Background
The first MMV conference was held in Vienna, Austria, in winter 2002, the second in Rovaniemi, Finland, in spring 2004, the third one in Rapperswil, Switzerland, in autumn 2006 and the fourth one in Montecatini Terme in Italy. MMV conferences are motivated by the growing concern that increasing recreational use of protected areas is approaching the limits of ecological and social carrying capacities in many parts of the world. Four preceding conferences had great success, making MMV a regular meeting for scientists and managers. MMV5 will be organized in an urbanized country, the Netherlands.
