework where interestingly, only one demographic factor works with all the studied independent variables. It is also learned that the density of an area (number of people seen) is considered as an accepted crowding factor, as opposed to this working paper scope (experienced crowding). A unique relationship was observed for crowding level, and visitation satisfaction level and overall evaluation of Chenang beach quality. This working paper further supports the previous literature on the significance of beach carrying capacity management and it is learned that the idea of crowding standard is interlinks with 'gender, 'time spend' and 'number of boaters'. From findings, this

“…In the last few decades, the traditional productive activities (ranching, artisanal fishing and farming in gavias) have been mainly substituted by tourism and related activities. Tourism has represented the main driving force of the socio-economic and environmental changes on the island, concentrated mostly along the coast (Fernández-Palacios and Whittaker 2008;Santana-Jiménez and Hernández 2011), which may be considered as threats to the houbara population, due to the loss of habitat (Lorenzo 2004;Carrascal et al 2008).…”

Dynamic modelling of the potential habitat loss of endangered species: the case of the Canarian houbara bustard (Chlamydotis undulata fuerteventurae)

In this work, we apply a dynamic modelling approach to analyse the habitat loss of the Canarian houbara bustard (Chlamydotis undulata fuerteventurae). This tool allows us to assess the effects of the socio-economic and environmental interactions on the factors threatening the habitat and to carry out a prospective analysis. The results show a potential habitat loss of around 13 % during the period 1996-2011, the land uptake and increase in new roads and tracks being the factors contributing most. After model testing, a set of scenarios was explored. Under the business as usual (BAU) scenario, around 20 % of the habitat would be lost by the end of the period considered (2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019)(2020)(2021)(2022)(2023)(2024)(2025). The impact of the economic growth scenario on the habitat would mean an additional loss of around 21 % with respect to BAU, whereas under the recession scenario, the loss might be around 6.5 % lower than BAU. The policy of restoration of gavias-traditional farming systems-would suppose an additional loss of almost 6 %, relative to BAU. If this policy took place under economic growth conditions, it might mean an additional loss of almost 28 % relative to BAU. These results point to the existence of a potential trade-off between the recuperation of ecosystem services offered by restored gavias and the conservation of the houbara habitat, which must be addressed within the management processes, as well as to the need for compensatory measures to guarantee the conservation goals.
