  2. Definitions • Leisure: any freely chosen activity or experience that takes place in non-work time. • Recreation: a leisure-time activity undertaken voluntarily and for enjoyment. It includes individual pursuits, organised outings and events, and non-paid (non-professional) sports. • Sport: a physical activity involving events and competitions at the national and international scale with professional participants.

  3. Definitions • Tourism: traval away from home for at least one night for the purpose of leisure. This definition excludes day trips, some of which may be international trips. • Ecotourism: tourism focusing on the natural environment and local communities. • Heritage Tourism: tourism based on a historic legacy (landscape feature, historic building, or event) as its major attraction. • Sustainable Tourism: tourism that conserves primary tourist resources and supports the livlihoods and culture of local people.

  4. Definitions • Mass Tourism: an organised form of large-scale tourism, in which travel, accommodation, and meals are booked and paid for in advance. • Leakage: refers to the money that “escapes” from a tourist destination and makes its way to other countries via airline companies, hotel companies, Multinational Corporations, and Food Importers etc.

  5. Definitions • Carrying Capacity: refers to the maximum number of visitors or participants that a site or an event can satisfy at one time. • Environmental Carrying Capacity: the maximum number before the local environment becomes damaged. • Perceptual Carrying Capacity: the maximum number before a specific group of visitors considers the levels of impact, such as noise, to be excessive. For example, young mountain-bikers may be more crowd-tolerant than elderly walkers.
