Summary
Lenggong Valley, Malaysia, holds significant potential as a geotourism and archaeotourism destination due to its diverse geological and archaeological heritage. A proposed geotouristic itinerary connects key geosites in the valley, highlighting their scientific, cultural, aesthetic, and recreational values. This itinerary aims to enhance conservation efforts while attracting visitors year-round by emphasizing the locations' accessibility, geological features, historical significance, and available facilities. It serves as an educational tool for various levels, including university courses, and can be followed by both experts and non-geologists with guidance from volunteers. The initiative seeks to foster sustainable geo-archaeotourism development, leveraging the valley's unique geodiversity.
