Mountain tourism has grown, attracting adventure tourists, vacationers, and nature enthusiasts. However, this rise in popularity comes with complex challenges, including cultural heritage preservation, environmental integrity of mountain regions, and tourism accommodations. Balancing these three elements requires a delicate approach that considers the long-term sustainability of the region. While tourism brings economic benefits and promotes cultural exchange, unchecked growth can lead to environmental degradation, overcrowding, and the erosion of local traditions. This balance requires thoughtful planning, collaboration, and the implementation of sustainable practices. Balancing Mountain Tourism, Cultural Heritage, and Environmental Stability explores the convergence of mountain tourism and environmental stability. It examines how mountain destinations can thrive without sacrificing the qualities that make them unique and valuable. This book covers topics such as ecology, ecotourism, and sustainability, and is a useful resource for tourism professionals, business owners, ecologists, academicians, researchers, and environmental scientists.
