About Geoturism
Defined as the tourism that sustains or enhances the geographical character of a place, Geoturism is a new approach to experience places and people preserving their environment, culture, aesthetics and heritage.
Geoturism strives for promoting a responsible experience based in the enjoyment of natural and cultural heritages, an activity that promotes conservation of natural and cultural diversity, while providing visitors with new and one of a kind experiences.
Geoturism values
- Visitors should learn about and respect the customs and culture of the country they visit.
- Tourist operators ensure that local people benefit economically from tourism by employing them as leaders and guides, using family-based resources where possible.
- Tourist activities minimise their impact on the environment and local traditions by moving in small groups, offsetting carbon emissions and reducing waste
