Launch of the Geotourism map-guide / National Geographic Society
In 2007, in partnership with Tourism Montreal, the World Centre of Excellence for Destinations and the City of Montreal, Heritage Montreal signed the National Geographic Society’s Geotourism Charter, making Montreal the first city in the world to become an urban Geotourism destination.
On June 15th, the first Geotourism Map-Guide of a great metropolis was launched at Montreal’s City Hall, a world premiere that was made possible thanks to the collaboration between the National Geographic Society and many local partners, including all the Charter’s signatories, les Amis de la Montagne as well as the Minister of Culture, Communications and the Status of Women.
Geotourism aims to sustain and enhance the geographical character of a destination - its environment, culture, aesthetics, heritage and the well being of its residents. To consult the electronic version of the map, follow our link or visit www.montrealgeo.com.
