The Protected Environment already has a number of individual tourism activities on private land. The aim of the responsible tourism programme is provide a platform for these existing tourism ventures to be recognised under the Protected Environment banner. There is also potential for collaborative tourism ventures within the Protected Environment. Collaborative tourism represents an opportunity to create financial support for the Protected Environment by generating revenue which will allow management plan objectives to be met. As the Protected Environment is only newly established, the first management plan cycle will aim to investigate possible ventures and work on establishing these ventures as a viable product through collaborative input and planning.
