Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The geotourism industry has grown rapidly in recent years. This book introduces the geotourism industry, its attractions, activities and developments, in selected countries of the Middle East. A number of publications and studies have investigated the nature and scope of the phenomenon of geotourism (tourism which starts from geology) and geotourists worldwide. However, despite the breadth of these studies, few publications have investigated the phenomena in the Middle Eastern countries. Consequently, this book seeks to shed light on the different aspects of geotourism and geo-diversity in the Middle East and provides a number of case studies from this region. It assists in bridging the lacuna in the tourism and geology literature and helps planners, marketers, managers, scholars and researchers to enhance their knowledge about such issues. It outlines opportunities for, as well as barriers to, geotourism development in the Middle East as well as providing recommendations for the advancement of geotourism in the region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When most people think geologist in a natural tourist destination is only able to tell you the rock's history (geotourism or geological tourism), the author argue: geologist able to do more than just explaining the rocks! The author offer new opportunities through his idea of tourism geology: increase visitor experience, increasing safety awareness, new tourist attraction / tourist destination, new tourism market, or even new tourism type. Tourism geology idea is able to be applied anywhere: National Park, National Monument, UNESCO Geopark, even deep ocean floor or Mars! Tourism geology idea is provided as the other new perspective on geology and tourism relation. It is about the future of tourism and also business opportunity where geological knowledge able to support various types of tourism markets, e.g. the markets of: o Sun and Beach Tourism o Adventure Tourism o Health Tourism o Medical Tourism o Cave Tourism o Volcano Tourism o Deep Sea Tourism o Moon Tourism o Mars Tourism Written by a geologist who dedicated his years to develop it, he shares his perspective in: o 1 chapter of introduction depicts the general description of the book, o 4 chapters of know-why arguments which describe tourism geology phylosophy, tourist attraction, tourist activity, safety, and impact of the activity, what make it differ with geotourism, and o 5 chapters of know-how knowledge as research demonstration. Tourism geology idea provides what should be asked to geologist and what should be delivered by geologist to tourism-related professionals (e.g. park manager, tour guide/operator, and park rangers). Hence, those two professions able to communicate in the same content and same context. The content is to deliver proper geological knowledge, while the context is tourist attraction. The book is the first tourism geology textbook, the real geological application for tourism to support tourism-related professionals. Get Free ebooks: https://yudispurnama.com/free-resources/).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the geographical, geomorphological, ecological, touristic and socioeconomic aspects of natural heritage, argues for the dynamic conservation of that heritage and explains its key characteristics, promotion, conservation and management to achieve sustainable development goals. Emerging concepts such as geodiversity, geographical heritage sites, geomonuments, geoparks and geotourism are increasingly being used by conservationists. At present, the development of geoparks is a major global theme involving the application of geosciences to promote the inclusive growth of society and the protection and conservation of our unique geoheritage. Currently, there are 147 UNESCO global geoparks across 41 countries, in addition to a number of national-level geoparks. Pursuing a holistic approach towards such sites will sensitise the general public to the need for geoconservation of significant geosites and promote it through geotourism. It is a crucial issue, as various countries around the world are eager to develop their geoparks and are working for the conservation of geoheritage sites at the national level. This unique book gathers contributions from 15 countries in the form of case studies analysing the realities on of geographical heritage, geoparks and geotourism. The respective chapters address the role of geoparks as essential tools for education, recreation and nature conservation. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable guide for geoscientists, planners, policymakers, civil society and anyone concerned about the conservation of geoheritage sites and geoparks for a sustainable future Earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ross K. Dowling and David Newsome present an original, substantial and much-needed contribution to the field to further our understanding of geotourism in theory and practice. This Handbook defines, characterizes and explores the subject through a range of international perspectives and case studies, identifying geotourism as a rapidly emerging form of urban and regional sustainable development. With extensive case studies from North and South America, Europe, Asia, Australasia and Africa, this global Handbook examines and explains the relationship between geology and tourism. Thematically arranged sections cover the relationship of geology with tourism, sustainability and society, geotourism in urban areas, and interpretation and education strategies. The final two sections assess geotourism's impact through wide-ranging case studies of UNESCO global geoparks and geotourism in a range of countries. The eminent academics and practitioners demonstrate how geotourism is the future for engaging the public and protecting geosites, as well as emphasising the importance of sustainability. An essential resource for students and educators, this Handbook provides an international perspective for those interested in tourism, environmental geography, ecology and geology. Written with practitioners in mind, this book reveals how tourism professionals and geologists should each know about the nexus of their subjects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to identify geotourism and geoparks as gateways to socio-cultural, socio-environmental, and socio-economic sustainability in rural areas. At present, geotourism is a new movement helping travelers to increase their knowledge about natural resources, the cultural identities of host communities, and ways of preserving them. The 'emerging tourism' niche of geotourism is still at an early stage of commercial development in most countries, and geoparks as a sustainable development model for protected areas are pioneers in the development of geotourism marketing. The establishment of the European Geoparks Network and the Global Geoparks Network are positive steps toward the preservation and presentation of geo-heritage as a new tourist attraction. Geoparks and Geotourism provides an opportunity for students, professionals, and authorities of geoparks to take advantage of emerging techniques to create new products, facilities, services, technologies, and management practices for geoparks in the future. Consequently, the book is a paradigm for geoparks who want to come under the umbrella of the Global Geoparks Network. The numerous examples provided of geoparks currently attracting travelers may contribute to the creation of innovative strategies for sustainability and geoconservation in rural areas around the world.
