achieving sustainability in heritage tourism
host-guest perspective should be considered
wherein the positive tourist experience go
hand in hand with positive perceptions from
the local residents thereby creating mutual
respect for each other.
It also important to look at the sustainability at
the heritage sites based on the cultural
intangibles. The cultural heritage management
focuses on preserving the heritage property,
which involves the relevant stakeholders, viz.,
tourists, the tourism industry and the heritage
site management. These stakeholders provide
a strong moral and social contribution while
acting towards the heritage site conservation
and hence its sustainability. Sustainability at
the built heritage sites can be achieved by
conservation and also by controlling tourist
activities.
