Abstract

Appropriate tourism policy needs to be developed relative to a wide range of public goods and externality issues at various levels. Environmental and conservation issues and values contribute substantially to tourism experiences where rent, income and the optimum scale of operation and development need to be appraised. On the other hand, a range of environmental externalities in the form of pollution, congestion and general degradation require appraisal and remedial policy. Effective tourism policy will need to be developed to balance a range of objectives which may appear to be pulling in different directions.
