Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not all World Heritage Sites have people living within or close by their boundaries, but many do. The designation of World Heritage status brings a new dimension to the functioning of local communities and particularly through tourism. Too many tourists accentuated by the World Heritage label, or in some cases not enough tourists, despite anticipation of increased numbers, can act to disrupt and disturb relations within a community and between communities. Either way, tourism can be seen as a form of activity that can generate interest and concern as it is played out within World Heritage Sites. But the relationships that World Heritage Sites and their consequent tourism share with communities are not just a function of the number of tourists. The relationships are complex and ever changing as the communities themselves change and are built upon long-standing and wider contextual factors that stretch beyond tourism. This volume, drawing upon a wide range of international cases relating to some 33 World Heritage Sites, reveals the multiple dimensions of the relations that exist between the sites and local communities. The designation of the sites can create, obscure and heighten the power relations between different parts of a community, between different communities and between the tourism and the heritage sector. Increasingly, the management of World Heritage is not only about the management of buildings and landscapes but about managing the communities that live and work in or near them.
Download or read book World Heritage Tourism and Identity written by Laurent Bourdeau and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The remarkable success of the 1972 UNESCO Convention Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage is borne out by the fact that nearly 1,000 properties have now been designated as possessing Outstanding Universal Value and recognition given to the imperative for their protection. However, the remarkable success of the Convention is not without its challenges and a key issue for many Sites relates to the touristic legacies of inscription. For many sites inscription on the World Heritage List acts as a promotional device and the management challenge is one of protection, conservation and dealing with increased numbers of tourists. For other sites, designation has not brought anticipated expansion in tourist numbers and associated investments. What is clear is that tourism is now a central concern to the wide array of stakeholders involved with World Heritage Sites.

Download or read book World Heritage and Tourism written by Bailey Ashton Adie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-16 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive discussion of the phenomenon of World Heritage tourism through a critical, global perspective that encompasses both supply and demand. Individual chapters critically engage with four main topics crucial to this subject area. A chapter on visitors defines the World Heritage tourist segment, highlighting on-site behavior and visitor needs. Building on this, a marketing chapter questions the functionality of the World Heritage brand as a tourist attractor and instead argues that tourist growth is due to effective marketing following World Heritage inscription. The third chapter presents a holistic management framework centred on planning, place, and people, while the concluding chapter situates World Heritage tourism in a global context, discussing threats such as climate change. International case studies from a wide variety of both natural and cultural sites provide a representative discussion of the topic across varying geographical, political, and cultural contexts. This will be of great interest to upper-level students, researchers, and academics in the fields of tourism, heritage studies, and geography, as well as practitioners in these fields who wish to better understand the crucial interplay of these areas.

This book was released on 2014-03-05T00:00:00-05:00 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comment penser l’association entre patrimoine mondial, développement et tourisme ? Dans un contexte concurrentiel, le prestige qu’entraîne l’inscription d’un site sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO (Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’éducation, la science et la culture) constitue un avantage compétitif. Toutefois, le tourisme peut être plus qu’un simple étendard pour attirer davantage de visiteurs, il peut être au service du développement des communautés. C’est à ce nouveau paradigme de tourisme durable, devenu l’un des axes stratégiques de l’UNESCO, que s’intéressent les auteurs de cet ouvrage. Ils traitent de la diversification des enjeux du patrimoine mondial, de la pluralisation des motifs de l’inscription à la Liste et des indicateurs de durabilité sociale, mais aussi des relations entre les espaces touristiques et les sites patrimoniaux. Ils exposent également les modalités de la participation communautaire au tourisme durable, en adoptant une conception ouverte des communautés, c’est-à-dire en considérant les visions plurielles et divergentes. Il ne s’agit plus seulement d’évaluer les incidences du tourisme sur le patrimoine, positives ou négatives, mais bien de caractériser un développement local, en examinant ses acteurs, ses bénéficiaires et les recompositions territoriales auxquelles il donne lieu.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage, qui fait suite au volume six de la même série, sur le thème "Patrimoine culturel et tourisme alternatif" s'inscrit dans la continuité de la réflexion précédemment initiée, aux plans à la fois matériel, en appréhendant les composantes du patrimoine naturel au-delà du seul patrimoine culturel, et spatial, en accueillant les contributions originales et inédites d'auteurs d'Amérique latine (Mexique), du Maghreb (Maroc), du Proche-Orient (Jordanie), d'Asie (Malaisie) et d'Océanie (Polynésie française). Il s'agit en l'occurrence, à travers des regards croisés et souvent complémentaires, d'approfondir et de diversifier les recherches et le premier panel d'études fondées sur la dynamique et la prospective du double constat des impacts socio-économiques du tourisme sur les composantes patrimoniales de l'environnement, et, en sens inverse, de l'attrait déterminant des ressources d'un patrimoine dûment valorisé sur la demande et l'offre touristiques. Les études présentées procèdent d'une démarche pluridisciplinaire, qui explore les différents volets politique, économique, juridique, socio-culturel, de la protection, de la conservation et de la valorisation de ressources patrimoniales plus ou moins aisément (ré)appropriées par les populations et/ou les communautés locales, face à l'emprise du droit et des politiques étatiques, dans le cadre d'une gestion participative et en partie intégrée répondant aux exigences complémentaires et multiples d'un développement, touristique en particulier, viable et durable. Entre questionnements et réponses, ce second volet d'inventaire entend apporter une contribution constructive et opérationnelle à l'exploration de la relation dialectique déterminante entre tourisme et patrimoine.
