云禅火山地质公园是日本最早的世界地质公园之一。它是当地人民独特的文化和历史的源泉，他们既受益于云禅火山，也面临着灾难性的火山爆发。在本文中，我介绍了地质遗产如何通过地质旅游与地质公园的本地推广联系起来，以实现当地的可持续发展。2009年至2010年，地质公园共安排以当地人为主的地质游览68次。在讲解过程中，云禅火山地区地质公园推广处的工作人员和导游会为参加者讲解有关当地历史、文化和传统的地理和地质信息。参与者的问卷调查结果显示，超过70%的人对地质旅游感到满意，并认为他们重新发现了岛原半岛的地质遗产。然而，即使有了有趣的地理故事，也必须有人把它们传递给游客。此外，不能确定这些地理故事是否被游客广泛接受。因此，为了实现旅游业的可持续发展，必须做到两点：一是与观光和地球科学专家合作建设地质故事，二是推广优秀的导游，将地质故事传递给游客。
Unzen Volcanic Area Geopark was one of the first global geoparks in Japan. It is the source of the unique culture and history of local people who have both benefitted from Unzen volcano and faced disastrous volcanic eruptions. In this paper, I introduce examples of how a geoheritage connects with local promotions of the geopark through geotours to achieve sustainable local development. During 2009 and 2010, geotours mainly for local people were arranged 68 times in the geopark. During these geotours, members of Unzen Volcanic Area Geopark Promotion Office and tour guides told geostories, which related geographical and geological information associated with local history, culture, and traditions to the participants. The result of a questionnaire survey of participants showed that more than 70 percent were satisfied with the geotours and felt they had rediscovered the geoheritage of the Shimabara Peninsula. However, even if interesting geostories are constructed, someone must pass them on to visitors. Moreover, it is not uncertain whether these geostories are widely accepted by visitors. To achieve sustainable development of tourism, therefore, two things are necessary: first is the construction of geostories in cooperation with specialists in sightseeing and earth science, and second is the promotion of excellent guides who can pass on geostories to tourists.
