Geotourism: Who Is a Geotourist? ©
GEOTOURISM: WHO IS A GEOTOURIST? © Angus M Robinson 1 Author Details Angus M. Robinson 1, Managing Partner of Leisure Solutions ®, P.O. Box 638, Strawberry Hills NSW 2012. Website: www.leisuresolutions.com.au Email: [email protected] Abstract Ecotourism is ecologically sustainable tourism, focusing on natural areas. Its aim is to foster environmental and cultural understanding, appreciation and conservation. Geotourism is ecotourism with an added geological theme. Geotourism has great potential as a new niche ecotourism product, but will require the same disciplines that apply to other niche, ‘high value’ tourism activities. Where ever tourism contributes a direct environmental benefit to a visited location, its clients gain empathy for the holistic heritage of the area, and this reward creates enhanced customer loyalty to the operator. The Commonwealth Government’s 1994 National Ecotourism Strategy considered that ecotourists may include a mix of independent travelers, people who travel in organised groups of a scientific, educational or recreational nature, and individuals or families who are interested in an ecotourism experience as part of a varied holiday. Whilst based on limited sources, the Strategy then considered that the ecotourist appears to be well educated, professional/semi- professional, 20-50 years of age, independent and individualistic, looking for alternatives to be traditional tourist destinations and experiences, and with significant spending power. Having regard to demographic and lifestyle considerations, it is hoped that geotourism, if positioned as a supplementary, knowledge-adding product within an attractive ecotourism experience, will attract a different demographic i.e. affluent ‘over 45 y.o.’ customers. These may come from amongst geoscience professionals from within these segmentations, as well as their partners and friends, particularly through alumni and professional societies such as the Geological Society of Australia. -

Geotourism is not bounded by a protected or pristine area, but ties sustainability to all aspects of the region where people interact with the environment. This paper suggests that geotourism will emerge as a new way to view sustainable tourism even though the tourism literature is inundated with a variety of sustainable tourism definitions and niche segments like ecotourism. -

Geoheritage, Geoparks and Geotourism Conservation and Management Series Series editors Wolfgang Eder, Munich, Germany Peter T. Bobrowsky, Burnaby, BC, Canada Jesús Martínez-Frías, Madrid, Spain Spectacular geo-morphological landscapes and regions with special geological features or mining sites, are becoming increasingly recognized as critical areas to protect and conserve for the unique geoscientific aspects they represent and as places to enjoy and learn about the science and history of our planet. More and more national and international stakeholders are engaged in projects related to “Geoheritage”, “Geo-conservation”, “Geoparks” and “Geo- tourism” and are positively influencing the general perception of modern Earth sciences. Most notably, “Geoparks”, have proven to be excellent tools to educate the public about “Earth Sciences”. And shown to be areas for recreation and significant sustainable economic development through geotourism. In order to develop further the understanding of earth sciences in general and to elucidate the importance of earth sciences for Society the Geoheritage, Geoparks and Geotourism Conservation and Management Series has been launched together with its sister GeoGuides series. “Projects” developed in partnership with UNESCO, World Heritage and Global Geoparks Networks, IUGS and IGU, as well as with the “Earth Science Matters” Foundation, are welcome. The series aims to provide a place for in-depth presentations of developmental and management issues related to Geoheritage and Geotourism as well existing and potential Geoparks. Individually authored monographs as well as edited volumes and conference proceedings are welcome in this series. This book series is considered to be complementary to the Springer-Journal “Geoheritage”. More information about this series at http://www.springer.com/series/11639 Ismar Borges de Lima • Ronda J. -
A Geotourism Analysis in Spring Green, Wisconsin
Jennifer Reece Maggie Strassman Sara Dorsey Mike Kenyon Creativity Shining Through: A Geotourism Analysis in Spring Green, Wisconsin Introduction Canoeing down the Lowe Wisconsin River, paddlers encounter a variety ofthe state's natural and cultural wonders; blue herons stepping through marshes, rolling bluffs set against the open sky, and local residents casting lines off wooden docks. Our group's research interests span the discipline of geography, linking people with environment and evaluating ways in which they use their space, much like a paddler observes his or her surroundings. Our particular interests include sustainable tourism, working to provide incentives to protect natural areas, encouraging a vested interest in conserving biodiversity, urban parks and green space, and ecotourism as a form of community development. Combining our interests, we analyzed geotourism in Spring Green, as defined by National Geographic's Center for Sustainable Destinations, a forerunner in the emerging field ofgeotourism. Our research and conclusions are valuable to the Spring Green community, whose motto is "Creativity Shining Through" because they shed light on the impact ofthe area's tourist industry. The geotourism industry is a phenomenon generally applied to international or well-known places. However, we feel this project is an interesting complement to existing research, as well as our personal research endeavors. Literature Review Geotourism was first introduced as an idea in 2002 by National Geographic Traveler Magazine and the Travel Industry Association ofAmerica. Jonathan B. Tourtellot, editor of National Geographic, and wife Sally Bensusen coined the term a few years earlier due to the need for a concept more encompassing than simply sustainable tourism or ecotourism. -

Portugal) As an Environmental Awareness Tool
Geotourism development in the Azores archipelago (Portugal) as an environmental awareness tool Eva Almeida Lima1,2, Marisa Machado2, João Carlos Nunes1,2 e-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] NOTES 1 Azores University, Geosciences Department, Azores Islands, Portugal 2 Azores Geopark Association, Azores Islands, Portugal Lima, E. A., Machado, M., & Nunes, J. C. (2013). Geotourism development in the Azores archipelago (Portugal) as an environ- mental awareness tool. Czech Journal of Tourism, 2(2), 126-142, DOI: 10.2478/cjot-2013-0007. Abstract The Azores archipelago is distinguished by its unique natural beauty and marine setting. Thanks to its volcanic ori- gin, the region has a very rich and remarkable geodiversity that includes a diversity of landscapes with innumerable craters, volcanic lakes, fumaroles, hot springs, volcanic caves, marine fossil deposits and thermal water springs. The recognition of this valuable geological heritage came with the recent integration of the Azores Geopark into the European and Global Geopark Networks. The pressure that the increasing development of tourism have been exerting on these geological sites for the last years, and the need to create alternative forms of tourism, which contribute towards the socio-economic development in rural areas, have highlighted the importance of geotourism as a tool to promote and preserve the geological heritage of the Azores. Geotourism has turned to be an important instrument of environmental aware- ness through the local and foreign people.

Devon Tourism: The Story of the County’s Economic Leviathan Stephen Essex, BA, PhD, FRGS, MHEA, MRTPI and Mark Brayshay, BA, PhD School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Plymouth Over the past 149 volumes of these Transactions, fewer than half a dozen papers have focused directly on tourism in Devon. Given its key role in shaping the county’s history, landscape and infrastructure, and its contemporary social and economic character, such a dearth of studies is striking and contrasts with the burgeoning body of scholarly work on Devon tourism aired elsewhere. The aim of this paper is to offer a broad, benchmark review of the origins, historical growth and changing character, as well as the contemporary state and future prospects, of tourism in the county. -
