Geotourism is tourism that does no harm
Problem: Lake Tahoe is a nature-based destination struggling to survive under the impacts of travelers. The Lake is a National Treasure but unlike a National Park, has no entry gate and is surrounded by public and private hosts with (sometimes) conflicting agendas. However, most agree the clarity and health of the Lake is key to long term survival and prosperity.
Solution: Geotourism, where visitors help sustain and enhance the unique assets by how they are welcomed and guided to experience the beauty they came to explore.

GEOTOURISM PRESENTATIONS and RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL PROGRAMS
- Understanding Geotourism and how travelers will pay to protect the destination
- Carrying Capacity: the environmental thresholds that sustain the habitat supported by indigenous knowing
- 12 Geotourism Principles and TriNomic's (tm-property of Sheri Woodsgreen) to create hosting and menu protocols that inspire stewardship
- Connect to Care presentation for 2022 FoodTrex Conference
The presentation and group brainstorming session broke open our conventional ways of thinking so that we were able to see new paradigms, see new possibilities and create a Geotourism model based on one of the unique features in the area. It was fascinating watching the room become energized and transformed by the excitement of this new way of seeing our community’s inherent assets, seeing the need for collaboration using the TriNomics(tm) model and presenting it in a way that benefited all. We gained a new understanding and were empowered with new insights to have the ability to integrate Geotourism into our unique region of natural features and history.
I would highly recommend Sustainable Tahoe to work with your group to present and develop a working model of Geotourism, enabling the promotion, education and stewardship of the unique features of your area while increasing revenue directly and indirectly to your local community.
