PRECONDITIONS FOR<br />
SUCCESS<br />
• A second critical precondition for success is appropriate<br />
and effective planning and management of tourism at<br />
destinations.<br />
• The need for visitor management planning arises from the<br />
fact that whilst the private sector driven tourism industry<br />
may be successful at attracting visitors to destinations, it<br />
is often less successful at protecting destinations from<br />
the negative effects of tourism development. The visitor<br />
management planning process is concerned with how to<br />
accommodate visitors whilst minimizing the adverse<br />
impacts that they may cause.<br />
• International experience points to the need for local<br />
partnerships between local authority and private sector<br />
and development of local tourism plans.
