Genoa - Vernazza

We travel from Genoa down the Ligurian coast to the Cinque Terre and the medieval town of Vernazza.  Mr. Gianluca Pasini  welcomes us with an evening presentation at Riomaggiore Castle describing the management philosophy and work of the Cinque Terre National Park. Are there differences in resource management philosophies between CTNP and US national parks?
