Promoting Palaeontological Heritage of Mammoths in Serbia Through a Cross-Country Thematic Route

Preliminary Assessment of the Geological and Mining Heritage of the Golden Quadrilateral (Metaliferi Mountains, Romania) as a Potential Geotourism Destination

“…By presenting an inventory of the geological and mining heritage sites in the research area, and the qualitative assessment of the geosites included in the two proposed itineraries, this work is a step in the process of development of geotourism in Golden Quadrilateral. According to [105][106][107][108], such itineraries are meant to spread knowledge about geological history and heritage of the visited territories, and to promote geodiversity conservation.…”

Saline Soils: A Potentially Significant Geoheritage of the Vojvodina Region, Northern Serbia

“…In order to assess the six sites mentioned above, and evaluate their current state and tourism potential, we propose a novel approach for the assessment of saline soil sites. This new methodology has its roots in previous assessment models and studies, all mainly related to resources such as geoheritage [4,[38][39][40][41][42], spas and hot springs [43] and cultural heheritage [44][45][46][47][48], and their use for tourism. These methods have been succesfully applied numerous times in the assessment of various geosites [49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68], spas [43,[69][70][71], and sites of cultural heritage [44,47,48].…”

The majority of tourism related subindicators were derived from these existing models and been adapted in this study for saline soil assessment, while the subindicators Geomorphological attractiveness, Pedodiversity, Biodiversity, Endemic and relict plant species and Ambience were introduced by the authors of this paper, based on the opinion of experts.…”

Georoutes as a Basis for Territorial Development of the Pacific Coast of South America: a Case Study

“…According to Tabera et al ( 2017 ), georoutes are outreach tools that share information, promote conservation, and display geosites through the interaction between “visitors and earth phenomena”. Some routes of international interest are the geotrails in the Yanhuitlán Geopark (Mexico) (Palacio Prieto et al 2019 ), the “Trans-Pyrenean Geological Route” (France) (Venzal 2014 ), the “Palaeontological heritage of mammoths through a cross-country thematic route” (Serbia) (Antić et al 2021 ), and Demnate and High-Tessaout valley (Morocco) (Bouzekraoui et al 2018 ). The Mineral Routes and Sustainability Project (RUMYS, acronym in Spanish) promotes routes that disseminate the geological mining heritage and other, for example architectural, archaeological, and cultural sites in Iberoamerica (Mata-Perelló et al 2018 ).…”
