Abstract

The creation of a protected area involves multiple positive impacts. In fact, it is well recognized the considerable boost that the establishment of a National Park has into depressed area. In this work, we analyzed the socio-economics impacts of Atlantic Islands National Park in its area of influence, noting a positive correlation between its creation and some important economic indicators. However, it is noteworthy that the effects are not only those that can be observed in local markets but many others, linked mostly to biodiversity and cultural heritage conservation. To go into these aspects in depth, we analyze the results provided by a survey carried out in summer 2009, where we collected the perceptions of two types of stakeholders, residents and tourists.
