Abstract
Although mountains appear strong and sturdy, they are actually very delicate and easily damaged ecosystems. The unique natural features of mountains cannot be found anywhere else on Earth. Mountains offer a wide range of recreational activities, but developing sustainable tourism practices requires careful planning and consideration of factors such as route planning, camping, fire safety, water conservation, protecting wildlife, and waste management, as well as understanding the social and cultural aspects of mountain recreation.
