The Geotourism theme is located at https://www.aesconvention.com.au/sessions/#1583448516827-72d2e34c-b9f7 and reads,
The Geological Society of Australia has defined geotourism as ‘tourism which focuses on an area’s geology and landscape as the basis for providing visitor engagement, learning and enjoyment’. Geotourism adds considerable content value to traditional nature-based tourism as well as cultural tourism, thus completing the holistic embrace of ‘A’ (abiotic – landscape and geology) plus ‘B’ (biotic – flora and fauna) plus ‘C’ (culture, both indigenous and post European settlement) aspects. The Australian Geoscience Council is currently working on a draft national geotourism strategy, and this session invites presentations on all aspects of geotourism, including the development and function of geosites, geotrails and geoparks around Australia, with particular reference to the following strategic themes.
