Here is an engaging overview of the development of, definition of,
and approach to modern geotourism, a growing movement to help
sustain and showcase the distinctive geographical characteristics
of many places around the world. This volume provides a clear
conceptual framework with illustrative examples from all corners of
the world to better understand abiotic nature-based tourism. The
volume looks at the establishment and effective management of the
over 140 UNESCO geoparks around the world and other travel and
tourism destinations of interest for their significant historical,
cultural, and frequently stunning physical attributes. With studies
from a selection of geotourist areas, the volume explores urban
geotourism, mining heritage, geomorphological landforms,
geoheritage (based on cultural and historical interest), roadside
geology of the U. S., community engagement and volunteer management
programs, and much more. There is even a chapter on space and
celestial geotourism.
