Summary

While acknowledging negative impacts of tourism and outdoor recreation on cultural landscapes and social systems, this chapter focuses on potential synergies between this kind of land uses and landscape stewardship. In monetary terms, tourism can support landscape stewardship directly via entrance fees, service fees and allocation of local tourism and consumption taxes, and indirectly via consumption of locally produced goods as well as via effects on regional economy and welfare. Important non-monetary effects can be expected from branding strategies for rural landscape regions with a focus on cultural traditions, thus also sensitising visitors for landscape-related issues. Current policy frameworks for sustainable tourism still focus on preservation of ÒnaturalÓ landscapes and do not sufficiently incorporate aspects of landscape stewardship in cultural landscapes. We call for more cross-sectorial cooperation between actors from tourism, regional development and nature conservation to overcome existing resentments.
