NATURAL AND SCENIC PATRIMONY
“There are laws that protect scenery and citizen rights. Civil society must use the law and participate in
decisions which cause irreversible environmental and social impacts. The new generation is passing through
a change of values discussing the environment and sustainable development and so is the behaviour and expectation of todays tourist, values nautural beauty
and cultural wealth of the world. If we don´t value our natural, históric and cultural heritage, what will we
leave to our grandchildren and great-grandchildren. It is up to us to defend against the greedy speculators”.

the red card
Nobody more qualified then Jost Krippendorf, who died in 2003, to present the Red Card for Tourism at the WSF 2002 in Porto Alegre. “Just like the rainforest is worth more, standing up; Coasts and rivers need to be valued and
protected .........not destroyed.“

JOST KIPPENDORF*“The main objective for tourism police has to be to
allow leisure and spiritual activities for a great number of people in a preserved natural environment with touristical equipment for the visitors, but, always
considering the interest of the people of the region”. He recomends to tourism planners: “The future of
tourism depends much more on the conservation of the scenery, then maximizing of tourism
development.” Making it clear that conservation of the environment needs to have priority over
considerations of a technical or economical nature.*1938 - 2003
