www.ltandc.org LT&C is registered in Norway (Reg.No 813 329 972) as a Non-profit Organisation called: “Linking Tourism & Conservation Society” Norway: Peter Prokosch Kystveien 2, N-4841 Arendal +47 90254755 [email protected] Ottar Nakken Strandveien 13, 4 etg., N-1326 Lysaker +47 92891780 [email protected] Germany: Peter Zimmer +49 171 4417863 [email protected] Anja Szczesinski +49 151 18854837 [email protected] USA: Denise Landau +1 970 704 9178 (MST) [email protected] Linking Tourism and Conservation (LT&C) seeks to identify and share tools and incentives that encourage the replication of best practices in sustainable tourism: those that support the establishment or management of national parks and other types of protected areas. By identifying and highlighting examples, LT&C celebrates success stories and facilitates the sharing of effective techniques. This resource is intended to serve and engage individuals, businesses and governments in their respective efforts to ensure the long-term sustainability of protected areas. LT&C supports the United Nations’ goal of a complete protected area network (CBD Aichi target 11). Marine and terrestrial protected areas are essential for healthy ecosystems and sustainable tourism. Likewise, tourism benefits from protected natural areas around the world, and can play a vital role in securing the future of these areas. It is estimated that US$ 30 billion is required annually for effective management of a globally complete protected area network. LT&C is based on the compelling idea that allocating less than one percent of the annual global tourism turnover to this effort would fully fund this goal. There are many examples of tourism contributing to the establishment and development of protected areas – financially, politically and educationally. LT&C is dedicated to profiling these examples in order to make the successful methods available for replication, adaptation and implementation around the world. Sharing experiences and expertise inspires synergy and partnerships that will lead to additional examples of Linking Tourism & Conservation. By inspiring such cooperation, LT&C will bring previously untapped potential to the joint effort to ensure the future of the global network of protected natural areas. LINKING TOURISM & CONSERVATION LT&C envisions a world in which tourism and nature benefit from a sustainable global network of protected areas.
