The SWOT method was used to extract possible strategies considering internal and external factors, and the Evidential Reasoning (ER) Approach was employed to prioritize and select superior strategies considering lack of access to adequate information. Finally, two strategies assigning management and exploitation of recognized ecotourism locations to the private sector and planning to create combined ecotourism tours with other prioritized areas of tourism in the province were chosen as priority strategies for developing ecotourism in the province.
