The island of Soqotra, belonging to the Republic of Yemen, is a part of the UNESCO world natural heritage site since the summer of 2008. Its development prospects are characterized by the conflict between tourism and nature protection. The island’s tourist marketing is designed for eco-tourism. Nevertheless employees in the tourist sector are inadequately trained and usually lack awareness of the fragile eco system. The current development does not reveal any planning concept. The book it is meant as a warning of foolishly jeopardizing the world’s last paradises. It reveals under which circumstances the way could be paved for achieving a sustainable development for the island.

German description: Die zum Jemen gehorende Insel Soqotra steht seit Sommer 2008 auf der Liste des UNESCO-Weltnaturerbes. Ihre Entwicklungsperspektiven sind vom Spagat zwischen Tourismus und Naturschutz gepragt. Das touristische Marketing fur die Insel ist auf Okotourismus ausgelegt, die im Tourismus beschaftigten Akteure sind jedoch unzureichend geschult und haben oftmals kein Bewusstsein fur die fragile Umwelt. Ein schlussiges Planungskonzept fur Soqotra ist kaum erkennbar. Das Buch warnt vor der leichtfertigen Zerstorung der letzten Paradiese unserer Erde. Es zeigt, unter welchen Umstanden ein Einlenken in Richtung einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung der Insel dennoch moglich ware.
