| dc.description.abstract | This thesis examined tourism impacts in the r mote areas of Haast and Collingwood, taking into account the visitors, local community, tourist operators, and the various institutions view points on those impacts. Those destinations are becoming increasingly popular with visitors because of their isolation2 the natural beauty of such non-mainstream areas, lower traffic volumes on the highway and the presence of tourist services and facilities, which and have been subject to recent tourism development. The study will provide an element by element comparison of both areas' tourism impacts, and it took the view that impacts on remote destinations differ from primary (Auckland- Rotorua- Queenstown) and secondary ( Kaikoura- Hanmer Springs) destinations. This is because due to the communities' small size, the ratio of visitors to locals would be higher, placing greater social impacts on both parties, while the lack of tourist infrastructure and resources compared to larger destinations has influenced the economic, environmental and social impacts of tourism by restricting the communities responses to it. | en |
