Because of attractiveness and the opportunities offered by the protected areas, conflicts appear between the competing interests of tourism, conservation and local communities. Management should be the intermediator between these interests but can also, if inadequate, be a problem issue. The issue of sustainability and management of protected area explored the case of Plitvice Lakes National Park where there is extremely sensitive environment, intense tourism development and a need for economic generation of a depressed rural region.
