Resources in the function of tourism business: Basic questions

Abstract

This paper treats complex problems and questions related to the protection of natural and artificially formed environmental values at the levels of law and legislatures, as well as of natural resources (in the context of tourism), expressed through: 1. Observing and defining what comprises the respective (group) subject of legal protection; 2. Difficulties in the procedure of defining the minimal basic elements of natural and artificially formed environmental values that require legislative protection; 3. The complexity of creating an appropriate regime of environmental protection and 4. The levels at which it is adequate to form such protection: level of International law, level of national legislation, or regional - inter-state level and local - community level. If we want to accomplish the set tasks, it is necessary to choose a sovereign state as an example, as well as our terrain of practical research. Of course, it is also necessary to form an adequate methodological apparatus, in terms of gathering the necessary facts, sorting, inductive and subsequent deductive analyses, but also, in the light of ecological-legal methods, primarily the formal normative method, material normative method and normative hierarchical method.
