Geotourism is a sustainable form of tourism based on the geodiversity of our environment and encourages learning about natural and cultural heritage. Australia’s natural and cultural geo-attractions are unique and complement existing tourism markets.
The rich geodiversity of our environment is an opportunity to support sustainable growth as well as adding value to the overall tourist experience. Despite the fact that we have an abundant geoheritage other countries only dream off, this great potential is currently still largely overlooked. Geotourism is emerging as a new global phenomenon which fosters tourism based upon landscapes. Its definition has recently been refined as a form of tourism that specifically focuses on the geology and landscapes which shape the character of a region. |
