-- "Here is an engaging overview of the development of, definition of, and approach to modern geotourism, a growing movement to help sustain and showcase the distinctive geographical characteristics of many places around the world. This volume, The Geotourism Industry in the 21st Century: The Origin, Principles, and Futuristic Approach, provides a clear conceptual framework with illustrative examples from all corners of the world to better understand abiotic nature-based tourism. The volume looks at the establishment and effective management of the over 130 UNESCO geoparks around the world and other travel and tourism destinations of interest for their significant historical, cultural, and frequently stunning physical attributes. With studies from a selection of geotourist areas in Poland, Japan, Turkey, Brazil, Albania, California, Mexico, Peru, and other places, the volume explores urban geotourism, mining heritage, geomorphological landforms, geoheritage (based on cultural and historical interest), roadside geology of the U.S., community engagement and volunteer management programs, and much more. There is even a chapter on space and celestial geotourism. The volume encourages academics, practitioners, and students in the fields of tourism, geology, geography, and also environmental and conservation science to learn more about the geopark movement and this arising new discipline. Key features: provides guidance for all aspects of geotourism as it relates to the establishment and effective management of geoparks, offers specific information on the geo-conservation and effective management of geotourism in geoparks, identifies significant geological and mining heritage areas that could be formally reserved as national geoparks or geosites by nations, provides a model and schematic mechanism for integrating geodiversity into all relevant geotourism activities and also to geoheritage stakeholders, such as UNESCO, the mining industry, and others."--
