Abstract
This research aims at identifying the key success factors in ecotourism development in two case studies, Shark Bay and the Drentsche Aa. After identifying the success factors, taking in account theories about successful ecotourism development and SESs reflections are made upon the possibilities to improve the current processes within the ecotourism destination and the possibilities to transfer the success factors to the other case study and vice versa. As such this research aims at creating possibilities to learn from different practices around the globe. By taking a systemic approach from a SES perspective this research looks at ecotourism from a territorial perspective instead of the more mainstream economic side of ecotourism development. Through this broader approach the multi layered, multi scalar facet of ecotourism is uncovered in order to gain a wider understanding into current practices.
