The benefits of ecotourism being at the center of the wider system of tourism should be put forward in the development planning and management. GIS appears to be a significant tool for planning, assessment and monitoring of natural resources. Limiting ecotourism, (which has within it the potential to become mass tourism on a small scale), to such areas where the region's characteristics are most suited for ecotourism, will to an extent reduce impacts compared to areas which are more fragile in nature (Boyd et al, 1995).
