Overview
Main Description
Heritage is a growing area of both tourism and study, with World Heritage Site designations increasing year-on-year. This book reviews the important interrelations between the industry, local communities and conservation work, bringing together the various opportunities and challenges for different destinations.
World Heritage status is a strong marketing brand, and proper heritage management and effective conservation are vital, but this tourism must also be developed and managed appropriately if it is to benefit a site. As many sites are located in residential areas, their interaction with the local community must also be carefully considered.
This book:
- Reviews new areas of development such as Historic Urban Landscapes, Intangible Cultural Heritage, Memory of the World and Global Geoparks.
- Includes global case studies to relate theory to practice.
- Covers a worldwide industry of over 1,000 cultural and natural heritage sites.
An important read for academics, researchers and students of heritage studies, cultural studies and tourism, this book is also a useful resource for professionals working in conservation, cultural and natural heritage management.
Readership
Suitable for academics, researchers and students of heritage studies, cultural studies and tourism, as well as professionals working in conservation, cultural and natural heritage management.
