![]() ![]() Sporting practices have begun to transcend urban areas, represented mainly by fitness centres, sports halls, stadiums or even sports parks, and to be closer to nature, in harmony with environmental requirements and respect for nature. Moreover, according to various research in the field, as well as tourism activities (Gard Mc Gehee et al., 2010), sport may contribute to the construction of cultural and social capital (Bourdieu, 1990 Putnam, 2000 Skinner et al., 2008) in the last century sports such as golf or sailing were an attribute for people in middle and upper social classes (Bourdieu, 1990). The increased level of living standards and income have directed daily activities also towards the improvement of physical performance through sports and recreational activities. On the other hand, sports with all its ways of manifestation, has spread worldwide in economic, social and cultural terms (Jarvie, 2006). Due to the rapid development of the tourism activity, a new form has emerged quite recently: social tourism – settled mainly for people with low socio-economic status (Minnaert and Miller, 2009). The evolution of the contemporary society had an impact also on the way tourism is approached. Tourism choices, in terms of destinations and type of accommodation, point out the differences between social classes (Seaton, 1992 Urry, 1995 Holden, 2006). Economically advanced societies put a great emphasis on tourism activity, as an important feature of the social life and as a part of the consumer culture (Watson and Kopachevsky, 1996 Holden, 2006). Inicio de páginaġ As a sustainable economic activity with implications for the preservation, promotion and valorisation of biodiversity, tourism has been relatively recently imposed worldwide due to the transition of the European society from an economic structure focused on primary activities to one based on tertiary sector activities (Herman et al., 2017, Ilieș et al., 2017 Masteikiene and Venckuviene, 2015 Pekarskiene and Susniene, 2014 Simonceska, 2012). Pour favoriser la conservation du cadre naturel, il est important de maintenir une étroite collaboration avec les associations touristiques et sportives qui organisent des activités dans ces zones. Ces pratiques entreprises dans le réseau écologique Natura 2000 sites sont adaptés à la spécificité de chaque secteur protégé, en relation avec les conditions environnementales. ![]() Au niveau de l'Union européenne, les espaces protégés Natura 2000 ont mis en œuvre des programmes permettant de répondre à l’accueil des activités sportives et de loisirs dans ces zones, tant pour passer du temps libre que comme antidote au stress. Un nouveau défi émerge dans le contexte actuel où il s'agit de concilier le besoin de conserver et de protéger la géodiversité et la biodiversité avec la valorisation économique de ces espaces naturels investis par les pratiques touristiques et récréatives. La réflexion est centrée sur l’importance de la nature et des enjeux du développement de tourisme dans les aires protégées. ![]()
