This manual provides guidance on calculating the carrying capacity (CARCAP) for ecotourism sites within protected areas (PAs). It employs two straightforward and easy-to-use models: Boullon’s CARCAP mathematical model (1985) and the Limits of Acceptable Change (LAC). It's important to note that there are various methods to determine CARCAP for different purposes—whether social, physical, ecological, etc.—and these methods can be applied simultaneously, separately, or successively, based on the specific needs of a site.
This publication aims to assist in planning and developing ecotourism projects, particularly in creating ecotourism management plans. It will be a valuable resource in designing visitor management schemes, helping to determine the appropriate number of visitors or tourists allowed to engage in specific activities at a site.
