GEOTORISM
Some destinations are more geological than others. In the United States, places like the Grand Canyon, or Carlsbad Caverns or Mammoth Cave are examples. Elsewhere in the world are many other geo-heritage sites. For example Mt St Helens in Washington State US, Iceland and Alaska’s Glaciers, The Himalayas, and Australia’s Ayers Rock. There are many more. Some people may not even realise that these places are geological wonders and this can be an educational point for many tourists. Many would be fascinated to learn about such wonders. Some people have never even seen a glacier or volcano therefore geological places can be a wonderful focus for tourism activities.
One of the wonderful things about geology is that wherever you go the Earth is and there is always a geological explanation for many kinds of land formations that may be of interest to people traveling or touring. The term geo-tourism is relatively new and is already finding interest in many parts of Europe.
Geological sites are the meeting places of elements recording the geological history of a region. They are examples of an everlasting evolution of life on Earth, such as volcanoes, caves, gorges, fossilized areas, large geological rifts, ancient mines, geological formations or landscapes chiselled by natural forces throughout the geological ages. Such sites have a special scientific and aesthetic value and could become areas with significant tourist interest.
A good guide should appear calm, confident, and in control. Much will come from good preparation. Nevertheless, no matter how well-prepared a walk is, unexpected interruptions and questions always appear. As long as it looks and sound interesting it will be a success. People on guided walks want to learn something new and interesting so as long as they take away one new piece of information it is a success.
What are the features of a good guided walk?
- It starts and finishes on time
- It is safe
- Well-organised and well-publicised
- Clear message/purpose
- Tells you something you didn’t know
- It is interactive
- Audible, visible, understandable leader
- The leader is confident and friendly
- The leader used relevant props and talks about what you can see
- Takes account of the special needs of the audience.
Tour guides should develop an appropriate vocabulary for talking about features, and should use this vocabulary to educate the visitor. For instance, when talking about different kinds of habitats, the tour guide might need to explain the difference between an ecosystem, a biome and a habitat. They might also need to explain animal and plant activity by using words such as: competition, predator, cooperation, population. Not all visitors will know what these words mean, especially if English is not their first language.
