This report is based on the findings of research in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, East Java, Indonesia. The study was carried out over a five-month period, from November 1996 to March 1997. The principal aims were:
- to provide detailed information on tourism in a protected area in a developing country in order to assess the effectiveness of tourism as a means of supporting the conservation of protected areas
- to evaluate the contribution made to community development of tourism to a protected area
- to provide information based on factual data on whether community-based ecotourism is a constructive strategy for non-governmental organisations to use in establishing income-generating projects.
