“…A geopark would typically be a nationally protected area covering a number of geological heritage sites of particular importance, rarity or aesthetic appeal and achieves its goals through conservation, education and sustainable development of geological heritage through geotourism (Dowling & Newsome, 2010). A SWAT analysis undertaken after field studies of several geologically important sites in the Kachchh Basin (western India) offered potentially important factors of geopark development and demonstrated how educational institutions in such areas could play an important role in convincing local authorities and architects (Bhosale et al, 2021;.…”

Phetchabun National Geopark comprises varied geosites; one of the fluvial bedrock landforms distinguished here is Loei Dun. This shows many potholes in Mesozoic sandstone of the Nam Phong Formation (Khorat Group). A genetic study of the occurrence of the Loei Dun potholes lends it a higher geoheritage value. For the present study we did fieldwork and carried out petrographical and geotechnical analyses so as to classify and characterise the potholes and consider geotourism potentials. Petrographically, the bedrock sandstone is a lithic arenite which consists of 82-96 percent very fine to coarse, well-sorted subangular sand with low sphericity and calcite cementation. Our geotechnical analysis of the bedrock sandstone suggests that pothole occurrence may be linked to low rock strength and slake durability index with high rock absorption and porosity at Loei Dun. Field studies confirmed the impact of other factors such as joints/faults, fluvial conditions and biological weathering. There are five types of pothole, viz., simple ones, potholes with external furrows, compound potholes, breached potholes and lateral ones. The present study adds educational value to the Loei Dun geosite at Phetchabun Geoparks and cultural and economic aspects can be further strengthened through the development of geotourism in the area.

“…He then analysed the results and experiences of these publications on tourism research and the best of these experiences in order to select the useful ones, provide measures for tourists' preferences, and suggest suitable heritage and cultural tourism alternatives while determining the abilit. The researcher used an independent methodology to study and analyse these experiences.According to a recent study by Bhosale et al (2021), many geological discoveries have been made in western India, more specifically in the Kachchh Rift Basin. This basin is regarded as a significant location for geologists because it allows them to comprehend the typical geological changes through a number of sedimentary sequences of an era.…”

Heritage and culture tourism is very cruicial to the economic development of a country. Thus, it is essential that native people should have knowledge about heritage and culture so that they able to spread the knowledge by taking advantage of the media channel. The current study assessed the willingness of the UAE residents on the heritage and culture tourism of UAE. hence, this paper presents a quantitative study to assess the willingness of UAE residents to involve in heritage and culture tourism of their country. A questionnaire survey was conducted to gauge 11 questions related to heritage and culture tourism from the participants in terms of their level of agreement using 5-points Likert scale. A total of 558 questionnaire samples were distributed however 501 completed questionnaire forms were collected and analysed. The analysis found that majority of the respondents has basic information regarding heritrage and tourism of the UAE. They are interested and willing to know more about the heritage and culture of the UAE. A significant number of respondents mentioned that they wish to visit UAE heritage with their family. It was also pointed out by the respondents that they have not experience all types of tourism to heritage locations in UAE. The findings from this study emphasis the need of promoting more about the heritage eventhough the media has playing very important role in distributing awareness and knowledge regarding heritage and tourism of the UAE.

“…The Mesozoic package comprises Late Triassic (Rhaetic) continental, Middle to Late Jurassic marine, and Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous fluvio-deltaic sediments (Biswas 2016a;Fürsich et al 2004). The fossiliferous Mesozoic sediments were deposited over the Neoproterozoic Nepheline syenitic basement which is exposed in the Meruda Takkar and Nagar Parkar Complex (Biswas and Deshpande 1968;Thakkar et al 2020b;Bhosale et al 2021). Mineral chemical data of ilmenites and garnets indicated the input from metabasic source rocks for the Jurassic Rocks of the Kutch Basin (Chaudhuri et al 2018).…”
