Entrance and Activity Fees (Tourism)

Definition: Entrance and activity fees are fees charged to tourists for access to a protected area or natural site of interest, for use of its facilities, and for specific site-based recreational activities. Revenues from these fees can contribute to biodiversity conservation through retention by specific sites or protected area systems, revenue sharing agreements with communities, and earmarked transfers from the central government or agencies.
