Geomorphosite assessment for geotourism purposes [PDF]
Czech Journal of Tourism, 2013 Abstract The article briefly examines the relationship between geodiversity, geoheritage (represented by geosites and geomorphosites) and geotourism. It is obvious that geosites and geomorphosites represent a fundamental resource for geotourism. As geosites are defined as sites that present particular importance for the comprehension of the Earth ...
