This presentation discusses geotrails and geotourism. It begins by defining geotourism as tourism focused on geology and landforms to inform understanding of the biotic and cultural environment. The presentation then outlines three main sections: 1) Geotrails in general, 2) The Trail of Time in the Grand Canyon, and 3) Examples of geotrails in Australia and around the world, including the Pilbara in WA, Tasmania, and proposed trails in Perth. Geotrails can enhance existing tourism and accommodation or initiate new tourism development by providing attractions and activities centered around the geologic features of an area.

Geoparks: A global approach to promote sustainable tourism for local communities
by Dr Young Ng, Geotourism Workshop, Global Eco 2015

UNESCO Global Geoparks are single unified geographical areas and landscapes of international geological significance are managed with a holistic concept of protection, education and sustainable development. These designated areas give local people and communities a sense of pride in their region and strengthen their identification with the area. The creation of innovative local enterprises, new jobs and high quality training courses is stimulated as new sources or revenue are generated through geotourism.
With UNESCO formally creating the Global Global Geoparks program in November 2015, the Global Geoparks Network 2016 conference held in the UK in September afforded the first opportunity to discuss new protocols and key issues for UNESCO Global Geopark nomination. This conference also afforded the opportunity for representatives of Ecotourism Australia's Geotourism Forum to attend given that Australia is now progressing two Pre-Aspiring UNESCO Global Geoparks.
The Geotourism Forum representatives were able to learn from both the experience of existing UNESCO Global Geoparks and other pre-aspiring and aspiring nominations from other countries such as the UK, Canada and the USA. In particular, insights were gleaned about timeframes necessary to develop successful nominations, the imperative of community engagement as well as the emerging issue of geoparks been seen to contributing towards community health and wellbeing.
Given that geopark development in Australia is now being considered as a valuable mechanism to drive regional development, the presentation will address these issues and provide some highly relevant pointers for community groups and government agencies seeking to progress other nominated areas.

Determining the Potential for Geotrails by Alan Briggs
The Gunduwa Conservation Region (GCR) is situated over a convergence of biological, cultural and geological attributes that are of international significance. Located in the Midwest region of Western Australia the GCR also straddles the agricultural industries of cropping and grazing, and pastoral lands. Gunduwa is the Aboriginal name given to the prominent rocky outcrop now known as Mt Singleton which lies on Ningham Station, between Dalwallinu and Paynes Find on the Great Northern Highway. There are many other geological features within the region, some with interesting early explorer connections. During 2016 the potential for establishing geotrails in the region was investigated. This paper relates the concepts developed in considering what makes good geotrails, the overlaying structure for deriving heritage touristic information and also looks at preliminary findings of research into the community’s perceptions of establishing a Geopark in the region.

Geotourism and Geoparks, Porongorup, WA by Alan Briggs
Located 50 kilometres north of Albany in the south west of Western Australia, the Porongorup district is a picturesque lifestyle location with significant potential for sustainable tourism development. But what type of tourism? The Porongorup National Park, at the centre of the district and with more than 90,000 annual visitors, is a major nature-based natural attraction featuring a 670 metre granite monadnock and with modern tourism facilities. The Porongorup community asked the question of how to integrate opportunities for ecotourism and yet maintain the existing lifestyles of the community. Opinions were divided and a community forum was held to discuss the way forward. While attending the forum, research data was collected on the community’s views of establishing a Geopark in the district and to gauge community perception of doing so. Geoparks are areas using their significant geological interest to support natural and cultural awareness, education, protection and support sustainable development, and are supported by local communities. This paper will present the background to Geoparks, their potential for development of rural communities and preliminary outcomes from the Porongorup research in terms of tourism potential.

Geotourism, Mining and Mineral Heritage
The Australian Geoscience Council (AGC), which is the Peak Council of geoscientists in Australia representing eight major Australian geoscientific societies with a total membership of over 8,000 individuals, is currently consulting with state/territory government agencies with the aim of developing a national strategy predicated on consideration of a number of broad topics which include identifying mechanisms for collaboration with providers of other areas of natural (bioregion) and cultural heritage content, inclusive of mining heritage. Through the auspices particularly of the Heritage Committee of the AusIMM (an AGC member), it has been recognised that much of Australia’s rich mining heritage, including many outstanding mineral collections, has not been adequately integrated into tourism product development. Presentation to the Annual Conference of the Australasian Mining History Association, Atherton, Queensland, 9th July 2019.
Evolving Geotourism as a Key Driver of Regional Development in Australia: Glo...
Geotourism is a significant emerging and growing global phenomenon. Geotourism is essentially sustainable and holistic nature-based tourism ‘that focuses on an area's geology and landscape as the basis for providing visitor engagement, learning and enjoyment'. Resulting from its experiential characteristics, geotourism has links with adventure tourism and ecotourism. Geotourism also embraces cultural tourism, inclusive of indigenous tourism, an approach of increasing interest to both managers of protected and unprotected areas. Under the current national Australian Geoscience Council (AGC) 2015-2020 Strategic Plan, and as a geoscience advocacy opportunity, the AGC has decided to formulate a draft 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.
AGC recognises that the socio-economic benefits of geopark development, both UNESCO Global and national in scope, include the following.
1. Measurable economic benefits - additional visitors, direct and regional economic output, household income and wages, and local employment.
2. Through establishment of a management entity, a higher level of centralised coordination in areas of community engagement, product development, travel and hospitality services, tourism promotion/branding.
3. Maximisation of sustainable development and management of 'over tourism’.
4. Provision of a framework for focus on the 10 UNESCO Topics that include culture, education, climate change, geoconservation, and sustainable development.
In complementing ecotourism, geotourism is now evolving to determine its place as a key driver of nature-based tourism as a regional development imperative for Australia.
Te Tauihu Geotrail
Tourism in Tasman, Nelson and Marlborough forms a significant and valuable part of the region’s economy. A viable, long-term economic contribution can be ensured by increasing sustainability, and
attracting tourists that treat the region with respect. Geotourism can play an important role in this. It's an emerging form of sustainable tourism that focuses on geology, culture and nature and on gaining experiences. Geotourism can be delivered via geosites, geotrails and geoparks. This idea is about a geotrail that can be used as an exploration for the possibilities of a geopark.

Significant geotourism initiatives are emerging globally and in Australia. Geotourism development will in time necessitate the employment of geoscientists. Careers in geotourism can complement employment in mining and exploration. University Earth Science Faculties should consider introducing Tourism Earth Science as a curricular option, but include geomorphology as a core subject.

Geotourism – Adding Value to Traditional Nature-based Tourism
A presentation to the 2019 Annual Conference of 'Interpretation Australia', Melbourne, October 2016
Geotourism, a holistic form of nature-based tourism, is a significant emerging and growing global phenomenon. Geotourism focuses on an area's geology and landscape as the basis for providing visitor engagement, learning and enjoyment'. It has links with adventure tourism, cultural tourism and ecotourism, but is not synonymous with any of these forms of tourism, although in broad terms it actually embraces them all. Geotourism adds considerable content value to traditional nature-based tourism (the primary motivator of travel to Australia) as well as cultural tourism, inclusive of indigenous tourism, thus completing the holistic embrace of ‘A’ (abiotic – landscape and geology) plus ‘B’ (biotic – flora and fauna) plus ‘C’ (culture) aspects. The Australian Geoscience Council is currently consulting with state/territory government agencies with the aim of developing a national strategy predicated on consideration of a number of broad topics including the following.
• Geotourism as a means of celebrating geoheritage by expansion of the geotourism map concept progressively across Australia on a ‘state by state’ basis, as well as consideration of new ICTs (e.g. smartphones, 3D visualisation, AR & VR) and GIS technologies as a cost effective means of accessing and better communicating geological content for travellers and residents in regional Australia.
• New geotrail development – local, regional and national engagement to open up dialogue with existing walking, biking and rail trail interest groups and operators to highlight the availability of quality geoscience data.
• Consideration of establishing a national set of administrative procedures for ‘georegional’ assessment to provide for potential geopark nomination at state and national levels.
• Mechanisms for collaboration with providers of other areas of natural (bioregion) and cultural heritage content, inclusive of mining heritage.
• Professional development for geoscientist guides in interpreting natural and cultural heritage as tour guides.
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.

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 - 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 NGS will be based on a number of agreed goals based on the following themes.
1. Development of new digital technologies to deliver and interpret for the traveller or visitor, quality natural and cultural heritage content, highlighting particularly geology and landscape.
2. To define an approval pathway for major geotourism projects.
3. To establish a framework for creating high quality, sustainable geotrails.
4. To establish a national framework for geoheritage listings suitable for geotourism.
5. To develop geotourism in regional mining communities with potential geoheritage and cultural heritage sites.
6. To strengthen Australia’s international geoscience standing through geotourism excellence.
7. To develop and enhance the geoscience interpretation and communication skills of everyone actively involved in the presentation of geosites, enabling the provision of accurate and thematic information in an accessible manner.

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.
‘Geotourism in the Scenic Rim and the National Geotourism Strategy (NGS)’

Key Takeaways:
* A national geotourism strategy will provide a framework to enhance the quality and scope of experiences in the Scenic Rim.
* Geotours must offer a variety of experiences for travellers to succeed as a tourism product.
* Availability of augmented and virtual reality tools supported by quality interpretative signage would enhance greatly the visitor experience .
* The recent bush fires in the Scenic Rim have reinforced the value of geotourism as a means of raising awareness of Climate Change issues – a key UNESCO Global Geopark discussion topic.

Blue Mountains National Landscape and the National Geotourism Strategy
A presentation tto a Symposium of the Linnean Society of NSW, 8th November 2019:
Geotourism, a holistic form of nature-based tourism, is a significant emerging and growing global phenomenon. Geotourism focuses on an area's geology and landscape as the basis for providing visitor engagement, learning and enjoyment'. In summary, geotourism
• adds considerable content value to traditional nature-based tourism (the primary motivator of travel to Australia) as well as cultural tourism, inclusive of indigenous tourism, thus completing the holistic embrace of ‘A’ (abiotic – landscape and geology) plus ‘B’ (biotic) plus ‘C’ (culture) aspects. It empathises an approach of increasing interest to protected area managers, particularly given the experience gained from the now discontinued Australian National Landscape programme (which included the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area);
• celebrates geoheritage and promotes awareness of and better understanding of the geosciences;
• contributes to regional development imperatives in areas experiencing social and economic difficulties through increased tourist visitation, particularly from overseas;
• creates professional and career development for geoscientists;
• provides a means of highlighting and promoting public interest in mining heritage;
• provides the means of increasing public access to geological information through a range of new information and communication technology (ICT) applications; and
• engenders an increasing awareness of the importance in geology as a fundamental science that has had and will continue to have major impacts on civilisations.
The Australian Geoscience Council (AGC), which is the Peak Council of geoscientists in Australia representing eight major Australian geoscientific societies with a total membership of over 8,000 individuals, is currently consulting with state/territory government agencies with the aim of developing a national strategy predicated on consideration of a number of broad topics which include identifying mechanisms for collaboration with providers of other areas of natural (bioregion) and cultural heritage content. Other topics under consideration include geotourism as a means of celebrating and better coordination nationally of geoheritage data bases and establishing a national set of administrative procedures for ‘georegional’ assessment to provide for major geotourism project development.
Adoption by state government agencies of a national geotourism strategy offers the potential to stimulate new nature-based tourism development and a more holistic appreciation of natural and cultural heritage. As Australia’s most visited tourism destination, the Blue Mountains is well positioned to benefit from this development.
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.
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.
Self Drive and Geotourism: Peter Homan
The face of tourism has been changing; consumers are seeking experiences that offer an emotive connection rather than just a transaction experience. This is particularly evident with the younger generation.
Tourists are now venturing off the beaten track to see more nature - based experiences that can be shared on social media. The trend is particularly evident when considering geologically rich places with interesting landscapes or rock formations. In the outback, we have a wide range of outstanding landscapes and sculptures to promote to this new breed of traveller. Our focus is to provide access and knowledge of our wonderful natural assets to a technologically savvy marketplace. OQTA’s 2020 vison is to highlight four key themes and hero experiences in the outback: Paleotourism, Outback Adventures, Heritage and Locals and Outback Events – promoting the natural gorges, lookouts, parks, scenic flights, Aboriginal rock art and drives. OQTA see the potential to join this vision, by creating and promoting self-drive itineraries with the focus on geotourism attractions.
We see an opportunity to build self-drive itineraries that focus on the hero experiences .This will drive the consumer preference of finding these remarkable natural offerings and target markets that are time poor. There are many niche markets that are accessible and make marketing more value driven as well as targeting more engaged audiences. For example: Twitchers; Snailers; agri-tourists; wildlife lovers; cultural and heritage to name a few. This is what will drive tourism in to the future and fits so well with Geotourism.
