Abstract

The chapter, part of the broader debate about the concept of sustainable tourism, pays particular attention to the characteristics and environmental, social, and economic effects of tourist flows in protected natural areas. The concept of sustainable tourism includes all those forms of tourism that are neither invasive nor destructive in relation to natural and cultural resources. The combination of tourism, protected areas, and sustainability is, in fact, a central lever in the analysis of local development processes. Based on the results of the survey, they identify several aspects that make up the profile of users, develop a sustainability index, assess the local impact of tourist flows, and reflect on socio-economic development processes in light of the consequences of the pandemic.
