• <strong>Montréal</strong> was the first city in the world to sign National Geographic Society’s Geotourism Charter. This<br />

important gesture emphasizes the city’s consistent commitment to sustainable tourism and destination<br />

stewardship. To further demonstrate that commitment, in June 2009, <strong>Tourisme</strong> <strong>Montréal</strong> and the City of<br />

<strong>Montréal</strong> produced the first geotourism MapGuide.<br />

• For tourists, geotourism represents a conscientious way to travel.<br />

• For residents, geotourism shows the pride they take in their city.<br />

• For organizations, geotourism is a way to manage resources responsibly.<br />
