ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book shows that the extension of knowledge about the state, functioning, causes and mechanisms of the development of nature based tourism in metropolitan areas named Metropolitan Commuter Belt Tourism. In fact, the problems of metropolitan commuter belt tourism were considered in combination with rural tourism, agritourism, ecotourism, forest and culinary tourism. Metropolises offer people greater opportunities of development than rural areas. It is easier to find employment and, metropolises better satisfy people’s administrative, cultural, educational and medical needs. Metropolises constantly attract people and this creates the need to settle migrants either in the metropolis itself or in nearby areas. The cooperation of the stakeholders of rural tourism and agritourism in a particular metropolitan area to promote these types of tourism may cause a synergy of outlays, resulting from diversified actions as long as they are coordinated in a normative modelling process.
