Abstract [en]

Today people are more and more concerned about the environment and the future of our world. There are more and more trends arising about the care of nature, even in the tourism sector. This is what the thesis is about, tourism that take environment into consideration at the same time as it help natives to rise their life quality. The thesis is about sustainable tourism or ecotourism in developing countries as it is an important factor for development in the Third World, if it is done i the right way. This project aims to describe and explain organisation and management of sustainable countries. The thesis har Cape Verde islands as a case study, but also highlights different developing countries and their success or failure in ecotourism. The study is done in a deductive way. Some results that arose during the study are to take the environment into concideration all the time when plans are made. It is essential to make sure that all parties involved want the same thing with tourism, and that these parties cooperate. Another thing that came up was the importance of involving local people and make them integrated in the process. From the examples of less successful destinations it were highlighted that country should beware of crossing the limit of carrying capacity, leakage of money and masstourism. It is impossible to cover all factors influencing a developing country in its attempt to start an ecotourism destination. But, the project can be a help to pick out some of the problems that can be avoided when organising sustainable tourism.
