Geotourism is Good for Florida Communities, Visitors and Businesses

August 12th, 2007
Geo·tour·ism (n): tourism that sustains or
enhances the geographical character of a place -
its environment, culture, aesthetics, heritage, and
the well-being of its residents.

By Kirby Collins

Geotourism sustains communities and allows them to keep their unique flavor and style. There’s less pressure to conform to national architectural trends that make every city look the same.

Geotourism gives visitors a chance to escape strip malls and the homogeneous feel they get from every other place they visit.

Geotourism is good business. Every place in Florida has its own character, our beaches all have different types of sand and our regions have distinctive looks. Business people can focus on their customer by being who they are, not who Mickey thinks they should be.
