Today, national parks are important areas for tourism and recreation, as well as for the protection of both natural and cultural resources. While the effective use of national parks has a positive impact upon physical, social and cultural well-being, on the economy and the environment, also they contribute in conservation efforts to the protection of nature. Considering the advanced national park system in the world, especially for domestic tourism, and the increasing demand for the recreational use of parks by local people, to take advantage of the high quality of these areas.
