In terms of wilderness areas the best is to set up a detination management network which consists of a local operator, the PA agency and local municipalities. I think themost crucial element is to include entities which have long-term interest in promoting the areas as a tourism destination. The long-term interest is crucial to guarantee sustainability.

The wider the representation of diverse local interest groups the better it is.
