The Yachana Foundation, which works in the Amazon region of Ecuador, successfully achieves sustainable development through tourism and education. Geotourism, a term coined by the National Geographic, is tourism that sustains or enhances the geographical character of a place - its environment, culture, aesthetics, heritage, and the well-being of its residents. This is the commitment of the Foundation through the award winning Yachana Lodge. The Lodge, now part of the Foundation, besides being an incredible place for visitors to see and learn about the Amazon, is also a teaching facility for the Yachana Technical High School and an income generator to help support the school. Education, sustainable tourism and protection of the rainforest are all subjects that Douglas McMeekin will bring to his presentation.

Rios Tropicales - Geotourism Leader in Costa Rica - http://www.riostropicales.com.
Our company has been committed to sustainable business practices and ecotourism since inception. Our primary goal is to ensure that the rivers and natural resources of Costa Rica are available for future generations, and we promote this both through educating guests as well as educating the local community. More than 95% of our staff are local members of the community like the Obando family that manages our Rainforest Lodge, and our guides, some of whom are indigenous Cabecar Indians, along with the now grown Obando children, who lead hikes into their homeland wilderness areas. Rios Tropicales has carefully made use of pre-existing hunting and Indian trails that traverse the reserve for hiking and travel rather than creating new and less sustainable pathways. Additionally, in developing and improving the Lodge, no forests were cleared, and we have no plans to clear trees in any future development.
We recognize that any disruption of this interrelated eco-system will have material negative effects on the diverse wildlife population, local indigenous Indian and native communities and the regenerative health of the rainforest. We adhere to Leave No Trace practices and are dedicated to green building, renewable energy sources, and recycling and composting practices. This has allowed us to introduce thousands of new guests each year to the importance of protecting this dynamic eco-system for future generations of wildlife and people.

Geotourism is "best practice" tourism that sustains, or even enhances, the geographical character of a place, such as its culture, environment, heritage, and the well-being of its residents.
The concept was introduced publicly in a 2002 report by the Travel Industry Association of America (as of 2009 this organization adapted name to U.S. Travel Association) and National Geographic Traveler magazine. National Geographic senior editor Jonathan B. Tourtellot and his wife, Sally Bensusen, coined the term in 1997 in response to requests for a term and concept more encompassing than ecotourism and sustainable tourism.
Like ecotourism, geotourism promotes a virtuous circle whereby tourism revenues provide a local incentive to protect what tourists are coming to see, but extends the principle beyond nature and ecology to incorporate all characteristics that contribute to sense of place, such as historic structures, living and traditional culture, landscapes, cuisine, arts and artisanry, as well as local flora and fauna. Geotourism incorporates sustainability principles, but in addition to the do-no-harm ethic, geotourism focuses on the place as a whole. The idea of enhancement allows for development based on character of place, rather than standardized international branding, and generic architecture, food, and so on.

As the economy, technology, and priorities shift, career fields expand and change. In response, Missouri State University constantly adapts its programming to better equip its students to fulfill these changing needs. One excellent example of this is through the introduction of the geotourism degree. Responding to tourism's escalating impact on the world's economy, culture and environment, Missouri State University developed a new bachelor's degree in geotourism in the fall of 2010. The degree is the only one of its kind in the U.S. Working with information from the National Geographic Center for Sustainable Destinations, the program incorporates all elements of geotourism. We are pleased to honor three faculty members who were instrumental in developing the program. Linnea Iantria, Jacob Sowers, and Dimitri Ioannides, who is unable to be here this evening. And also on the court to congratulate them is Missouri State Associate Provost Dr. John Catau. Ladies and gentlemen, please acknowledge the work of this team in developing this very unique program.

Rios Tropicales - Geotourism Leader in Costa Rica - http://www.riostropicales.com.
Our company has been committed to sustainable business practices and ecotourism since inception. Our primary goal is to ensure that the rivers and natural resources of Costa Rica are available for future generations, and we promote this both through educating guests as well as educating the local community. More than 95% of our staff are local members of the community like the Obando family that manages our Rainforest Lodge, and our guides, some of whom are indigenous Cabecar Indians, along with the now grown Obando children, who lead hikes into their homeland wilderness areas. Rios Tropicales has carefully made use of pre-existing hunting and Indian trails that traverse the reserve for hiking and travel rather than creating new and less sustainable pathways. Additionally, in developing and improving the Lodge, no forests were cleared, and we have no plans to clear trees in any future development.
We recognize that any disruption of this interrelated eco-system will have material negative effects on the diverse wildlife population, local indigenous Indian and native communities and the regenerative health of the rainforest. We adhere to Leave No Trace practices and are dedicated to green building, renewable energy sources, and recycling and composting practices. This has allowed us to introduce thousands of new guests each year to the importance of protecting this dynamic eco-system for future generations of wildlife and people.

As the economy, technology, and priorities shift, career fields expand and change. In response, Missouri State University constantly adapts its programming to better equip its students to fulfill these changing needs. One excellent example of this is through the introduction of the geotourism degree.
Responding to tourism's escalating impact on the world's economy, culture and environment, Missouri State University developed a new bachelor's degree in geotourism in the fall of 2010. The degree is the only one of its kind in the U.S.
Working with information from the National Geographic Center for Sustainable Destinations, the program incorporates all elements of geotourism. We are pleased to honor three faculty members who were instrumental in developing the program. Linnea Iantria, Jacob Sowers, and Dimitri Ioannides, who is unable to be here this evening. And also on the court to congratulate them is Missouri State Associate Provost Dr. John Catau. Ladies and gentlemen, please acknowledge the work of this team in developing this very unique program.

National Geographic unveils the "East Tennessee River Valley" Geotourism Mapguide—featuring our region in one of only 15 such projects in the world. Beginning now through August 8, 2011, the public is encouraged to go online to www.EastTNGeotourism.org and nominate destinations and events that include historic sites, parks, museums, restaurants, scenic byways, and wildlife areas that make our greater Chattanooga corridor to Knoxville and the Smoky Mountains such a great place to live, work, and play, as well as a world-class tourist destination.
City officials made an announcement with a press reception on Friday, June 24 at Outdoor Chattanooga with Mayor Ron Littlefield making the "first nomination" and remarks from National Geographic representative Jim Dion.
The event coincides with the City of Chattanooga Office of Sustainability's four-day conference with Citistates Group, a team of international journalists who provide in-depth coverage of regions around the world and best practices in ecology, economy, and culture moving forward in the 21st century.
The Office of Sustainability and the Department of Education, Arts & Culture (EAC) are collaborating on this project, which is grounded by a set of sustainable tourism principles, as part of a larger joint effort to educate and implement city-wide sustainability as outlined in the Chattanooga Climate Action Plan and STAR Community Index Goals—focusing on economic development, natural resources protection, social wellbeing, arts and culture.
After the nomination process closes in August, National Geographic will use those nominations to build the East Tennessee River Valley Geotourism online MapGuide. The site will be launched for a national and international audience later this fall, and MapGuides reside on National Geographic's online sight that averages 10 million viewers per month.
For more information about the City of Chattanooga Department of Education, Arts & Culture or the Chattanooga Southeast Tennessee Film Commission contact Melissa Turner (423) 425-7826 or turner_m@mail.chattanooga.gov.

On the occasion of the 3rd Global Geotourism Conference (30.10.11-01.11.11, Muscat) this special edition is focusing on the Geotourism aspects in Oman.
Experience the Arabian Jewel from "a Thousand and One Nights", with dreamlike landscapes and time honoured traditions charmingly interwoven with a contemporary lifestyle. Shaped by desert and ocean, the Sultanate has many natural and cultural treasures to discover. Just a step away from the well cared for modern city streets, the tantalising smell of incense will lead you into an exotic world of colour and bustling sound little changed in hundreds of years; where market stall vendors renowned for their friendliness and hospitality sell handcrafts and artworks.
The Sultanate of Oman is situated in the East of the Arabian Peninsula, bordering in the North-West the United Arabic Emirates, Saudi Arabia in the West, and Yemen in the South-West. The Gulf of Oman borders the country's Northern coastline, and to the North-East and East lays the Persian Gulf. Even though about half of the country is covered by desert, mountain chains and partly fertile coastal regions dominate large areas.
This promotional movie has been produced by Tamas Hodik and Manuel Pater on behalf of INTEWO | World Habitat Society GmbH, Germany, and Gulf Jewels Tours, Oman, in cooperation with the University of Applied Science Ostwestfalen-Lippe.
