Geotourism
“Preserve the planet & the places
       we love the most”
Geotourism is defined as tourism that
sustains or enhances the geographical
character of a place—its environment,
culture, aesthetics, heritage, and the well-
being of its residents.
Geotourism incorporates the concept of sustainable
tourism—that destinations should remain unspoiled
for future generations—while allowing for ways to
protect a place's character.

Geotourism also takes a principle from its ecotourism
cousin,—that tourism revenue should promote
conservation—and extends it to culture and history
as well, that is, all distinctive assets of a place
Geotourism


70% of the world will be living in cities in the next 20
years

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. What is Social Media?The best way to define social media is to break it down. Media is an instrument on communication, like a newspaper or a radio, so social media would be a social instrument of communication.The best part? It’s FREE!In Web 2.0 terms, this would be a website that doesn't just give you information, but interacts with you while giving you that information. This interaction can be as simple as asking for your comments or letting you vote on an article, or it can be as complex as Flixster recommending movies to you based on the ratings of other people with similar interests.Think of regular media as a one-way street where you can read a newspaper or listen to a report on television, but you have very limited ability to give your thoughts on the matter.Social media, on the other hand, is a two-way street that gives you the ability to communicate too.
  2. Get staff to send pics to whoever posts to FacebookEngage w/ visitors and allow them to engage with one another
  3. Every tweet is an opportunity for an @ mention, a link and a hashtag
  4. Have to request an invite or get friends to invite you

  7. 3 Main Impact AreasNegative impacts from tourism occur when the level of visitor use is greater than the environment's ability to cope with this use within the acceptable limits of change. Uncontrolled conventional tourism poses potential threats to many natural areas around the world. Depletion of Natural ResourcesTourism development can put pressure on natural resources when it increases consumption in areas where resources are already scarce.Water resourcesLocal resourcesLand degradation PollutionTourism can cause the same forms of pollution as any other industry: air emissions, noise, solid waste and littering, releases of sewage, oil and chemicals, even architectural/visual pollution.Air pollution and noiseSolid waste and litteringSewage Physical ImpactsThe threats to and pressures on these ecosystems are often severe because such places are very attractive to both tourists and developers. Physical impacts of tourism development Construction activities and infrastructure developmentDeforestation and intensified or unsustainable use of landMarina developmentPhysical impacts from tourist activitiesTrampling Tourists using the same trail over and over again trample the vegetation and soil, eventually causing damage that can lead to loss of biodiversity and other impacts. Such damage can be even more extensive when visitors frequently stray off established trails.Anchoring and other marine activities in marine areas (around coastal waters, reefs, beach and shoreline, offshore waters, uplands and lagoons) many tourist activities occur in or around fragile ecosystems. Anchoring, snorkeling, sport fishing and scuba diving, yachting, and cruising are some of the activities that can cause direct degradation of marine ecosystems such as coral reefs, and subsequent impacts on coastal protection and fisheries.There are 109 countries with coral reefs. In 90 of them reefs are being damaged by cruise ship anchors and sewage, by tourists breaking off chunks of coral, and by commercial harvesting for sale to tourists.
