Putting Eunice on the geo-tourism map

The city of Eunice has been selected as part of the National Geographic U.S. Gulf States Geotourism MapGuide Project.
Lieutenant Governor Jay Dardenne and Jim Dion of the National Geographic Society have selected the city of Eunice to become part of the Geotourism Mapguides and websites.
The National Geographic Society has worked with the community-based alliances to develop similar Goetourism MapGuides and websites in other regions around the world.
The U.S. Gulf States Geotourism website and new mobile Geotourism MapGuide App will promote Louisiana to visitors interested in authentic cultural experiences in our state.
They will also celebrate the U.S. Gulf States’ abundant scenic, cultural attributes from the unique information on the great experiences we have in Louisiana.
Geotourism is defined as tourism that sustains or enhances the geographical character of a place — its environment, culture, aesthetics, heritage, and the well-being of its residents.
Geotourism incorporates the concept of sustainable tourism — that destinations should remain unspoiled for future generations — while allowing for ways to protect a place’s character. Geotourism also takes a principle from its ecotourism cousin,—that tourism revenue should promote conservation—and extends it to culture and history as well, that is, all distinctive assets of a place
