Abstract
This article is designed to defend the idea that the Congo and other similar countries must imperatively redefine tourism for a new tourist trend in order to promote local, regional / state and international development. This article is then a collection of proposals (solutions) which are essential in Congo for a new paradigm of tourism. Geological training and associative experience as well as professional culture oriented, I suggest to the Congo to redefine Congolese tourism by creating a Geopark named “Loango" which will take into account the enhancement, preservation, promotion of heritage natural, biological/geological, and cultural for a real adequate, effective and responsible tourist development.
Keywords: Natural heritage, biological and geological heritage; sightseeing; geopark; geodiversity; geotourism; Loango; Congo.
