Description

This volume provides a comprehensive account of the valuable tangible and intangible benefits of the development of heritage tourism.

Tourism development is widely acknowledged as a crucial tool to foster the development of rural and urban areas.

To this end, this book presents nine case studies from international authors that reflect how tourism development is helpfulâ€”economically, socially, and otherwiseâ€”for community capacity building.

The case studies from the countries of Spain, Portugal, Australia, Dubai, Bangladesh, Nigeria, and India demonstrate the uses of various management strategies and methods for rural and urban areas, and cover some of the major topics related to community-based tourism, community capacity building, and community participation in developing heritage tourism.

Chapters consider the conservation of heritage resources and tourism promotion of destinations that provide opportunities to local communities to strengthen their economies and social standards.
