Throughout the book, the authors explore the factors and conditions required for heritage tourism to be economically and socially beneficial to the local community without impairing the natural environment, cultural heritage preservation, or the necessity to ensure it is safeguarded for future generations. An examination of the measures which have been implemented to ensure sustainable use of natural and cultural systems is presented, leading to a new concept of tourism that incorporates science and community practices together to create a favourable environment where tourists and locals can experience meaningful interactions and experiences.Furthermore, the book discusses the role of stakeholders in the development of a new policy regarding the sustainable management of cultural tourism and the possibility of their involvement in the processes governing policy-making.A major focus is placed on the role and commitment of local and international authorities, including UNESCO, in preserving the world's endangered cultural and natural heritage, as well as the responsibilities of Member States and public and private actors with respect to future conservation challenges.
