Geotourism

Geological sustainable tourism aims to conserve and promote a place as a geosite, such as the Iguazu Falls in South America

Geotourism is tourism associated with geological attractions and destinations.[1] Geotourism (tourism with a geological base) deals with the abiotic natural and built environments.[2] Geotourism was first defined in England by Thomas Alfred Hose in 1995.[3]
