How to propose introducing tourists to Geocaching?

[rootie]

Some suggestions on how we can create the opportunity for tourist who aren't geocachers to be introduced to the activity in a way that doesn't voilate the code of cachers.

 

Using posted caches, tourist may take swag and not replace it, even when we would plainly state 'The Rules' (don't move the cache, practice good outdoor ethics, head back to the website and log it).

 

I could use your geosense on this. Please chime in.

Why do you want to?

Reading your post, I had more questions than answers....

 

Do you have regular contact with visitors and are wanting a way to suggest this to them? Or are you a cache hider looking to create cache's that might draw visitors into the game?

 

My first thought was to organize an outing with someone who knows how to use the equipment and how to do it. Teach by showing. That way you can introduce the etiquette as well as the procedures. *shrug*
