In recent years, the interest of society in the geoenvironment is constantly increasing. Concepts such as “geosites”, “geoparks”, and “geodiversity” are linked to new local economic and cultural growth of the areas. Significant geosites are recognized worldwide through the activity of geoparks and benefit from the exchange of information, skills, experience and staff between geoparks. Geotourism is a form of tourism that allows the discovery of the geological peculiarities of the visited territories, combined with other natural and human resources. Geo-education is at the core of the interest and operation of geoparks, which are considered as ideal destinations for educational activities.
