Tahoe Expo - A Benefit for the Lake with Geotourism Activities
Sand Harbor State Park,
Phone: (775) 832-1616,
On Sept.10, embrace Lake Tahoe with activities that connect you to the area’s magic while helping launch a new environmentally friendly economy for the Tahoe area. The daylong event hosted around the lake and at Sand Harbor on the lake’s east side will showcase geotourism; a trend in travel that that sustains or enhances the geographical character of a place — its environment, culture, aesthetics, heritage and the well-being of its residents. Geotourism helps travelers to tread lightly and enjoy a locale’s sense of place. The non-profit group Sustainable Tahoe is inviting the community to showcase Tahoe’s geotourism assets, which include a variety of activities that share a tourism experience like never before. Step into your hiking boots and experience wildlife like you’ve never experienced before, recreational activities that leave no trace, and 3-D movies that take you to the bottom of the Lake, your National Treasure. All activities are accessible via the Tahoe Basin’s public transit system, fulfilling another geotourism goal of reducing auto traffic. These “action attractions” provide visitors and locals alike the opportunity to embrace the natural amenities in the area while also sustaining them. The activities will be located around the lake and at the Sand Harbor, where a Tahoe Expo 2012 Kick-off party includes a solar-powered stage, eco-demonstrations, entertainment, local food, brew, music, games, a trashion-fashion show, kayaking and SUP, plus a signature participatory drum circle commemorating water that will resonate throughout the Basin. “Geotourism offers the Lake Tahoe economy the advantage of increasing the number of visitors to the lake, especially during the slower spring and fall seasons, by focusing on high-touch and low-impact ways to experience local attractions and activities,” explained Jacquie Chandler, Executive Director of Sustainable Tahoe, the non-profit group organizing the Tahoe Expo Kick-off. |
