Abstract: Since the late-1980s, ecotourism has been attracting many tourists as awareness about the environment has increased. Much debate has occurred about whether ecotourism can be a new tool for environmental protection or just another type of community development. Although many publications examine the potential benefits of ecotourism, little attention has been given to the management of ecotourism. This paper discusses the importance of ecotourism management from the theoretical perspective by examining recent ecotourism publications and debates. From this survey, it becomes clear that the management of ecotourism could be developed into regional ecosystem management by following three steps. First, it is important for persons in the scientific and lay communities to share their different types of knowledge about the ecosystem. Second, ways should be created for ecotourists from outside the region to collaborate with local managers at the planning and monitoring stage of ecosystem management. Finally, ecotourism should be managed in a way that can encourage the creation of regional ecosystem management strategies by utilizing the shared knowledge. If these steps are followed, local communities can play a role in creating their own regional ecosystem management, and the "design process" will contribute to sustainable use of the ecosystem.
