A key component in managing an ecotourism site. It involves managing the type of visitors that can be admitted into an ecotourism site, volume of visitors, density and spread of visitors within the site, frequency of visits, seasonality, and the behavior of tourists. These factors have implications on the kind of facilities to be put on the site, communication and interpretation strategies, signage, staffing, the degree of tourism impact, the quality of tourism experience, and economic viability.

Visitor Management

Visitor Management Frameworks includes:

- Carrying Capacity (CC) - Limits of Acceptable Change - Visitor Impact Management (VIM) Framework - Visitor Activity Management Process - Recreation Opportunity Spectrum

Defined as “an administrative action oriented toward maintaining the quality of park resources and visitor experiences”. It can also be described as the techniques and procedures adopted by the management staff of an ecotourism site to minimize negative impacts of visitation, protect visitors from natural and man-made dangers, and minimize visitor leisure satisfaction and education in the site.

Visitor Management

Basically, it assumes that an area can accommodate a certain maximum number of people without degrading the place.

Carrying Capacity (CC)

of a place is not a fixed number; it is determined by the host of environment, social & economic factor.

Carrying Capacity (CC)

area used by tourists in square meters / 2 square meters

Boullon’s mathematical model: CC

Process requires making decisions on what kind of conditions in an ecotourism site are acceptable and coming up with actions to achieve those conditions.

Limits of Acceptable Change

Involves identifying the negative visitor impacts on an ecotourism site and devising programs to minimize the impacts.

Visitor Impact Management (VIM) Framework

The advantages of VIM include:

✓ Simplicity ✓ Flexibility ✓ Cost effectiveness ✓ Timeliness ✓ Inclusion of input from stakeholders and local residents

Aims to determine the kinds of activities that are suitable in a park and strategies in making the public understand, appreciate and enjoy the park’s natural and cultural heritage.

Visitor Activity Management Process / VAMP

- is an integral part of the country’s Park Management Planning Process. - is problem-and-issue rather than data driven. - primary purpose is for management to arrive at a good decisions by providing data that can include experiential and informal knowledge. - is concerned with the socioeconomic advantages and disadvantages.

VAMP

The VAMP model consists of six steps:

• Objective(s) • Terms of reference • Database analysis • Concept/options • Recommendations • Approval and implementation

A framework for identifying the various opportunities for recreation.

Recreation Opportunity Spectrum

refer to the extent which an opportunity can be technologically reproduced and the ability of management to reverse the outcome of decisions Modern (developed) recreational products are generally easier to reproduce through capital fusion and technology than the primitive variety.

Reproducibility and reversibility

ranges from zero human contact to excessive human interaction.

Social interaction - ROS

considers both the magnitude and importance of such impacts.

Acceptability of Impacts - ROS

refers to the techniques used to control visitors’ activities ranging from zero to excessive rules and regulations.

Acceptability of Impacts regimentation - ROS

Assigning certain activities to selected areas, restricting activities from areas, and separating conflicting uses of an area.
