PROBLEMS OF PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL HERITAGE IN CULTURAL TOURISM

  • 1. Azerbaijan State University of Culture and Art (Azerbaijan)

Description

Weak control of the tourism sector, which has economic, social and cultural benefits, excessive use of natural resources and wrong choice of location can have negative effects on the environment, such as the destruction of natural areas, historical values and coastal areas. Also, natural areas of life have been turned into modern holiday settlements, endangered summer houses and beaches have been turned into tourist facilities in the growing tourism sector in our country.

Ugly and uncontrolled structures are growing, wildlife is being abused and tours are being organized without recognizing the flora and fauna and without knowing the region’s potential due to the lack of national or regional ecotourism thinking. No matter how well-organized and environmentally friendly the tours are, it is a fact that this tourism, which is carried out without a plan, without control and without studying the capacity of the region, will not be ecotourism.
