Item Open Access Tourists’ perceptions on whether South African national parks are environmentally friendly(University of the Free State, 2013) Du Plessis, Liezel; Van der Merwe, Peet; Saayman, MelvilleEnglish: The increasing number of tourists to South African national parks raises concern about the effect these tourists have on the environment. This article aims to investigate how SANParks manage environmentally friendly South African national parks in order to reduce the impact of tourism on the environment. To examine these concerns, a survey was conducted to measure tourists’ perceptions of the environmental impacts of tourism in these parks. A web-based survey was carried out via the official SANParks website to collect data. The findings of this study will help SANParks to manage the environmental impacts of tourism in the national parks more effectively.
