Environmental tourism carrying capacity study by using multi criteria evaluation approach in Royal Belum State Park, Perak Darul Ridzuan, Malaysia

Tourism provides opportunities for local regional development but as the brisk growth it exerts pressure on environmental and cultural resources. The environmental problems have reached over the limit of pressure where the natural ecosystem is unable to absorb the stresses of accelerating economic...
