This paper aims to identify the role of resources (created and endowed) on increasing the demand of geotourism sites in Egypt, in particular, Petrified Forest Protectorate. A single case study was applied in this research to reach the research objectives. This research is based on a quantitative approach to obtain adequate information for achieving the research aim, the questionnaire was used for data collections. A convenience sample technique was chosen in this research. The total number of distributed questionnaires was 250 copies. The final returned questionnaires were 190 copies with 76% response rate. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS, version 25) program was used for analysing data. The results revealed that there no demand for visiting Petrified Forest Protectorate. Also, it has attractions such as fossilized trees that help it to consider as a geotourism site. The results indicated that Petrified Forest Protectorate is characterized by unique diversity of geological and geomorphological features, Petrified Forest Protectorate has an interest to scientists and researchers, and it has an aesthetic value that may attract tourists. The results found the transportation facilities and accessibility into the Petrified Forest Protectorate is an essay, but it is due to private transportation. It showed that there is no pamphlet and brochures provided to the visitors and there is no recreational activity in the Petrified Forest Area. The results showed that there is no medical service or ambulance point within or near the Petrified Forest Protectorate. This research has a number of limitations were, firstly, this research focused on one case study of Petrified Forest Protectorate. Secondly, the literature showed there had been a clear lack of prior research studies on geotourism site in Egypt. Future research should address more geosites in Egypt to identify the resources of geotourism in these sites.

“…Beyond the analysis of adaptation measures, other studies analyzed radical adaptation measures such as totally transforming the ski activity into another one (e.g., [29]), while others (e.g., Kaján et al [30]) focused on the costs of adaptation measures on nature-based winter tourism. Mulec and Wise [31] focused on sustainable tourism opportunities respective of local conditions and communities. More focused on real adaptation programs; the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA) in the United States launched a program in 2000 called "Sustainable Slopes" to adapt to and mitigate climate change.…”

Mountain ecosystems are considered to be vulnerable to climate change, with potential detrimental effects including the reduction of the snow seasons, the gradual retreat of glaciers, and changes in water storage and availability. One vulnerable sector to climate change is winter tourism, with some resorts likely to experience a significant reduction in the length of the skiing seasons and snow recreation areas throughout this century. This study assessed the vulnerability of 31 Spanish alpine ski resorts to climate change and evaluated the potential socio-economic and environmental implications of several adaptation measures. Results show that lower-altitude areas such as the Cantabrian Mountains and the Iberian System could be more vulnerable to climate change than higher-altitude areas of the Catalan Pyrenees or the Penibaetic System. Adaptation initiatives may include, inter alia, the production of artificial snow, the protection and conservation of the snow coverage area, and the diversification of recreation activities offered during the whole year. The study concludes that the design and implementation of adaptation strategies have to be adequate to the level of vulnerability associated with each resort as well as minimize their potential socio-economic and environmental costs.
