This study evaluates the potential of the Gargano Promontory in Southern Italy to become a UNESCO Global Geopark, outlining an operational framework for the sustainable development of its geological heritage. Despite hosting exceptional geodiversity—including Mesozoic-Cenozoic carbonate platforms, karst features, and over 120 potential geosites—the region's geological value remains underutilized compared to its dominant seaside and religious tourism offerings.
