Geotourism route planning plays an important role in geopark development. This study aims to identify geotourism attractions and design them as geotourism routes in one of the UNESCO Global Geoparks in Indonesia. This research was conducted from February to July 2021 with Belitong UNESCO Global Geopark as the study location. This qualitative study used primary data obtained through a desk study method to acquire more information and data regarding spatial information and geotourism development from a variety of policy documents. Data analyzed in this study consisted of content analysis, map analysis, and descriptive analysis. Geodiversity supported by biodiversity and cultural diversity in Belitong UNESCO Global Geopark has designed geotourism routes by the uniqueness of the region and local government policies. Two geotourism routes are proposed to assist the geoparks development. Geotourism routes contribute to the dispersal of tourists in supporting the realization of equitable distribution of the economic benefits of tourism and the socio-culture of the local community in Belitong UNESCO Global Geopark.
