Tourist traffic in English National Parks - an innovative approach to management
Article Abstract:
An innovative approach is needed for management of tourist traffic in English National Parks. A rapid increase in ownership and use of cars has brought with it more pollution and congestion, a higher accident rate and more health risks. For the North York Moors National Park an innovative visitor traffic management scheme was designed and a case study carried out. Perceived lack of flexibility of routes of public transport was the most striking finding in responses. Visitors realize they have an impact and in theory are willing to be managed. Conveying information adequately is important.

Preferred pedestrian flow: a tool for designing optimum interpretive conditions and visitor pressure management
Article Abstract:
A model of visitor pressure management can be created based on the concept of personal distance. Personal distance, or the space individuals prefer to maintain between themselves and others, can help tourism managers control pedestrian traffic in visiting historic sites such as museums and monuments. It can prevent conflict and other negative behaviors associated with crowding.
