Executive Summary: A master plan that combines tourism, conservation, and research offers a mechanism for developing and other countries to preserve their natural and cultural treasures while at the same time attracting appropriate tourism development. Since conservation for its own sake is not sufficient to preserve a nation's heritage, a plan that integrates ecotourism with interpretation of a cultural heritage seems to be the wisest course. An even stronger case can be made when research or discovery is part of the preservation package, and travelers can participate in the creation of knowledge.
