N2 - This Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) describes the impacts of a proposed 54 km MTB-network on the northwest-coast of Aruba, the cumulative impacts of other visitor-groups as well as setting out some fifteen measures to mitigate the impacts concerned. The proposed MTB-network is, in theory, an improvement for the ecological environment if compared to the present MTB-network, though additional measures are needed before speaking about a ‘sustainable’ MTB-network. Sustainable development can only be achieved with a nature and visitor management plan (including MTB) for the project area as a whole, that matches the ambitions set out in Aruba’s Spatial Development Plan 2019.
