Abstract
Tourism development is highly dependent on the quantity, quality, and characteristics of available land. Therefore, issues that affect land resources tend to also have an influence—positive or negative—on tourism. However, a plethora of issues are associated with the acquisition and use of land for tourism, recreation, and leisure purposes. Several of these issues are related to the protection and conservation of natural and cultural-heritage resources within protected areas and other parts of tourist destinations. More contemporary issues include overcrowding and the disturbance of local residents, expressed through a phenomenon called overtourism. Land issues and tourism tend to be magnified in developing countries where economic transformation and urbanization are rapid. The transfer of agricultural lands in rural areas for tourism uses and into protected areas raises several issues with respect to land use, transfer, and management. Landscapes are often the main attraction for tourists, and their presentation and interpretation are vital in this respect. However, tourism development is paradoxical; in some cases, it beautifies existing landscapes while, in other situations, landscapes are spoiled by the intrusion of tourism and recreation.
