Abstract

The Teide National Park (TNP) on Tenerife island, receives more than 3 million visitors per year attracted by the landscape diversity of a subtropical high mountain that is a Unesco World Heritage Site. The aim of this work is to select and evaluate geomorphosites with a volcano tourism interest diversify the tourist offer within culthe TNP and on the island. The methodology used is based on indentifying and selecting the most representative, best conserved and more accesible sites, and evaluating their scientific, added and use and management values. The ten geomorphosites selected are the most representative of the diversity of the natural and cultural heritage of TNP, which are consistent with the geographical approach of geotourism, hosting almost all of the volcano tourism attractions. In general, the scientific values (0.62) from all the geomorphosites studied are above the added values (0.44), which seems to be in accordance with protection and conservation of the national park.
