Экологический туризм на особо охраняемых природных территориях: рекреационная деятельность и охрана окружающей среды

Abstract

The article deals with the problems of the legal regulation of the organisation of the tourist and recreational activities in specially protected natural areas. Traditionally implemented in specially protected natural territories, the task of preserving unique natural complexes and biodiversity in isolated conditions is currently being transformed into the practical task of integrating them into the socio-economic space. Ecological tourism combines recreational, educational and investment activities in specially protected natural areas in the most effective way and is based on environmental principles. The article explores the legal mechanisms that ensure a simultaneous effective combination of the protection of specially protected natural territories and the implementation of tourism activities in the context of sustainable development goals: unique regime of protection and use for each category of specially protected natural areas; environmental restrictions and prohibitions on the implementation of activities in such areas; zoning their territory; their maximum permissible recreational capacity.
