Part of the book series: Geoheritage, Geoparks and Geotourism ((GGAG))

Abstract

Volcanoes and tourists are like magnets—they either attract or repel each other, with a force strongly dependent on proximity. Some tourists (let’s call them Group A), when nearing a volcano, are drawn ever more strongly to its summit or crater. Other tourists (Group B) are repulsed, stepping back from the volcano.
