Preliminary environmental evaluation of the Mangrove Lagoon/Patanemo beach system (Venezuela)

Abstract

The recent advent of large scale, self‐contained, resort type tourism centers about the world is a function not only of the focussing effect of mass air travel by jet airplane, package tour marketing mechanisms and the increase in affluence and leisure time in urban areas, but also is predicated upon a new kind of comprehensive ‘city planning’ and a new approach to resort community development, embracing, inter‐alia a holistic, total systems and ‘environmental design’ concept.
