Cultural heritage tourism

World heritage sites across the globe are adapting themselves to the homogenizing standards of tourism at the same time as trying to maintain, or even increase, their local particularity. While local and national tourism authorities and tour agencies package and sell so-called 'authentic' cultural landscapes or 'traditional' cultures, what counts as world heritage -be it material or intangible -and the way it is interpreted is increasingly defined and controlled supra-locally. This paper sketches the broad picture of world heritage tourism in the 21st century and illustrates the general trends with examples of on-going ethnographic research on world heritage sites. chapter 8 world heritage and tourism 275

Τι στρατηγικές ανάπτυξης του τοπικού τουριστικού τομέα μπορούμε να χρησιμοποιήσουμε αμεσότερα και με χαμηλότερο κόστος; Ποιο είναι εκείνο το προϊόν–υπηρεσία που μπορεί να προορίζεται για όλους επηρεάζοντας όμως τον καθένα ξεχωριστά; Πως η χρησιμότητα και η προσφορά υπηρεσιών του προϊόντος - υπηρεσίας αυτού, μπορεί να αξιολογηθεί ποσοτικά συμβάλλοντας στην τοπική και κρατική οικονομία; Γιατί να επιλέξουμε κάτι νέο για την ανάπτυξη της τοπικής τουριστικής αγοράς;

Mwanga District, in Kilimanjaro Region, as part of the eastern arc mountains, has a lot of potential as a tourist destination, especially the heritage and eco-tourism domain. The District, home to the popular North Pare Mountains, has a significant array of cultural and natural attractions, justifying a programme of development, conservation and promotion.

Cultural heritage can be a huge source of tourism as enables people to announce to the world what their past is, how they are living in the present and what their future lives will be. Apart from being a source of national identification, cultural heritage in recent times has become a source of economic survival for different people across the world. Cultural heritage enthusiasts who seek to explore and learn about cultural heritages outside their locality are willing to spend their fortunes to satisfy their tourism curiosity. Given the tourism potentials of cultural heritage in the modern world, this study explores the topic Harnessing Cultural Heritage for Tourism Development in Nigeria: A Study of the Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove and Festival. This study will examine the economic potentials of the Osun-Osogbo sacred grove and festival and the challenges confronting their survival and development.

Contribution of Handicraft exports is well acknowledged due to its valuable contribution to India in terms of foreign exchange earnings and employment potential. (6.77 million In 2006-07). The sector has been expanding and witnessing significant growth of 3% annually. This paper has attempted to explore the entrepreneurial possibilities in Handicrafts with specific reference to tourism destinations of Srikalahasthi, Venkatagiri, Madhavmala (3 destinations of Andhra Pradesh) known for tourism as well as for Handicrafts which has the status of Geographical indicators. Many tourists visiting these destinations spend a substantial amount of money on Kalamkari work (Sri Kalahasthi), Venkatgiri sarees (Venkatgiri) Woodcarving (Madhavmala); thus entrepreneurial opportunities are seemingly abundant. The initial part of the study, attempts to map these possibilities and the second part of the study deals with the evaluation of these possibilities (prospects in specific destinations), which are destination specific in nature. Classical Ethnographical method of research is adopted in exploring the possibilities and the prospects. Keywords: Entrepreneurs, ethnographic method, Matrix method

In case of India, it is strongly emphasized that both heritage management and cultural heritage tourism hold huge potential for national development and also will reemphasize the shared relationships, values of cultural tourism, sustainability besides building the capacity  for their preservation .In my paper, I have analyzed these two areas so as to make out a case for incorporation of a realistic strategy for  encouragement of cultural heritage tourism  activities and also to ensure their due protection.

As part of the critical tourism studies stream of research, this paper draws inspiration from Edward Said's criticisms of Orientalism. It examines how the three national museums of Singapore-the Singapore History Museum, the Singapore Art Museum and the Asian Civilizations Museums-reify various Singaporean Asian identities. Singapore has become too modern and western for many western tourists and the authorities have embarked on an ongoing campaign to make the country more Asian. While most Said-inspired studies examine how the Occident has come to dominate the Orient, this paper argues that the Orient can creatively respond to the superficial Occidental-centric views of them. In this case, the three national museums have adopted, appropriated and even invented new Orientalist discourses to assert the uniqueness and superiority of Singapore as a tourism destination and as an Asian society. The manner in which the various Asian identities are reified in Singapore also fulfils the aims of nation building.

Abstract

Battlefield sites are important cultural heritage attractions and serve to enhance local, regional and national tourism resources. They are able to stimulate powerful emotional responses in some visitors and have deep, if contentious, personal and collective meanings. This paper investigates a particular type of feeling that is thought to exist when visitors experience the past. The phenomenon of numinosity is defined as a deeply transcendental and connective experience which is stimulated by an engagement with the past. Applying this concept to battlefield sites this paper explores the extent to which this experience is present amongst visitors. Beginning with an assessment of the place of battlefields as dark sites the paper proceeds by discussing the theory of numinosity and how there has been some empirical analysis of the concept at battlefield sites. This is then developed by presenting the results of a study into numinosity at battle sites in Britain. The paper concludes by showing how numinosity is a rare phenomenon and suggests that we should adopt a more nuanced understanding of it. Instead of maintaining a homogenous interpretation of the phenomenon the paper concludes that, when present, there might be a number of different gradations of the numen.

Les excursions dans les paroisses catholiques de Yaoundé ou même dans les mémoires des paroissiens ne renseignent généralement que sur l'ordre de passage des premiers curés et des premiers catéchistes des missions chrétiennes. On trouve dans certaines églises locales des tableaux synoptiques indiquant la durée des séjours des curés qui ont dirigé ces paroisses depuis leurs créations. Construites seulement depuis environ cent ans, les toutes premières églises de Yaoundé et de sa périphérie se souviennent à peine des noms des ouvriers indigènes qui ont contribué à leurs édifications. On note donc en filigrane une histoire de l'architecture religieuse biaisée par l'omission des principaux bâtisseurs de ces églises. Cet exercice se propose de redresser cette histoire en y intégrant des pionniers jadis omis de l'architecture religieuse du Cameroun et en particulier de Melen-baaba. Nous questionnerons d'abord les archives de cette mission, ensuite nos enquêtes de terrain s'intéresseront aux sources orales encore vivantes et dignes de foi de cette localité. Nous confronterons les trouvailles archivistiques aux données orales recueillies.

It is known that many travel which performed by tourists are related to culture strongly. Even if the basic travel purpose of tourists is not culture, almost all of the travels include at least one cultural activity. Edirne which had been the capital of the Ottoman Empire along 92 years is one of the most important cities of Turkey with cultural and historical values. The aim of this study is to determine the number of potential visitors for the future in Edirne and to provide suggestions for the development of Edirne as a cultural destination. For this aim, a forecast analysis has been performed using previous Edirne visitors statistics. In this study, exponential smoothing model which one of the time series analysis was used. In the conclusion of this analysis, it has been demonstrated that for the next three years the number of visitors will increase. In line with these results, current status of Edirne as a cultural destination has been evaluated and suggestions have been presented for the future.

Investment and financing are essential for tourism development in Uzbekistan. Investments that conserve natural resources and preserve cultural heritage help to sustain tourism development and contribute to the distribution of benefits of tourism among the local population (OECD, 2013). This paper examines how the development of ecotourism in Yangiabad, Uzbekistan, has improved community participation in biodiversity conservation, preservation of cultural tradition, and sustainable community development. In this case study, a mixed methods approach was used to provide a better understanding of the development of ecotourism in Yangiabad. From the perspective of local stakeholders (i.e., hotel owners, tour operators, residents), the findings showed the lack of public investment and limited financing had restricted the development of ecotourism in Yangiabad, even though the development of ecotourism activities had improved the quality of life of local people living in Yangiabad. Issues associated with transparency and accountability in public administrations have significantly affected the ecotourism suppliers as well as created major obstacles to reinforce ecotourism principles and guidelines for sustainable economic development. It is suggested that collaboration between the government and local stakeholders is necessary in order to develop a set of standards that not only transparent but also adhere to guidelines for ecotourism development.

The relationship between the need to preserve archaeological sites and the needs of mass tourism has often proved problematic, as the various papers in this volume demonstrate. The aim of this chapter is to further refine the problem and to show how an integrated approach, which combines the requirements of both archaeology and the tourist industry, is being implemented in Malta for the purpose of promoting sustainable local development.

This study assessed religious tourism in Batangas, Philippines on the following aspects: historical significance, holiness and spirituality, and customs and traditions. The assessments made were also subjected to tests of differences when the respondents are grouped as to either residents or tourists and according to their age, sex, educational attainment and employment. Results show that both tourists and residents generally concurred on all religious tourism indicators presented to them for assessment, although there were also few indicators that had lower mean assessments than the others. While the differences on the assessments made by the different groups of respondents were not statistically significant, the slight differences are still noticeable. In particular, residents had somewhat more favourable assessment than the tourists, older respondents more than the younger, males more than the females, those with higher education more than those with lower education, and governme...

In the Sahel region of Agadez in Niger many members of the Kel Ewey Tuareg still live as nomads and caravaners. Part of their traditional natural territory, the Aïr-Ténéré Reserve, was inscribed on the UNESCO WHS list as early as 1991, due to its unique combination of natural and cultural elements. Now also the ancient caravan route and the traditional Tuareg ‘capital’ of Agadez are set for WHS inclusion.
The political, economic and environmental changes in living conditions in the Agadez region have been placing the Tuareg under increasing pressure to adapt. In the search for new sources of income, it appeared that ethnotourism could provide a chance to promote traditional lifestyles while also enabling some integration. Then, with the uncontrolled development of tourism, as well as years of military conflict and civil disturbance, these hopes seemed doomed. However, thanks not least to a thorough reappraisal and rethinking within the organisation of local tourism agencies, the development of tourism now appears set on a new and promising course, with a more integrated approach and fewer destructive side-effects. Against this backdrop, the inscription of Agadez as a World Heritage Site should be seen as a realistic contribution to promoting socially acceptable tourism in the area.

In der Sahel-Region Agadez (Westafrika) leben viele der Kel Ewey-Tuareg noch als Nomaden und Karawaniers. Ein Teil ihres natürlichen Lebensraums, das Aïr-Ténéré-Reservat, wurde aufgrund der einzigartigen Kombination von Natur- und Kulturelementen bereits vor Jahren in die UNESCO-Liste aufgenommen. Nun sollen auch die nach wie vor genutzten Karawanenwege sowie die alte „Hauptstadt“ der Tuareg, Agadez, zum Welt-Kulturerbe ernannt werden.
Der politische, ökonomische und ökologische Wandel der Lebensbedingungen in der Region Agadez setzt die Tuareg unter wachsenden Anpassungsdruck. Auf der Suche nach neuen Einkommensquellen wird im Ethnotourismus eine Chance gesehen traditionelle Lebensweisen zu fördern, aber auch Tuareg mit modernem Hintergrund zu integrieren. Die unkontrollierte Tourismusentwicklung, die aus einer langjährigen Rebellion hervorgegangen war, schien diese Hoffnungen vorerst zu enttäuschen. Seit sich innerhalb der Organisation der örtlichen Agenturbetreiber ein grundlegender Umdenkprozess durchsetzt, scheint sich die Tourismusentwicklung in geordnete Bahnen mit höheren integrativen Effekten und geringeren destruktiven Auswirkungen zu bewegen. Vor diesem neuen Hintergrund verspricht die Anerkennung von Agadez als Weltkulturerbe einen realistischen Beitrag zur Förderung eines sozialverträglichen Tourismus leisten zu können.

Tourists have been labelled, metaphorically, in multiple ways. This includes descriptions of tourists as (secular) pilgrims in a quest of authenticity but also as travellers on a sacred journey. In contrast, the stereotypical image that tourists are hedonists is related particularly (but not exclusively) with sun, sand and sex, and is associated with, sometimes unbridled, consumerism (cf. Salazar 2010a). This research probe deals with the question whether a tourist is a ‘secular pilgrim’ or a ‘hedonist in search of pleasure’. Both descriptors refer to a debate among tourism scholars that started back in the 1970s. It is important to put the question and possible answers to it within the historical context of this discussion.

Cultural tourism is the fastest-growing sector of the tourism industry and hence there is a trend towards an increased specialization among tourists. The attraction over the adventure, culture, tradition, history, etc. marks the increase of tourists in any region. Especially the interest of foreign and domestic tourists in travelling to cultural destinations has increased in recent times and is expected to increase manifolds in future too. Nyishi traditional festivals embrace diverse cultural activities which together portray the glamour of the people's indigenous way of life. These festivals are the anvil on which cultural unity is forged as its celebrations acts as a unifying force which binds the people together. Festivals are transitory occasions for merriment seasoned with a purpose attached to different aspects of tribal life. It is a period of rest from arduous daily activities affording the quality leisure time of people to consume all the entertaining cultural aesthetics of the event. Of a truth, Nyishi traditional festivals with its associated cultural display have been a podium that sustained cultural uniformity amongst Nyishi people through ages. This paper, in its descriptive character, endeavours to investigate the potential of harnessing the cultural aesthetics of Nyishi traditional festivals to promote cultural tourism.

The paper discusses the issue of heritage conservation in Indian cities in the face of current rapid urbanization trends. The urban development pressure, coupled with the lack of an appropriate conservation framework, is causing the loss of important cultural heritage in India. The federal Indian government has recently launched a program on smart cities to improve cities livability and embrace technological progress. The paper discusses the current policy situation and the role that urban heritage is having within the internal debate. It presents results from an experts’ workshop held in Mumbai in December 2016 and argues that a novel smartheritage approach is needed to support decision making in urban conservation.

Κριτήριο του διαχωρισμού είναι η αναγνωρισιμότητα του πολιτιστικού δημιουργήματος που εξετάζεται και η αποδοχή της ιστορικής του ύπαρξης από ένα άτομο, μια χώρα ή την παγκόσμια κοινότητα. Η αναγνωρισιμότητα ενός πολιτιστικού δημιουργήματος συνάδει με την επισκεψιμότητα που μπορεί να προκαλέσει. Η κουλτούρα (παιδεία/καλλιέργεια) ως έννοια διαμορφώνει και διαμορφώνεται από εννοιολογικούς - ευμετάβλητους παράγοντες αξιολόγησης, ο πολιτισμός μπορεί να προσδιοριστεί από σταθερούς και υλικούς.

The report seeks to compare the Czech Republic and Slovakia in order to answer the question whether the greater cultural heritage public attention and protection lead to a greater cultural heritage touristic figures. Revising the data on the cultural heritage protection measures, the curatorial activity in the museums, their admission numbers and the overall touristic statistics for the two nation states, the report concludes that the Slovak museums employing less general and specialized staff, being allocated less public spending and enjoying less curatorial activity with the exception of educational programmes are managing to receive less museum visits per capita than their Czech counterparts. However, those figures, extrapolated to the Czech far bigger overall touristic numbers, mean that the Czech Republic does not utilize its potential in that sphere.

Results show that both tourists and residents generally concurred on all religious tourism indicators presented to them for assessment, although there were also few indicators that had lower mean assessments than the others. While the differences on the assessments made by the different groups of respondents were not statistically significant, the slight differences are still noticeable. In particular, residents had somewhat more favourable assessment than the tourists, older respondents more than the younger, males more than the females, those with higher education more than those with lower education, and government employees more than those who are not in government service. These slight but still noticeable differences, together with religious tourism indicators having lower mean assessments than the others, can serve as bases for making proposals on how to further enrich the religious tourism in Batangas.

Cultural heritage tourism is a branch of tourism which is often a blend of education, entertainment and preservation. It is experiential, it involves and engages the visitor. Cultural tourism and sustainable development are the best way through which cultural heritage can be best preserved. Conservation, protection and exploitation of the cultural and natural resources are a factor for sustainability, which can be gained by cultural tourism.
Cultural tourism is a broad term, which includes a wide range of cultural, historical and natural sites, artefacts, institutions, organizations etc. Underwater cultural heritage is part of the content of this concept. Coincidentally, UNESCO has said “The seabed is often called "the biggest museum of the world” . The sea has many stories to tell, and there are a lot of stories that audience desires to discover. And the intersection of both is the cultural tourism. 
There are a lot of submerged artefacts in the Bulgarian Black sea aquatory that are waiting to be displayed in situ  or by new multimedia technologies for the nondiving public. They are separated in three groups: submerged settlements, submerged shipwrecks, and harbor water areas. All these objects are sources of valuable information about the people inhabited Black sea coast millennia ago; about their life and culture, customs and traditions; about the relationships between West Black sea coast and the Mediterranean; about the international trade on sea. Effectively conserved, actively managed and attentively socialized the underwater cultural heritage will bring benefits to the local population as well as to the sustainability of the seaside region. An important part of the process of protection and management is the cooperation of the local people. These are the factors through which cultural tourism will build up the economic capacity of the local area.
When Bulgarian underwater cultural and historical heritage is preserved, managed, socialized and its value is appreciated by the local people, it will play an important role in the cultural tourism, which will ensure the sustainable development of the region.

The report seeks to inquire the connection between tourism and cultural heritage governance in Albania. Even though the lack of sufficient in-depth quantitative and qualitative prior research does not allow for concrete conclusions, some notions on that connections were reached. At first, Albania should deploy more international branding and advertisement for its cultural tourism, including the involvement of more of its ethnic minority heritage, due to the over-reliance on the Albanian diaspora and the Albanian ethnic minorities as international tourists. Secondly and lastly, private initiative and public-private cooperation in respect to cultural heritage may be deployed in order to further stimulate cultural heritage tourism.

Somut olmayan kültürel miras unsurları kapsamında incelenen el sanatları, günümüzde yok olmaya başlayan değerler arasında yer almaktadır. Diğer taraftan, Gümüşhane ili Dölek Köyü'nde üretimi sınırlı da olsa halen devam etmekte olan çömlekçilik (guduculuk), akademik olarak incelenmesi gereken değerli bir el sanatıdır. Bu doğrultuda çalışmanın amacı, Gümüşhane ili Dölek Köyü'nde üretimi giderek azalan guduculuğun sürdürülebilir turizm bağlamında tekrar canlandırılmasına ve gelecek nesillere aktarılmasına yönelik çözüm önerileri sunmaktır. Çalışmanın amaçları doğrultusunda; ilgili paydaşlarla görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiş olup, ortaya çıkan sonuçlar betimsel analiz yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak çalışmada, guduculuğun devam ettirilmesi noktasında birtakım problemlerin var olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu problemlerin başlıcaları; gençlerin el sanatına karşı ilgisizliği ve el sanatı ustalarının emeklerinin karşılığını yeterince alamamasıdır. Ayrıca, üretim sürecinin zor ve zahmetli olması, kooperatifleşmeye gidilmediği için guduların ucuza satılması, Dölek Köyü'nde guduların satışı ve pazarlanması için uygun mekânların olmaması diğer problemlerdir.

Abstract
Handicrafts that are examined within the context of intangible cultural heritage are among the values that are beginning to disappear. On the other hand; guduculuk, which is still going on even if limited its production in Dolek Village of Gumushane province, is a valuable hand craft to be examined academically. In this respect, the aim of study is to provide a solution for the revitalization and transfering it to future generations in the context of sustainable tourism of guduculuk increasingly decreasing production in the village of Dolek, Gumushane province. In line with the aims of the work; interviews with relevant stakeholders were conducted and the results were analyzed and evaluated by content analysis and descriptive analysis method. As a result, it has been found that there are some problems in the continuation of guduculuk in the study. These problems are mainly young people's indifference to the handcraft and not get craftsman's labor provision. In addition, the production process is difficult and laborious, the sale of potteries cheaply for the lack of become a cooperative, the lack of suitable places for the sale and marketing of pottery in Dölek Village are other problems.

Archaeotourism, a relatively new sub-branch, has played significant roles in the recently growing interest in heritage tourism. Critical heritage areas in different parts of the world have become great economic contributors to their host countries, generating job opportunity for many. However, the same thing is not valid for Asia Minor although it is unique as a huge area to host continual traces of ancient cultures from the Palaeolithic Age. A proper archaeotourism planning and environment management can be the key to cultural, economic and integrational development of the region, contributing to the overall wellbeing of Turkey.

Tourism has played a significant economic part both in Europe and worldwide, which is statistically
demonstrated by the growing share of this sector in the European economy in the last decades. An
important contribution has been made by urban cultural tourism, that niche of tourist activity on which
we focused our analysis. This paper analyzed, for the period between 2000 and 2019, the relationship
between economic growth and cultural tourism from the perspective of museums, theatres, cinemas and
public libraries to demonstrate the importance of cultural tourism for the urban economy. The lack of
statistical data led us to exclude a number of European states and to arrange the remaining ones so as
to configure two models processed using multiple linear regression (MLR). Our conclusion is that urban
cultural tourism positively influences both the growth of the tourism sector and the economic growth.
Of the variables analyzed, it seems that the two factors with the highest degree of attractiveness, in the
case of urban cultural tourism, are museums first and then theaters. The results we have obtained are
important in the decision to establish the urban development strategy. The inclusion of tourism in the
urban development strategy allows not only to increase the attractiveness but also to attract revenues
to local budgets, stimulates entrepreneurial activity in hotels, restaurants, shops and it has a positive
impact on the labor market. Thus, the development of urban tourism has direct, indirect and induced
economic and social effects that cannot be neglected. The public and entrepreneurial sectors have
significantly to gain once the strategy of urban development through tourism is valued.
