Scientific Tourism Governance Model
Framework and Implementation Handbook
Developed by Sustainable Tourism Expert, Maria José Abuabara
01
The Scientific Tourism Governance Model is a framework that links scientific monitoring, tourism management, and environmental governance
within a single decision-making architecture
02
This framework enables destinations to transform tourism from a potential source of environmental pressure into a platform for environmental stewardship and scientific discovery
03
The framework establishes mechanisms for generating ecological knowledge and integrating those insights into tourism governance through collaboration among tourism authorities, environmental regulators, scientific
institutions, tourism industry stakeholders
04
This is a multi-phase process that includes the identification of environmentally sensitive zones, the formation of scientific task forces, the execution of monitoring missions, and the translation of scientific findings into policies regulting human use of sensitive ecosystems
