An innovative management system in protected areas for the purpose of sustainable tourism

The Project called Central Europe Eco-Tourism: tools for nature protection (CEETO) aims at implementing an innovative system for tourism based on a participatory planning approach, to improve and implement sustainable use of natural resources, especially monitoring tools focused on sustainable tourism activities in different contexts. The main goal of this paper is to present a project which aims to protect and enhance the natural heritage of Protected Area (PA) and Natura 2000 Network by promoting an innovative sustainable tourism planning model. The project involves four phases: the diagnosis phase, the testing phase, the third phase is Creating CEETO guidelines and the final phase, the CEETO Network. Through the testing phase the plan is to improve monitoring program on the Sljeme ski slope area at the Medvednica Nature Park. That will include determination of the state of environmental indicators (hydrological, climatological, soil and edaphic) by analysis of snow, water, air and soil as well as determination of the state of nature indicators (stream and wells fauna, meadow and lichens biodiversity and invertebrates). The CEETO project will help to improve the managing capacities of managers of protected areas as well as to raise awareness of the value managing tourism sustainably, of protecting Europe's natural heritage whilst bringing social and economic benefits. It will provide a Network that will become the instrument of future networking among PAs across Europe in order to develop common initiatives and projects.
