sorts of areal, economical, social and environment implications.  It seems clear that the success of tourism in the 
realization of the role as a major moving force for the development of integrated development zone will depend 
on the type of structure, scale, quality, cost and location of tourist buildings. This means that the development of 
tourism and protection of natural and cultural heritage should be planned according to the resource base, 
economic and social needs and ecological sustainability. Tourism represents quite complex activities with socio
economic character, which has multiple important events and economic branches. The Character and 
multiplicative nature of tourism, goes in accordance to the requirements of the population for recreation and 
leisure activities and daily activities in urban centers. Tourism values constitute the relatively large number of 
motives, such as heterogeneity also for origin. Tourism should not be treated only as an economic activity, such 
a treatment only tourism as economic supply category, which will only respond to tourist demands, in itself would 
contain natural values (beautiful scenery, landscape, favorable climate, water, flora and fauna) each element that

conservation of these unique natural values. Developing effective policies for the protection of nature, increasing 
areas of protected areas, by improving the quality of management of these areas, protecting rare types of flora 
and fauna and protected forests, we finish our obligation to the next generations to give them a possibility
