ABSTRACT
As well as regulation, managing visitors can also involve education. Education frequently involves the process of interpretation. This educational process may involve the dissemination of information about a particular site, but is also likely to involve more general education about social and environmental factors. In certain situations, a combination of education and regulation is used in an attempt to manage visitors. Education and regulation in relation to visitors are discussed in greater detail in Part Three of this book. This chapter considers the overall framework in which visitor management takes place and presents a number of management issues via an investigation of selected examples.
