Abstract

[Extract] GEOTOURISM is a form of sustainable tourism based on the geodiversity of our environment and encourages learning about natural landforms. Responsible GEOTOURISM has a low impact on the environment and promotes conservation of protected areas (Geotourism Australia).

The abundance of global geo-heritage encourages visitors to learn about the natural environment.

GEOTOURISM inspires awareness about the need for protection and conservation of particularly endangered areas.

The concept of GEOTOURISM aims for an authentic, high-quality visitor experience based on the responsible use of natural geoheritage sites.
