Thus it promotes the: 1. Conservation of geodiversity 2. Understanding of earth sciences 3. Experiences of geosites Geotourism May Occur in Both Natural and Developed Environments Geotourism is more Tourism then Geology Natural Environments Developed Environments Natural Landscapes No / Few facilities Limited / Difficult Access Modified Landscapes Some / Many facilities Widespread / Easy Access Piton de la Furnace, Reunion Island Geoproducts Mt Kinabalu WHA, Sabah, Malaysia Using Malaysia as an example, geotourism occurs: In a World Heritage Area at Mt Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo At a Roadside Cutting at Miri, Sarawak In the Langkawi Geopark, South east Asia s first Visitor Centre Sign
