ISSN 1401-9191 Sustainable Tourism Management in Protected Areas – Stenshuvud National Park Sweden – Case Study Acknowledgements I only know that this year has been one of the bests in my life. First, thanks God, for giving me the force, faith and energy to continue believing that everything is possible. Many thanks to IIIEE teachers and staff, for this wonderful learning experience and to Batch 11 for all the nice moments, nice parties and for the great opportunity for sharing our cultures. I am very grateful with Sparbanken Syd, for giving me the financial support for developing my thesis research. Thank you to Mikael Backman and Håkan Rodhe, my supervisors, for their support, encourage and guidance during this period.
