520			_a"Coastal and marine space is "home" to a constantly growing number of human activities and facilities, the most important of which are those related to coastal and marine tourism. Coastal tourism refers to land-based tourism activities including swimming, surfing, sun bathing and other coastal recreation activities taking place on the coast for which the proximity to the sea is a condition including also their respective services. Maritime tourism refers to sea-based activities such as boating, yachting, cruising, nautical sports as well as their land-based services Coastal tourism is based on a unique resource combination at the interface of land and sea offering amenities such as water beaches, scenic beauty, rich terrestrial and marine biodiversity, diversified cultural and historic heritage, healthy food and good infrastructure. It includes a diversity of activities that take place in both coastal zone and coastal waters, which involve the development of tourism capacities (hotels, resorts, second homes, restaurants, etc.) and support Infrastructure (ports, marinas, fishing and diving shops, and other facilities). Tourism in marine and coastal areas is a complex phenomenon. Tourism in coastal areas brings along both positive and negative effects on the environment as a result of activities exerted upon such areas by proponents and tourists. While tourism development results in the modification of coastal environments, it can also flourish where such environments are left unmodified as the pristine nature of the environments attract visitors. This book can also serve as a reference monograph for advanced undergraduate and graduate students." -- Provided by publisher.
