The Chances and Risks of an Ecotourism Project in
Venezuela. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Sep 2008, Pages: 100
Ecotourism is a form of sustainable tourism which
needs to be supported worldwide. The demand of
nature-orientated vacation is still rising and so are
the various offers. However the definition of
ecotourism varies in different countries and in
different reports. Which is the correct definition?
Which guidelines have been developed to examine
ecotourism projects? What are the specific criteria
of an ecotourist? The author, Annette Kalchreuter,
deals with the subject by taking into account the
ecotourism project 'Proyecto Paria' on the Paria
Peninsula in Venezuela. A SWOT Analysis about the
strengths and weaknesses of the project delivers
insight into the topic. The results provide
recommendations for the future marketing of the
project. The international ecotourism market, the
Venezuelan ecotourism market and the German
ecotourism market are studied and analysed. The
research is based on interviews with tourism experts
and politicians, a questionnaire for tourists,
international guidelines of ecotourism and scientific
literature. The book is a helpful guide for tourism
experts, students of tourism, VSO workers, and people
who are interested in ecotourism or tourism in Venezuela.
