degree of protection. This of course depends on the rationale for a trail's
design and the enabling legislation or political action that brought it to frui-
tion in the first place. This chapter provided an overview of several manage-
ment techniques and approaches that are available to route and trail managers
and that focus on supply and demand perspectives. Which approach or com-
bination of approaches is adopted will be dependent on site, situation and the
nature of the problem arising and the model's suitability to address the rising
concerns. Selecting approaches from this 'tool kit' is favored more by manag-
ers than applying visitor frameworks and procedures that have largely
remained the domain of the academy with limited application to real world
situations. The use of stakeholder theory with links to partnership, collabo-
ration and cooperation has more potential management mechanisms because
it allows more widespread engagement over issues and concerns of different
populations, levels and types of uses in the context of linear recreation and
tourism spaces. Combined, the techniques, approaches and frameworks
presented here provide managers with the necessary tool kit to be more
effective. The degree to which they make use of these tools will vary over
time and by venue.
