Resumo(s)
The Laurisilva of Madeira is an important natural resource as well as a location for
nature-based tourism and recreational activities. Despite UNESCO’s concerns and
recommendations for assessing tourism capacity, the local population is perceived as overusing
this resource; yet precisely how many tourists visit its most popular areas remains unknown.
Tourism carrying capacity (TCC) was assessed on two Rabaçal trails using a specific
formulation relating physical aspects to environmental correction factors. Tourism carrying
capacity was found to be below theoretical limits, and trail access was not restricted despite
being a major concern in natural resource management.
