This book assesses how various institutional, policy and managerial options can enhance nature tourism's contribution to the "triple bottom line". There are win-win outcomes but also trade offs between various policy objectives including: economic growth; poverty reduction; and conservation finance/biodiversity conservation. This collaborative report highlights the complementarities and the trade-offs in promoting and managing sustainable nature tourism development and conservation. Nature tourism is important for many developing countries, including South Africa. If wisely managed, nature tourism offers valuable opportunities for generating revenues for development and for conservation. The recommendations are fairly specific to the Ezemvelo KwaZulu Natal Wildlife area. By combining various options into an integrated package to achieve economic development, equity and conservation, such a balanced approach provides pro-poor tourism opportunities for local communities, by reinvesting the proceeds in on-the-ground work in the reserves and in the community. It requires collaboration with private game reserves to drop fences and could contribute to a successful transformation of wildlife management to a nature tourism economy.

本书评估了各种制度、政策和管理选择如何能够加强自然旅游对 "三重底线 "的贡献。既有双赢的结果，也有各种政策目标之间的权衡，包括：经济增长；减少贫困；以及保护资金/生物多样性保护。这份合作报告强调了在促进和管理可持续自然旅游发展和保护方面的互补性和权衡性。自然旅游对包括南非在内的许多发展中国家都很重要。如果管理得当，自然旅游可以为发展和保护提供宝贵的创收机会。这些建议对Ezemvelo KwaZulu Natal野生动物区相当具体。通过将各种选择结合成一个综合方案来实现经济发展、公平和保护，这种平衡的方法为当地社区提供了扶贫的旅游机会，通过将收益重新投入到保护区和社区的实地工作中。它需要与私人猎物保护区合作，放下围栏，并可以促进野生动物管理向自然旅游经济的成功转型。
