Austrade’s recently released THRIVE 2030 Visitor Economy Strategy is designed to assist the tourism industry and governments in planning for sustainable, long-term growth of the visitor economy over the next decade. The vision is the delivery of high quality geotourism experiences for local and overseas visitors and support for sustainable ecotourism businesses that are globally competitive and provide jobs and infrastructure that will benefit regional Australian communities.
A key action of this strategy is to expand high-quality experiences around unique Australian locations and themes incorporating sustainable geotourism with economic opportunities for Traditional Owners. The goals of THRIVE complement the AGC’s National Geotourism Strategy (NGS) particularly in combining natural and cultural heritage-based geotourism.
The NGS will support the orderly development of major geotourism projects such as GeoRegions, in line with overseas trends and domestic regional development, and the inclusion of a geotourism case study on the Glen Innes Highlands in NSW as a designated ‘GeoRegion’ was a major step forward for geotourism concepts.
The Glen Innes Highlands are rich in natural and cultural heritage, boasting unique landscapes, waterways, vegetation, wildlife, and cultural heritage that includes extensive historical mining sites. The proposed Glen Innes GeoRegion aims to be a model geotourism destination in line with the THRIVE 2030 Strategy, with local First Nations peoples, state government, local councils, and other interest groups working together to develop exciting geotrails. As key NGS pilot projects, the Glen Innes Highlands joins two other Australian GeoRegions in establishing new pathways for tourism regional development in Australia.
Geotourism - Conserving Heritage and Generating Post-Mining Economies for Com...AngusMRobinson
In launching in April 2021 a national strategy for geotourism development, the peak body - the Australian Geoscience Council Inc (AGC) has consulted with one of its key members, the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (The AusIMM) through the auspices of its Heritage Committee working with the Societies of Social and Environment , and Geoscience 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.
The AusIMM has also identified several topics which could form the basis for incorporating this aspiration into Goal 5. This includes issues relating to the consequences of mine closure. The current emphasis is on environmental remediation (make safe, stable, and non-polluting). This needs to be broadened to preserve the mining heritage including gossans and other geologically significant exposures, structures (e.g., buildings, workings, and equipment) and other artifacts (e.g., mining and personnel records). A mine site at Rosebery in Tasmania has agreed to participate in a geotourism focused, pilot project.

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’. By raising awareness of the importance of the area’s geological heritage in society today, geotourism gives local people a sense of pride in their region and strengthens their identification with the area.
In recognition of these benefits, the National Geotourism Strategy, launched in April 2021 embraces seven strategic goals that includes (Goal 5) i.e., ‘to develop geotourism in regional mining communities with potential geoheritage and cultural heritage sites’. Goal 5 identifies opportunities for geotourism in rural and regional Australian post (or active) mining communities, and their recreational, educational, and cultural values can be realised. Goal 5 also aims to draw attention to the range of activities that could be conducted in these places. By way of example, a national mining park has also been proposed for the NSW Hunter Valley to celebrate the significant role mining has played in Australia’s development.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

Ecotourism and geotourism
The National Geotourism Strategy
What is a GeoRegion?
Socio-economic benefits of
GeoRegions and geotourism
THRIVE 2030 Visitor Economy
Strategy
Alignment of THRIVE with the
National Geotourism Strategy
Geotrails and other major projects
Take-Aways
3. Ecotourism
&
Geotourism
Concepts
Ecotourism is practised
predominantly in protected
areas such as national parks
whereas geotourism is
undertaken also in all areas
where primary industry
activities are being carried
out.
Geotourism is increasingly
seen globally as an instrument
of regional economic
development.
4. Geotourism
‘Place
based &
Holistic’
Nature
Tourism
comprises the following features of both natural
and cultural heritage:
Abiotic – non-living aspects such as the sky,
climate & geology, landscape and landforms:
celebrating GEODIVERSITY.
Biotic – the living parts e.g., flora (plants) and
fauna (animals): celebrating BIODIVERSITY.
Cultural – past & present, both Aboriginal and post
European settlement (incl. mining), non-living and
built: celebrating HUMAN DIVERSITY.
Holistic in scope, geotourism is booming globally
and a key driver for tourism, particularly in
Europe and Asia.
6. Geotourism incorporating
all types of ‘nature-based’ tourism
Sightseeing,
‘Scenic Areas'
Wildlife
tourism
Agritourism
Aboriginal
Tourism
Astro-
tourism
Cultural
Tourism
ECOTOURISM
Geotourism
i.e. ‘experiential
tourism’
7. Why a
National
Geotourism
Strategy?
Unique opportunity for engaging the broader
community with geoscience.
With COVID-19, domestic tourism is now
looking for innovative product development.
Major opportunity for rural and regional
development, focusing on both natural and
cultural heritage, both mining and Aboriginal.
Emerging grass-roots community support
evident – however this requires
implementation to be effective.
Need a national strategy to complement what
the Australian Government delivered for
ecotourism in 1994.
8. Defining a
GeoRegion - the
first step
in evaluating its
potential
development for
geotourism
An area defined by a proponent
(which might include for example a
LGA or a RDA) having completed an
approved tourism Destination
Management Plan (DMP).
And the proponent now wishes to
seek agreement from the
State/Territory Geological Survey
and other agencies to designate a
defined area of particular natural
and cultural heritage which
highlights outstanding geoheritage
features.
9. Societal
Benefits of
Developing a
GeoRegion
for
Geotourism
By celebrating the geological heritage
of an identified GeoRegion, and in
connection with all other aspects of the
area’s natural and cultural heritage
(and most significantly, Aboriginal
heritage), geotourism enhances
awareness and understanding of key
issues facing society.
Geotourism gives local people a sense
of pride and strengthens their
identification with a GeoRegion.
10. Cultural
Heritage
Benefits of
Geotourism
Holistic Aboriginal Culture elements linked
to landscape and astral interpretation
(‘sky country’).
For Australia, an enhanced understanding
of cultural elements of post European
settlement.
Extensive mining heritage.
Other primary industry and historic
cultural elements.
11. Over-riding
Socio-
economic
Benefits of
Geotourism
for
GeoRegions
Measurable economic benefits through
enhancement of traditional nature-based tourism

14. Economic
Impact of
COVID-19
for
Australian
Tourism
COVID-19 was an unprecedented shock to
the visitor economy.
International visitation dropped 98%.
GDP contribution was down almost 50%.
Jobs losses of 25 % (over 190,000 jobs)
were sustained.
Fewer visitors meant much lower business
revenue.
Total expenditure lost to the visitor
economy from March 2020 to June 2021 of
$102 billion.

20. Best
Practice
Geotrails
Should be constructed around routes
currently used by tourists; geotrails should
form logical journeys linking
accommodation destinations.
Should meld the geological heritage
features of a region with a cohesive
STORY.
Should incorporate and package in the
biodiversity and cultural components
(including mining heritage) of the
GeoRegion through which the geotrail
traverses.
21. National
Geotourism
Strategy
Goal 2
Defining an approval pathway for major
geotourism projects.
Three Pilot GeoRegion Projects:
Ku-ring-gai, Sydney, NSW.
Murchison, Mid West, WA.
Glen Innes, New England Highlands, NSW.
22. Take-Aways
Geotourism is increasingly being recognised
worldwide as a major deliverer of nature-
based tourism.
Tourism destination management planning
can deliver superior experiences with a
geotourism focused approach.
The THRIVE 2030 strategy provides the
means of gaining tourism industry support
for the National Geotourism Strategy in
Australia.
