Visitor management
1.What are the possibilities and limitations
of the park?
2.What do the tourists want?
3 A:What does the park want?
B:How will the park achieve what it wants?
C:Do they realise what they want and how can the
management be improved?
zThe
vehicle that we want to use to achieve
this goal is the model of a visitor management
plan and a tourism development strategy
which is used in Pan Parks.
Pan Park is a quality brand that stands for:
Principle 1 :Protected areas with rich natural heritage
Principle 2 :Nature Management
Principle 3:Visitor Management
Principle 4 :Sustainable Tourism Development Strategy
Principle 5 :Business Partners
Principle 6 :Sponsors
Change tourism from a threat into an opportunity
Why do we choose a visitor-oriented
approach
Tourism developments take place in the desired direction
(realizing goals and objectives)
Higher visitor satisfaction with indirect benefits
(return visits, expenditures, promotion, public support,
economic benefits park and local population)
Better control visitor behaviour
Effectively appliance of visitor management strategies
and techniques
Attracting desired type of visitors
Justification investments
What have we done thus far and
what are our plans

zPark analysis will be done with
several parties (to be discussed)
zBoth analyses will be used as input for a
workshop for members of the board.
- What does the park want?
- How will the park achieve what it wants?
