Brankov, Jovana, et all. “Geography And Environment – Analysis Of Indicators Of Sustainable Development Of Tourism.” (IJCRSEE)International Journal of Cognitive Research in Science, Engineering, and Education. Vol. 5. No. 1. 2017.  pp.131-140

In their research, Dr. Jovana Brankov, and her fellow researchers, “analyze the relationship tourism – nature protection in the National Park Tara, through the interpretation of the indicators of sustainable tourism development” (Brankov 132). The researchers study this national park to discover the impact of tourism on the environment in protected areas specifically national parks. Brankov utilized a “total of 6 indicators related to the environmental value of the area: level of protected area, recognitions of international programs, protected, endemic and endangered species, damage to forest ecosystems, as well as a direct impact of tourism activity on the protection of nature” (Brankov 133). The study concludes that “Global analysis of the indicators confirmed that the NP Tara has strong environmental attributes and that tourism in the studied area did not make any significant damage to the environment” (Brankov 139). The study also concluded that the biggest environmental issue with tourism in national parks is the lack of proper waste management.
