GEORGIA STATE PARK GEOTOUR

  • Originally a Geo-Challenge

– Over 18000 logs in 60 caches (2,5 years in operation) – Families that are environmentally conscious – Organizing a MEGA event every year (day or more of planned activities) – 1 volunteer/cache

  • Turned into GeoTour 9/2012

– To get more overnight visits – To get more recognition outside Georgia – Costs $$$/year (thousands), Groundspeak is the organiztion behind Geocaching.com

GEOCACHING

  • Why Geocaching?

– To get experience driven activities – A tool for visitor ”surveilance”, a tool for research activities (to generate data) – A tool to crete events (f.ex. scavenger hunts, puzzles, etc. like Andreas mentioned in his presentation) – Recognition of the area to the families and to the youths – A tool for the ECR Manager to promote the route and to guide the visitors

WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO

  • 1st phase

– To collect the needs, to analyze the threads – To create the user stories how the possibilities could be used (different POVs) – To create a Geocaching pilot with one ECR (possibly a GeoTour) – To collect qualitative and quantitative data as a base for further development

  • 2nd phase

– To create a process and platform to be offered to the ECRs, the tools that will help and not to make thinks more difficult (Penelope said that is already to be created…right?)
