摘要:Information and communication technologies (ICT) and geospatial technologies (GT) give support to manage protected areas, like national parks, while enhancing the visitors’ experience. This study identifies some crucial tools employed to promote a sustainable development of tourism activities in pioneers’ national parks. A literature review and a website analysis of five parks (Yellowstone National Park, Royal National Park, Banff National Park, Tongariro National Park, and Kruger National Park), recognized as world tourism destinations, were conducted. Those parks’ websites have been mapped, being drawn a final comparison with the Itatiaia National Park website, in Brazil. As core results, the five parks present a qualified content, such as maps in high-resolution, warning messages in real time based on GT, and virtual tours. In turn, the Itatiaia National Park website is just a consultation portal, and it needs to be improved to subsidize the tourist experience.
