Tourism in Salinas

Category:	Educational Tourism
Title:	Tourism in Salinas
Listing URL:	http://www.aegean.gr/alas/tourism.htm
Description:	The saltworks are fragile, semi-artificial ecosystems. Apart from their economic role as industrial places where salt is produced, they form very interesting wetlands, where various species of plants and animals can be observed. Many tourists are interested in these species and because of their great interest in nature and ecology they are called ecotourists. Furthermore, there are many scientists who make research on these species and their habitats. Apart from their economic and ecological value, saltworks are very interesting places, for social and cultural reasons, since there are lots of myths and traditions related to their history. The natural, ecological and cultural characteristics of the salinas are the reasons for the development of various types of tourism. This kind of tourism is considered soft, since it does not destroy the environment, and also contributes to its protection. The salina’s environment (as a nature and tourist resource) should maintain its high quality to be attractive for the tourists and useful for the birds. Thus, tourism development should be controlled and, under the principles of sustainability, help to preserve the natural environment and the landscape.
