Secad Historic Graves & Ring of Cork
The Historic Graves Project is a community collaboration that aims to promote genealogical tourism by pinpointing family names and histories across centuries in graveyards in southeast Cork, Ireland. Volunteers record information from historic graveyards to share online and create puzzles and stories to engage people in learning about the people and families represented in each place through time.
Medieval pilgrimages
Medieval pilgrimages allowed people to experience communities outside their local parish church. Undertakings pilgrimages was difficult as roads were poor and travel dangerous. Pilgrimages spread language, culture, and ideas across Europe while also causing issues like piracy. They led to changes in Europe like increased awareness of eastern culture from the Crusades and more religious sites and cathedrals being established.

An Introduction to the Ballyhoura Peter Robinson Assisted Emigration Project
This document provides an overview of a genealogical tourism project led by Dr. Paul MacCotter and John Tierney to document the history of families that took part in the Peter Robinson Assisted Emigration from Ireland to Canada in the 1820s-1830s. The project involves surveying graveyards and mapping homestead locations to build an online geolocated database of records. The goal is to help descendants research their ancestry and trace the places their families lived before emigrating. Methods for collecting, organizing, and publishing the historical data online are discussed.

1) Tourism is shifting from passive viewing of cultural artifacts and events to active involvement in local culture and heritage through experiences like learning, storytelling, and aesthetic appreciation.
2) Preserving intangible cultural heritage, like stories, practices, music, and food, through tourism can encourage involvement while providing money and support to local communities.
3) However, commercializing intangible cultural heritage for tourism risks impacting its authenticity. Successful management requires considering a destination's tourist carrying capacity, community resilience, and adapting experiences to respect local culture and environments.

Archaeology of East Midlands Class 2 Beeston Winter 2015
This document summarizes a class on the early prehistory of the East Midlands region of England. It discusses the earliest human occupation of the region dating back to 450,000 years ago along the Bytham River. As the last ice age ended, the landscape changed dramatically with rising sea levels flooding Doggerland between Britain and continental Europe. The Late Upper Paleolithic period saw nomadic hunter-gatherers occupying caves like Creswell Crags. The Neolithic period saw the adoption of agriculture and construction of monuments like cursuses, henges, and long barrows. Notable archaeological sites from this time include Lismore Field settlement remains and the Bronze Age burial site at Lockington that

Geophysical survey techniques for investigating archaeological sites below the ground surface are also introduced.
Human origins tour Mossel Bay
In 1997, two scientists discovered an archeologically significant cave during an environmental assessment near Mossel Bay, South Africa. Extensive excavations of the Pinnacle Point caves since 2000 have uncovered evidence of human occupation dating back over 160,000 years, challenging previous beliefs that modern human behavior emerged much more recently in Europe. The caves contain thick layers of shells, bones, stone tools, and charcoal remains that have provided insights into how early humans lived in the area and harvested resources sustainably from the shoreline.

Sherwood Forest Geotrail - Nottinghamshire
Geodiversity and geoheritage play an increasingly important role in the tourism industry. As a result, geosites, geotrails, and geoparks are created all over the world to fulfill the need. Nottinghamshire has geological sites of interests, wonderful landscapes and great cultural heritage. This example of a geotrail shows its potential.
Meso and neolithic nearpod slideshare
The document provides information on Mesolithic and Neolithic settlers in Ireland. It discusses:
- Mesolithic settlers arrived in Ireland around 7000 BC and settled along river banks and coasts, hunting and gathering food. Evidence from Mount Sandel shows they lived in huts and exploited salmon and other fish.
- In the Neolithic period, around 3500 BC, farming was introduced through clearing forests and domesticating animals. This allowed more permanent settlements and the development of monumental architecture like megalithic tombs, as well as pottery and polished stone tools like porcellanite axes.

Career Opportunities Realised Through Geotourism
Dr Melinda McHenry, Physical Geographer and Learning & Teaching Strategist at The University of Tasmania, has convened this webinar for her 'geo-professional' (geoscientists, geographers, geomorphologists etc) to focus on the development of geotourism through the National Geotourism Strategy (of the Australian Geoscience Council), from the perspective of a presenter with varied experience in a wide range of industry sectors.
.
Geotourism - A Transformational Approach to Conserving Heritage and Generati...
In formulating a national strategy for geotourism development, the Australian Geoscience Council
Inc (AGC) has consulted with both the Heritage Committee and the Society of Social and
Environment (The Society) of The AusIMM to determine how best the development
of geotourism throughout Australia can enhance the scope of regional development of mining areas
during current mining activities and after mine closure. Geotourism adds considerable holistic
content value to traditional nature-based tourism as well as cultural attributes (embracing both
Aboriginal and post European settlement) having regard to mining aspects and can be delivered
through mechanisms such as geotrails and geoparks within defined ‘GeoRegions’.
Driving Australia’s National Geotourism Strategy through the AGC
The Australian Geoscience Council Inc (AGC) has set up a National Geotourism Strategy Reference Group (NGSRG) which includes representatives of other key active stakeholders (e.g. the Geotourism Standing Committee of the Geological Society of Australia), and under the guidance of this reference group, other key stakeholder groups will be best placed to help deliver different parts of a National Geotourism Strategy (NGS).
This NGS is being designed to support the orderly development of major geotourism projects and activities in line with overseas trends and domestic regional development imperatives. The AGC sees the articulation of a strategy with a staged and incremental approach as being essential to ultimately gain government endorsement at all levels. The development of a National Ecotourism Strategy in 1994 and subsequent state/territory-based initiatives is considered as a particularly useful precedent and guide. Of significance internationally is the development of geotourism in Australia that lags many countries’ approach, notwithstanding the fact Australia has taken the initiatives in several areas in development of the concepts underpinning geotourism.
The pursuit of geotourism offers the potential for new industries and employment opportunities through the development of major projects within Australia. Also, very significantly from a strategic perspective, the AGC recognises that the development of geotourism may be one of the best ways to communicate the value of geoscience to the broader Australian community. The AGC considers that this improved profile for geoscience is likely to have a positive impact in other areas of strategic importance, most notably the need for continuing tertiary enrolments in geoscience, which is required to meet Australia’s needs for highly qualified geoscience graduates and researchers into the future.
The National Geotourism Strategy and Implications for Geoscience Education
The document discusses the National Geotourism Strategy in Australia and its implications for geoscience education. It outlines 7 strategic goals of the strategy, including developing geotourism in mining communities, strengthening Australia's international standing in geotourism, and enhancing geoscience communication skills. It emphasizes that realizing the strategy's goals will require geoscience graduates to understand technologies like AR/VR, appreciate cultural landscapes in mining areas, and effectively communicate geoscience concepts to the public.
Delivering a National Geotourism Strategy for Australia - Central Highlands G...
The Central Highlands GeoRegion of Central Qld contains all the key components including geotrails in which a future mining park or UNESCO Global Geopark can be developed.
Augmenting the Geotourism Experience through New Digital Technologies
In developing a National Geotourism Strategy for Australia, the AGC has recognised that state-based geotourism maps, supplemented by publications, may well be eventually replaced by digital technologies (e.g. 3D visualisation, augmented reality, virtual reality, holograms and live streaming using smartphones and drones) and GIS technologies as a cost effective means of accessing and better communicating geological content for tourists throughout regional Australia.
Delivering a National Geotourism Strategy for Australia
As a geoscience development opportunity, the Australian Geoscience Council has decided to formulate a National Geotourism Strategy to accommodate the orderly development of major geotourism projects (which might include geoparks) and other activities (such as geotrails) in line with overseas trends and domestic regional development imperatives. It is intended that this strategy will complement the National Ecotourism Strategy completed some 25 years ago.
UTAS Webinar Workshop: Geoheritage and Geotourism
This presentation formed the basis of the webinar organised for students of the College of Sciences and Engineering of the School of Technology, Environments and Design, University of Tasmania with the topic of ‘Geoheritage and Geotourism’. The take-aways from the webinair were
Geotourism is holistic and ‘place based’ with geology and landscapes as its base.
The right balance needs to be determined between exposing geosites for public visitation & geoconservation needs.
Geotourism must determine what measures are put in place or techniques used to respect geoconservation considerations.
Through the study of geomorphology, an understanding of landscapes can enhance outstanding, interpretative experiences for visitors.
The application of new digital technologies can add considerable value to the geotourism experience.
Geoheritage needs to embrace both fossil & mineral treasures.

‘Geotourism in the Scenic Rim and the National Geotourism Strategy (NGS)’
This document discusses geotourism and the National Geotourism Strategy in Australia. It provides context on geotourism and how it relates to but is broader than ecotourism. It then discusses the Scenic Rim region as a National Landscape and highlights some of its iconic geotourism themes and resources. These include volcanic formations, subtropical rainforests, and Indigenous and post-settlement culture. It outlines topics to be addressed in the National Geotourism Strategy and emphasizes enhancing visitor experiences through improved interpretation and technology.

The document discusses developing geotourism in Australia as a driver of regional economic development. It outlines the Australian Geoscience Council's plan to develop a national geotourism strategy. Key topics for the strategy include enhancing coordination of geoheritage listings, establishing procedures for assessing georegions, developing new geotrails, and collaborating across natural, cultural and mining heritage sectors to provide holistic geotourism experiences. Geotrails in particular are seen as a cost-effective way to promote regional areas and their geological features while respecting land access and management. The strategy aims to grow both geotourism and ecotourism in Australia.

A presentation to a symposium of the Linnean Society of NSW in the Blue Mountains, 8th November 2019 by Judy Smith, Peter Smith and Kate Smith
Blue Mountains National Landscape and the National Geotourism Strategy
The document discusses a national geotourism strategy for Australia and its application to the Blue Mountains World Heritage Area. It outlines how geotourism can celebrate the region's geoheritage by expanding mapping and using new technologies. It also discusses developing geotrails, collaborating across natural and cultural heritage, and training geologists in interpretation. The strategy aims to enhance coordination of geoheritage listings and establish assessment procedures to balance protection and visitation of important geosites.
Geotourism – Adding Value to Traditional Nature-based Tourism
The document discusses developing a National Geotourism Strategy in Australia. It defines geotourism as nature-based tourism that focuses on an area's geology and landscape. The strategy would coordinate geoheritage listings, develop new geotrails, and train geologists in interpretation skills. It emphasizes collaborating with groups involved in mining heritage, biodiversity, and indigenous culture to provide holistic geotourism experiences. The goal is to boost regional development and geoscience understanding through geotourism.
Enhancing the Pilbara Georegion Through Geotourism by Angus M Robinson
In recent years there has been a growing realisation that economic development in outback regional Australia needs to be built on the three sustainable core pillars of mining, agriculture and tourism. Geotourism, an emerging global phenomenon, is holistic and is an experiential form of nature (and culture – both indigenous and post European settlement based) tourism. Unlike ecotourism which focuses mainly on flora and fauna in essentially protected areas, geotourism can extend across both designated protected and unprotected areas, including those areas subject of existing agricultural and mining development. By raising awareness of the importance of the area’s geological heritage in history and society today, geotourism provides local communities with a sense of pride in their region and strengthens their identification with the region. Geotourism can be the generator of new jobs and innovative local enterprises as new sources of revenue, as well as the opportunity for existing remote area businesses to diversify into provision of visitor services, while the geological heritage of the region can be better managed and protected.
Embracing through geotourism the Pilbara Georegion’s world-famous North Pole stromatolites, given this geosite’s world class profile as the oldest living community fossils on the planet, has considerable potential in establishing Australia as a ‘must see’ destination for fossil-rich geoheritage visitation. Realisation of this potential, when combined with the parallel development of the truly unique Nilpena Ediacaran fossil assemblage site in South Australia’s Flinders Ranges, as well as the established Age of Dinosaurs museum in Winton in Western Queensland, will deliver for Australia an unparalleled tourism destination. For the emerging, high value, free and independent market in China, the availability of high profile ‘scenic areas’ such as the Pilbara Georegion, with its outstanding natural heritage and cultural values, offers outstanding ‘bucket list’ appeal.
Protection, Preservation and Promotion: geo-heritage and geotourism opportuni...
Australia’s human heritage is well known, with our aboriginal peoples acknowledged as the oldest surviving culture in the world, extending at least 60000 years.
Our natural heritage goes even further – with rock outcrops in Western Australia extending from the Archean (about 3.6 Billion years ago) to recent surficial and unconsolidated deposits which form our rivers, streams, coastlines and shape our deserts. These collectively provide evidence of geological processes and events that have shaped our continent and even influenced our understanding of our planet.
Geological heritage – though important – is insufficiently protected, and there are limited legislative protections safeguarding this knowledge and understanding for future generations.
Government led geoscience efforts to date have primarily focused on baseline geoscience acquisition for the purposes of identifying mineral and energy resources and while a tremendous amount of data and information is collected from Geological Surveys and their Federal counterparts. However, there remains a gap in understanding and appreciating geo-heritage sites of significance and ensuring their ongoing protection and preservation.
In addition, the intrinsic value, aesthetics and appeal of certain locations lead to tourism related opportunities. Geo-tourism is rapidly gaining popularity overseas and many attractions and supporting industries are now operational including in Indonesia and New Zealand. There remains an opportunity – and obligation – of adequately manage our geo-heritage site and information while facilitating the development and promotion of a thriving yet sustainable geo-tourism industry in the Northern Territory.
New National Park at Nilpena, Flinders Ranges, South Australia
As an exemplar of geodiversity in the Earth’s geological record, the Ediacaran fossil assemblage of the Flinders Ranges also celebrates the very birth of the Earth’s biodiversity.
As one of Australia’s most significant National Landscapes, the Flinders Ranges has the making of being also declared as another UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife (FNPW) with the Flinders Ranges Ediacara Foundation and the SA Government aims to create a new national park as a key core component of this vision - truly and outstanding geotourism destination for Australia.
Geotourism Developments in Australia
Presentation representing a briefing to the Outback Queensland Tourism Association Symposium and Awards, Roma Qld, 2nd November 2018
Engaging with the Greater China Region: Case Studies for Taiwan and China
In the political and economic context of the Asian Century, Australia through its cities and regional areas needs to work hard in establishing long-term social and economic relationships with the powerhouse of Asia, that is currently established within North Asia, particularly in the Greater China Region (China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong) with its strong technological links to Japan and South Korea; and with the appreciation that the Chinese business community extends well into South East Asia. The Greater China Region includes a wide range of provinces and city centres, many of which have demonstrated a keen willingness to establish bi-lateral ties through a range of mechanisms that have invariably involved sister city and inter-industry association relationships. In July 2005, the Australian and Taiwan ICT industries agreed to co-operate in the mutual development of their electronics and ICT sectors through the implementation of a program of engagement guided by a strategic framework agreement as a logical consequence of an active program of activities developed between the Australian Electrical & Electronic Manufacturers’ Association and the Taiwan Electrical & Electronic Manufacturers’ Association since early 2002. Progress under this arrangement was reported annually to the Bilateral Economic Consultations between Australia and Taiwan. Separately, in 2016, the Geological Societies of Australia and China entered into a unique Memorandum of Cooperation that was principally aimed at growing the level of best practice, nature-based tourism in both countries, and has already led to a structured ‘sister’ regional relationship in NSW and potentially in Tropical Far North Queensland.
A New Approval Process for Major Geotourism Projects Under Review
Over the past 10 years, the awareness of geotourism and interest from key constituency groups continues to grow. Geotourism has been featured at SEGRA since 2012; with the inaugural geotourism workshop at SEGRA 2014 in Alice Springs, SEGRA 2015 held in Bathurst, NSW, an event which saw the genesis of the Etheridge (Far North Qld) and Warrumbungle (Central West NSW) UNESCO global geopark proposals. Geotourism workshops have also been convened at SEGRA 2016 in Albany, WA, and SEGRA 2017 at Port Augusta, 2017. Despite recent setbacks with the nomination process for these geopark developments, support for geotrail projects is increasing across Australia, with a key challenge for transforming geotrail projects to include both biotic and cultural content. Is recognised that the key driver of geopark development must be focused on regional development – i.e. jobs and growth and demonstrate economic benefit to offset perceived political risk. A high level of community (including other land-user) engagement is also essential to meet nomination requirements. In recognition of these factors, discussions have taken place with government to develop a new process for considering geopark proposals. During a first stage, proponents may need to undertake a ‘GeoRegional’ assessment including the determination of the most viable geotourism delivery mechanism available. Should a geopark option be favoured, discussions with the State/Territory Geological Survey and relevant planning agencies to obtain approval ‘in principle’ will be required. The initiation of extensive community consultation and the finalisation of stipulated nomination documentation for formal approval of the State Government will need to be essential pre-requisites.

A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径但认证只是个体行为不是所有留学生都操作所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单就有了使用价值。乌龟和王八贼头贼脑的倒也逗人喜爱日上三竿时山娃总爱窜进自家瓜棚里跟小伙伴们坐着聊天聊着聊着便忍不住往瓜田里逡巡一番抱起一只硕大的西瓜用石刀劈开抑或用拳头砸开每人抱起一大块就啃啃得满嘴满脸猴屁股般的红艳大家一个劲地指着对方吃吃地笑瓜裂得古怪奇形怪状却丝毫不影响瓜味甜丝丝的满嘴生津遍地都是瓜横七竖八的活像掷满了一地的大石块摘走二三只爷爷是断然发现不了的即便发现爷爷也不恼反而教山娃辨认孰熟孰嫩孰甜孰淡水
