Preserving these valuable natural resources of the area, especially the unique geological phenomenon, which is the result of millions of year changes in the Earth, demands substantial regional and international programs and initiatives. In order to achieve the above-mentioned goals, this article attempts to introduce some fascinating geotourist features of Alashtar (Lorestan), and show the capability and potentiality of the region to be registered as Geo-park in UNESCO. Due to the high number of tourists in Lorestan province and some of its world-renowned historical monuments, introducing some of this area as geopark and registering them in UNESCO, along with the valuable ancient artifacts, can attract more tourists to the region.
