Visitor Control at Kennemerduinen
Roderkerk E. 1976. Visitor Control at Kennemerduinen. Parks. 1(3):10-12
Two and a half million people live within 30-odd kilometers of this national park and many of them seek the sea for recreation. In good weather the park may welcome as many as eighteen to twenty thousand people daily, or some three quarters of a million visitors a year. We have found it is possible to offer these people all the room and possibilities for leisure they want and also to protect the vulnerable park landscape with its flora and fauna from destruction. However, in spite of the heavy visitor load, the park and its living resources have remained practically undamaged. How did we solve this classic problem? Our solution lay in modification of the landscape in limited areas close to the park entrances to adapt them to the requirements of those visitors who come mainly for leisure activities.
