Heritage tourism is a global multi-million-dollar phenomenon,
influencing national, regional and local cultural identities. Hong
Kong finds itself at the confluence of several post-colonial
economic, political and social developments and with this comes a
greater awareness of the need for more meaningful cultural and
heritage tourism products, especially in the form of revitalised
heritage attractions. Taking a qualitative approach and using
semi-structured in-depth interviews with practitioners and
stakeholders in the field, this study explores the role of
interpretation in heritage revitalisation projects for tourism in
Hong Kong. It seeks to examine why the interpretive element of
these projects so often gets diminished during the course of
implementation and outlines five propositions that may inform it
going forward. Ultimately, the findings of this study suggest that,
as issues of local identity become ever more important in Hong
Kong, the role of interpretation in the development of its heritage
tourism products needs to be holistic, integrated and consistent
across public, private and non-governmental sectors. Developing a
framework of understanding to identify the contextual issues of
interpretation and commodification, this book will be useful to
students and scholars of tourism, heritage studies and Asian
studies more generally.
