Going Beyond Green:Why Geotourism?
Geotourism is:• Holistic - because sustainability is about more than just the
environment: it incorporates culture and heritage• Place-based - this grassroots strategy works from the
bottom up, requiring the participation of the people who know the place best - its residents
• Marketable - Geotourism can create financial incentives for good destination stewardship, which in turn generates more interest - and spending - by tourists
• Competitive - Geotourism emphasizes, enhances and encourages development of the most unique aspects of a destination, making it a more desirable place

And most of all…
Geotourism engages tourists, who have a more authentic
experience…
and residents,
who gain a deeper appreciation for what makes their place
unique
