abstract:
Despite its recent foundation (1997), the Asinara National Park
(located in island not far from the northwestern coasts of Sardinia, Italy) has
recorded a growing trend in tourism demand and visitors of all types in recent
years. However, irresponsible tourism can have negative environmental
impacts often made worse by the concentration of tourists in space and time.
After analyzing the attractions, services offered, activities available, access and
transport and quantifying the flow of tourism, arrivals and stays, availability of
accommodation, water resources, etc. this paper aims to identify the actions
needed to create an appropriate model for the evaluation of the tourism
carrying capacity that the Park’s territory can sustain.
