Abstract
Discusses the relationship between tourism strategies and heritage conservation in Hong Kong, using the example of the wetland conservation site of Mai Po. The author describes the importance of the site as a resting place for migratory birds. Nevertheless, tourism is expected to grow rapidly in the region in the next decade, due to government policies favoring development. In recent years the number of visitors to the Mai Po site has been increasing, which could put the area at risk. Visitors need to be informed of the significance of environmental conservation. The author also explains how traditional fishpond farming contributes to wetland conservation. Residential development pressures are changing the fragile equilibrium and reducing the area given over to the fishponds.
