Self-Assessment

To check that the resources and techniques available have been understood with regard to nature tourism, several questions/exercises are posed with which to put into practice the knowledge acquired:

  1. Explain: what is the Natura 2000 Network.
  2. Mention at least 2 resources for interpretation of the natural environment of each type: natural resources, resources of active tourism and adventure sports, resources of landscape and environmental interpretation and figures of protection.
  3. Indicate 5 key points of “the great interpretation cheat-sheet”.
  4. Imagine that you have to plan an activity in a National Park. Find out the existing information centres (interpretation centres, visitors’ centres, etc.), the characteristic flora and fauna, the figures of protection and all those issues that may be of interest to have a good knowledge of the zone.
  5. Briefly consider what must characterize appropriate behaviour in natural surroundings.
