Abstract：In order to investigate the distribution of tourism geological resources in Shandong Province, Department of Land and Resources of Shandong Province carried out the remote sensing investigation and evaluation of tourism geological resources in Shandong Province from 2012 to 2017. Based on 3D visualization remote sensing image and visual interpretation, with existing geological data and field surveys, the distribution of tourism geological resources in the whole province was obtained, and the database and three-dimensional geographic information system were established. A number of tourism geological resources with development potentical were delineated after comprehensive evaluation. The authors have overviewed and forecast the main tourism geological resources with development potential. Based on the three-dimensional visualization remote sensing images and existing geological data, the tourism geological resources in Shandong Province were outlined. Three provincial geoparks with upgrading potential were selected, including Wulianshan-Jiuxianshan, Yishan and Yishan. Laoshan in Qingdao and Dazhushan-Lingshan in Huangdao district were considered to have the potential to become the national geoparks. Qixingtai in Jinan, Jiulongshan in Laiwu, Yintaishan in Zouping and other geological relics were suggested to apply for provincial geoparks. This project can not only further expand the application range of remote sensing technology, but also provide a scientific basis for improving the geopark level, discovering new geoparks and establishing formulation plans for protection and development.
