Abstract

The number of national parks and geoparks in the world is constantly increasing. UNESCO plays a significant role in protecting the world's natural and cultural heritage, maintaining lists in order to ensure better protection of important intangible heritage around the world. Starting from here, the main goal of the paper is a presentation, that is, a tourist-geographic overview of all national parks and geoparks in the world, viewed by continents and countries. From a tourism perspective, partial data has been presented, only for the parks that have data on the number of visitors - tourists in the parks. The paper also presents separate data on parks in the countries of the Balkan Peninsula. Finally, the conclusion recommends that the competent institutions in national parks and geoparks record tourist visits. Visitor records will generally have an impact on enriching the tourist promotion of the parks.
