The monitoring program must definitely include surveillance about the state of
main components of the natural complex that being visited by tourists, and which is
affected by excessively tourist flows, namely:
A) soils (compaction of soils, development of erosion processes, loss of fertility,
weathering, etc.);
B) water resources (drinking water pollution, algal bloom, decreasing of species
diversity);
C) ambient air (monitoring of pollution from mobile and stationary sources);
D) greenery (decreasing of flora species diversity, mechanical damage of trees
and shrubs);
E) wildlife (decreasing of fauna species diversity and reduction of population
size), etc.
Based on monitoring results and general environmental assessments at the end
of each tourist season the administration of the region and the management of tourist
facilities must make appropriate management decisions that include:
- regulation, stabilization or increasing the allowable tourists load, its
distribution by seasons, months per year;
- correction the terms of tourist season;

liquidation of the negative consequences of tourism activity, improvement the sanitary
state of the territory, restoration of natural resources;
- amendment in the program of excursions activity of tourists (in case of its
significant impact on the NPC).
Ecologization of the main types of tourism lies in:
- rational use of natural, historical, cultural and tourist resources;
- determining the allowable tourist loads, the number of tourists within separate
tourist zones;
