Geotourism and Lake Tahoe Real Estate
What is Geotourism?
According to National Geographic, Geotourism is “tourism that sustains or enhances the geographical character of a place—its environment, culture, aesthetics, heritage, and the well-being of its residents.”
Geotourism, is a form of “sustainable travel”, which entails cultural tourism, ecotourism, agritourism, culinary tourism, and others on a growing list of niche tourism segments.
Moving beyond the definitions, the why should we care about Geotourism? There are two main reasons:
-
Geotourism attracts a different kind of tourist: someone who stays longer, spends more money, likes to patronize the “local” places and is more interesting in leaving a positive impact. Geotourists are often interested in local culture, wildlife, outdoor activities, museums, volunteering (a.k.a. “voluntourism”), local entertainment and history.
-
There is a geotourism project underway in the Sierra Nevada region RIGHT NOW! In fact, now is the time to nominate Geotourism assets in the “Tahoe-Emigrant Corridor” phase of the project. Yes, you guessed it: this area includes Lake Tahoe, the “jewel of the Sierra” according to Mark Twain. “Geotourism assets” are anything authentic, distinctive and sustainable about a destination, and may include trails, historic landmarks, parks, geological features, green businesses, cultural assets, events, stories or even living people.

What’s all of this have to do with real estate in South Lake Tahoe? Well, it’s no secret that absolutely everything can be factored into what makes a community a great place to live, and can also influence the value of a home or property. The Sierra Nevada Geotourism project aims to identify, preserve, and promote the region’s distinctive and sustainable assets. This helps create more sustainable programs where we live, attracts people who will leave our home a better place when they leave (and want to visit again) and, in essence, makes Lake Tahoe a better place to live…or buy property!

Early Summer Water Activities in Lake Tahoe
So Much to Do in South Lake Tahoe
Summer has finally arrived in South Lake Tahoe with warm temps and lots of flowing water. Now is the time to get out the rafts and kayaks and enjoy the melting snow pack. There are so many options when it comes to fun in the water that it can be hard to chose!
Spending the day one of the region’s various rivers – like the Truckee River, Tahoe’s only outlet, the Upper Truckee (aka the Little Truckee), Lake Tahoe’s main tributary, the American River (flowing with lots of great whitewater for kayakers right now) or Lake Tahoe, and enjoying the scenery is one of the most peaceful ways to enjoy the day. Take your raft and plop it in the Upper Truckee River and float your way through gorgeous mountain meadows to the lake - or rent a canoe and paddle along the shores of beautiful Lake Tahoe taking in the scenery and magnificent architecture of the many lakefront real estate properties.
