The GeoTahoe map will guide visitors and residents to ‘geotouristic’ places, activites, events, sites and local businesses. Check out the following link to better understand what this can mean to Tahoe tourism enterprises: How to develop a Geotourism MapGuide (PDF). The following survey is the first step to inventory geotourism assests already existing in the Tahoe Basin. Please take the survey to help build the GeoTahoe inventory that will lead to the new map and menu of experiences for visitors and residents alike.
What is Geotourism?
Geotourism is defined as tourism that sustains or enhances the geographical character of a place - its environment, culture, aesthetics, heritage, and the well-being of its residents. The National Geographic Center for Sustainable Destinations is working to protect all the world's distinctive places through wisely managed tourism and enlightened destination stewardship. http://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/sustainable/
The focus is simple:
Incorporate a sustainable tourism concept, embrace practices that leave destinations unspoiled, enhance and protect local character, generate revenue that promotes conservation, and encompass distinctive cultural and historic assets
The mission is to protect and enhance the world’s distinctive places though wisely managed tourism and enlightened destination stewardship.
