Nature based tourism is a new tourism sector which has experienced significant growth in recent years. It is defined as tourism which uses nature as a basis for the product, and connecting with nature is the main attraction for visitors. Nature-based tourism offers significant opportunities, especially for Northern Periphery areas, and can support both conservation and employment across the region. However, development in this sector must be managed in the correct manner, in order to ensure that growth does not hamper the essence of the product.
