Will the Sustainable Tourism Strategy Help the Mt. Praděd Area?
The Mt. Praděd Nature National Reserve (the Jeseníky Mts. Protected Landscape Area, northern Moravia) is the largest Nature National Reserve (NNR) in the Czech Republic, covering just 2,000 hectares. The area has been protected since 1955. As a popular ski destination, the NNR has had to be faced with various affects, related both to tourism and sport activities carried out by visitors and associated phenomena, e.g.building the transport infrastructure or accommodation capacities.
The current situation could be improved by the recently developed sustainable tourism strategy for the Mt. Praděd area. A background study analysed the area’s current status and problems raised particularly within the tourism and nature conservation and landscape protection relationship. Based on the analysis, targets, measures and indicators monitoring effects of possibly implemented steps were developed. Consequently, the strategy of the Mt. Praděd area development was elaborated, aiming at management of the area for the next decade.
