UNESCO cultural conventions and international treaties aim to protect the world\u2019s cultural and natural heritage, including ancient archaeological sites, historic monuments, museum collections, and oral traditions, among others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The agency has identified natural and cultural heritage sites around the world to prioritise their protection and preservation. These sites that reflect the history and identity of communities are under constant threat due to environmental and climate change, political unrest, economic instability, and even unchecked tourism development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The World Heritage List<\/a> raises awareness of the sites that need protection, and sets a roadmap for their conservation through the organisation&#8217;s management guidelines and reporting mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another programme of the agency, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.unesco.org\/creative-cities\/creative-cities-map\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN)<\/a> promotes cities that have defined creativity as a strategic component for sustainable urban development. Approximately 250 cities in the network position creativity and cultural industries at the core of their development and cooperate with each other to exchange information and advance common development goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Geotourist has placed sustainable tourism and culture at the heart of its platform. By telling the stories of communities within the context of their history, the platform promotes awareness, education, and preservation of architectural and natural heritage of destinations and sites. The technology platform has been recognised for its function in countering the adverse effects of tourism by leading policy think tanks, including <a href=\"https:\/\/geotourist.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/EuromonitorExcerptwlogo.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Euromonitor<\/a>, which cited Geotourist for its ability to counter overtourism in congested areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Geotourist, destinations can tell their stories through subject-matter experts, such as historians, architects, and academics, to promote their heritage while driving economic growth. The app allows visitors and culture aficionados experience sites either remotely, or in-person, without the adverse effects of unchecked tourism, such as crowds in tour buses, and encourages them to engage with the local community, its culture, and the local businesses to support the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its beginnings, Geotourist has invited those destinations and cultural organisations affiliated with UNESCO and its programmes, to tell their stories on its platform. Below is a selection of those sites with audio tours streaming on Geotourist:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/geotourist.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/arbeia_roman_fort.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/geotourist.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/arbeia_roman_fort.jpg\" alt=\"Arbeia Roman Fort\" class=\"wp-image-3360\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/geotourist.com\/tours\/4343\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Arbeia Roman Fort,<\/a> South Shields, England<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the UNESCO Frontiers of the Roman Empire World Heritage Site Arbeia South Shields&#8217; Roman Fort stands above the entrance to the River Tyne.
