Sažetak
Sustainable use of space is often influenced by human activities causing negative effects on biodiversity. Human impact on land and its natural reserves is very obvious in the case of forests. The neo-Malthusian forces explain these relations of population and management of biodiversity. International tourism as an income generating human activity affects biodiversity and forests too. Therefore this paper analyses the international tourism arrivals as a factor influencing deforestation in the world-wide global framework. The Mankiw, Romer and Weil (1992) growth model is applied to estimate the rate of deforestation using the rate of change of tourism arrivals, economic growth rate, and population growth rate. Descriptive and inferential analysis was used to explain a various cross-national data that are used in this paper.
