21st Century immersive and collaborative travel economy
With gratitude and inspired by a 10,000 year Shared Vision of Stewardship from; Dr. Charles Goldman, Ben Rupert, John Muir, the
Wa She Shu people and the local ongoing legacy of Lake Tahoe's advocates: Heather Segale, Becky Bell, Madonna Dunbar, John Frederick, John Dayberry, Tom Wendell (RIP) and many more, have taught us to live in harmony with our native wildlife and preserve for future this incredible Lake and its Watershed for generations to come. These advocates inspire in us how we can welcome and guide our community and its visitors with Fun, Meaningful, Low Impact Adventures that sustain or enhance the destination while building Stewardship.

When Tahoe tourism promotes activities that sustain or enhance the 8 Worlds (Water, Air, Land, Plants, Wildlife, Culture, Heritage and Local Well Being), we will reduce the $MM's spent each year to ‘clean up’ after travelers and locals.
Geotourism activities are fun, meaningful and sometimes guided adventures that inspire stewardship behavior and contribute to Tahoe's Culture of Caring, reducing $$M's a year in federal, state and local funding required to clean up after current menu.
Sample of the types of (TriNomic hosted) adventures offered in all 4 Tahoe Expo's :Geotourism / destination stewardship showcase.
