“…For Mehlomakhulu and Buschke (2023) indicate that, the tourism industry is multidimensional and, therefore, the demand for tourism developed in natural areas, is determined by market segmentation (Derek et al, 2019) The use of natural spaces for tourist activities involves carrying out a study, through a holistic approach, that allows evaluating their use and valuation by tourists, to improve proper planning and management of the destination based on natural areas, considering the economic value they give to these spaces (Derek et al, 2019). The increase of tourism activities in protected natural areas is continuous, so it can be considered an ally or a threat to conservation, therefore, it is vital to evaluate and prevent the possible impacts on them, articulating the public use of these for the realisation of sustainable tourism management (Canteiro et al, 2018) Local communities close to natural areas consider that maintaining local biodiversity and ecological integrity are vital to develop sustainable tourism, so they participate in the conservation of it (Zhang et al, 2024), even more so if these communities develop recreational activities, obtaining benefits that are perceived positively (Stachowiak et al, 2022).…”

Purpose: This study analyzes the impact of tourism on the inhabitants of Lake Sandoval in the Tambopata National Reserve – Peru. Theoretical Background: Developing tourism in Sandoval Lake is framed under the nature-based tourism, ecotourism and Community-based tourism, where the villagers are the main human resource to develop tourism activities, taking advantage of the scenic beauty of Sandoval Lake. Method: Applying a qualitative case study approach that followed a qualitative route and approach, through judgmental sampling, an in-depth interview was applied to all the entrepreneurs whose business is located around Sandoval Lake. Results and Conclusion: The villagers have developed businesses that offer tourist services such as lodging, restaurants and rain transportation, considering that they all descend from the same marriage, they perceive tourism as a main economic activity that allows them to improve their quality of life, contribute to the household economy and conserve the area. Implications of the Research: The study suggests that local managers should have greater communication with the villagers to develop effective management, this relationship will allow opening spaces for research in similar areas. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature on the impact of tourism in natural protected areas, especially in Lake Sandoval, considering that there is scarce literature on the area and even more so, given that the local people perceive tourism as a positive economic alternative in a region where illegal mining is prevalent and destroys the Amazonian forests. The relevance and value of this research is evidenced by the fact that it is the first research that directly investigates the impact of tourism as a main economic activity.

Regions share common characteristics and have the ability to influence each other. Surakarta, Karanganyar, and Magetan City, possess tourist attractions that are interconnected and have a mutual influence. The rapid growth and changes in land use along the border of Karanganyar and Magetan especially, align with the development of these tourist attractions, making it essential to study the sustainability of this regional development. Tourism in natural landscapes is influenced by both built capital, such as infrastructure, and natural capital, such as mountains or protected areas. This study aims to assess the sustainability of regional development by analyzing the ecological and built environment typology. The research will identify the spatial typology of tourist attractions in the study area and utilize satellite imagery data to examine the characteristics of tourism corridors. Kernel density analysis used to identify the built environment density over the ecological environment and tourist attractions. The results of the study indicate that tourist attractions and the built environment that supports them have the potential to threaten the sustainability of regional development because they are located in protected forest areas. The findings of this typology will contribute to the sustainable development of tourism in the Surakarta-Karanganyar-Magetan corridor, focusing on the interventions that need to be carried out by relevant stakeholders.

Subject. This article discusses the issues of development of ecological tourism and provision of ecosystem services. Objectives. The article aims to develop an algorithm for the cost assessment of green tourism, which can help determine the contribution of natural areas of preferential protection to the gross regional product. Methods. For the study, we used a statistical analysis. Results. The article proposes a methodology for assessing the social efficiency of investment projects in the development of specially protected natural areas. It finds that the contribution of the most visited specially protected natural areas located in mountainous areas to the economy ranges from 0.1 up to 3 percent of the gross regional product. Conclusions. It is necessary to attract private investment for the development of ecological tourism in compliance with the environmental standards. In terms of contribution to the gross regional product, ecological tourism is comparable to ordinary tourism in those subjects of the Russian Federation where the most visited specially protected natural areas are located. An important task is the adoption of methodologies, the results of which will be recognized by statistical bodies officially.
