Perception of environmental impacts of tourism in ACAP
A new publication by Drs. Gyan Neupane and Brijesh Thapa in The International Journal of Sustainable Development and World Ecology examines the perception of environmental impacts of tourism between residents and managers within Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP), Nepal.
Data were collected on-site among local residents and managers. Environmental impacts of tourism were operationalized using 13 items on a five-point Likert scale (strongly agree to strongly disagree).
Overall, on comparison of descriptive and statistical analyses, local residents were consistently more likely than managers to perceive fewer negative and greater positive impacts of tourism on the environment.
