Description

1. INTRODUCTION According to the research by Lisowski (2003), the term "ecotourism" first appeared during the 1970s and is most popularly defined as travel to natural areas in ways that conserve the environment and improve the welfare of local people. Within the theory of tourism management, Weave and Lawton (2002) pointed out that natural sites(as one of pull factors of ecotourism at destination areas), mainly include topography, water, wildlife, protected natural areas, climate and vegetation resources. Further, in the research by Beeton (1998), there is a some general agreement on the elements of ecotourism, of which there are three main ones: ecotourism is nature-based;it is educative (education towards the environment) and it is managed in a sustainable manner. But the recent development of ecotoiurism has deviated from the requirements of those elments and the development of ecotourism has already resulted in many negative impacts on natural resources, the protection of natural attractions within the tourism destinations shows great significance for ecotourism development. Objectives of this paper are to review and advance the statements of knowledge about the significance of protection of natural sites within the development of ecotourism and explain why the protection of nature sites is an important issue for ecotourism development.
