creator: Kochan, V.C.
description: Different interests, promoted through different stakeholders and the need to reach their own goal, e.g. economic development or sustainability, provide challenges when it comes to planning in a collaborative way. Curacao as a developing tourist destination with an outstanding ecological value is in need for a planning approach and management method to a) promote especially dive tourism as an economic incentive in the tourism industry and b) protect and conserve the nature which makes Curacao special as a tourist destination. Therefore, this research focusses on identifying those actions, which support a more sustainable development for Curacao, which are based among others on measures like raising awareness, education and enforcement. A crucial element is the development of the management for the Curacao Marine Park, which supports the current relevance to find a feasible strategy through an adequate set of actions to combine the major interests of nature conservation and tourism.
