Abstract: Natural landscape conservation in this paper concerns the issues of safeguarding the landscape in the nature. Mostly it is called environmental conservation which is seemingly a disputing matter for tourism. The concepts of ecotourism and sustainable tourism have been expected to be solutions for the argument. This paper examines environmental conservation and tourism in Bhutan, where natural heritages are successfully preserved and tourism is very distinguished. There are minimal impacts on the environment due to policies, strategies, laws and legislations, plans and practices, of environmental conservation and tourism, which are thus reviewed in this study. An archival research and a site-survey technique are employed to obtain data required. The association, the alternation and the contradictory pertaining to the issues of environmental conservation and tourism are explored. It is suggested that appropriate landscape design and planning is the key to lessen effects on the environment.
Keywords: natural landscape, environmental conservation, tourism, Bhutan.
