Building Nepal's Private Sector Capacity For Sustainable Tourism Operations: A Collection Of Best Practices And Resulting Business Benefits
This manual has been developed as a contribution to the “Linking Conservation of Biodiversity and Sustainable Tourism at World Heritage Sites” project, which was funded by the United Nations Foundation (UNF) and developed in partnership with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and RARE.
The four-year project, which began in 2001, was designed to develop the capacity of World Heritage sites to preserve biodiversity through sustainable tourism. Piloted in six World Heritage sites (four in Central America and two in Indonesia), the project sought to provide replicable approaches and tools to help World Heritage sites and national parks managers worldwide develop tourism in a way that benefits both biodiversity conservation and also local communities.
