The Asia Pacific region's enormous diversity of living cultures
and preserved heritage sites has significant appeal to many
tourists. However tourism has grown so rapidly that many issues
associated with the incorporation of cultural and heritage
experiences in tourist itineraries (such as authenticity verses
commodification, exploitation of national cultures, impacts on
local communities, and the management of heritage resources) have
not been adequately addressed and must be debated.
This revealing book reviews recent developments in cultural and
heritage tourism in the Asia Pacific region and provides a
discussion on how communities have faced and overcome significant
challenges to develop and market their culture and heritage
resources. A range of models and case studies are used to deepen
the reader's understanding of heritage and cultural issues, to
illustrate many of the more controversial issues, and to examine
new evaluative, and planning tools.
This book is a special issue of the Asia Pacific Journal of
Tourism Research.
