Summary
A comparative analysis of five renowned UNESCO World Heritage Sites—Yellowstone, Royal, Banff, Tongariro, and Kruger National Parks—reveals a robust integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) and geospatial technologies (GST) to promote sustainable tourism. These parks leverage high-resolution maps, real-time warning systems based on GST, and virtual tours to enhance visitor experiences while supporting conservation efforts. In contrast, the website for Brazil's Itatiaia National Park serves primarily as an informational portal, lacking advanced features that could significantly improve its role in sustainable tourism promotion.
