Sierra Nevada MapGuide
Geotourism is defined as tourism that sustains or enhances the geographic character of a place—its environment, culture, aesthetics, heritage, and the well-being of its residents.
The Sierra Nevada MapGuide will highlight the geotouristic natural, historic and cultural assets unique to the Sierra Nevada.
Sierra residents and visitors, community organizations, tourism stakeholders and local businesses are invited to nominate sites for potential inclusion in an interactive Web site and printed MapGuide. Unlike any other mapping project, a favorite local restaurant, farm, winery, hiking or biking trail, swimming hole, museum or artist gallery are samples of the type of nominations National Geographic and its project partners are seeking. The Web site will target a variety of growing travel niches—adventure and nature tourism, cultural heritage travel and agritourism—and allow for residents to select the one-of-a-kind places integral to a distinctive character of place.
Nominate today!
