Sustainable tourism and managing visitors
We want National Parks to be for everyone in Scotland. As we have emerged from lockdowns during the pandemic National Parks have seen significant increases in people wishing to access the outdoors or reconnect with nature.
However, this has led to challenges in managing lots of visitor in some areas. This includes increased transport congestion and emissions, a lessening of the experience for everyone and in some cases damage to the local environment in places that are important for nature.
We think National Parks should aim to reduce emissions from traffic and and reverse the damage to the local environment. This could be done by promoting more sustainable access to the countryside and tourism.
Why the contribution is important
We want to make sure everyone can continue to enjoy National Parks without having a negative impact on the visitor experience and nature. We want to hear people's ideas about how this could be done.
