Regard to the aims of the case study as well as the research problem, two main data collecting strategies namely survey questionnaire and documentary analysis methods were employed for the empirical data collection.
These two strategies allow us to gather all possible information in different aspects, which might not be reached by only one method. The survey questionnaire helps to collect information from local people, tours operators and NGOs about the tourism activities that cause the impacts on Namha national protected area. The documentary analysis method is used to gather broad information from the valuable existing documents that could not be assessed by survey questionnaire.
