The Necessary Balance hetween Preservation and Exploitation of Landscape: The Principality of Andorra

Abstract

The Principality of Andorra possesses a rich landscape heritage and it is through the profitable use of these resources wherein lies its most important economical source (tourism –ski-ing other types of holiday- comerce). However, a latent characteristic of this landscape is its fragility, and it is therefore necessary to control and limit its usage, with the support of political legislation which respects the environment.
