Summary
Hollókő's UNESCO-listed Old Village faces sustainability challenges that necessitate alternative tourism development approaches. The study identifies botanical values as potential keys to shifting towards more sustainable, low-impact tourism models while preserving the site's unique cultural heritage and landscape harmony. By focusing on the region's botanical assets, researchers propose a strategy that could balance conservation efforts with economic growth, offering a viable path for maintaining Hollókő's living village character and traditional architecture without compromising its ecological integrity.
