Description
Summary:The geological and geomorphological sites in the Sefrou region of Morocco represent key assets for sustainable mountain tourism, given their diversity and richness in landscape natural phenomena. These sites constitute a significant attraction for tourists interested in nature and adventure, contributing to the development of the local economy and the creation of new job opportunities. Scientific studies confirm the effectiveness of utilizing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in planning and developing mountain tourism, specifically through the creation of precise tourist maps that facilitate the exploration of these sites for visitors. This study has led to the identification of 32 distinct geological and geomorphological sites in the Sefrou region and the design of three primary mountain tourism trails. These trails allow visitors to enjoy stunning natural landscapes and discover rock formations, caves, and valleys, in addition to learning about the geological history of the region. This study represents a significant step towards strengthening sustainable mountain tourism in the Sefrou region, by providing accurate and comprehensive information to tourists and highlighting the importance of preserving these unique natural sites for future generations
