With the exponential rise in leisure mobility, tourism has
increasingly become of great economic significance. Cultural
heritage, such as museums, churches, historical landscapes, urban
parks, and exhibitions attract many visitors and countries, regions
and cities which house such historic-cultural amenities have seen
increasingly large waves of tourists. While an avalanche of
tourists has a positive impact on the local economy, such modern
mass tourism also brings about negative externalities such as
congestion, decline in quality of life, low access to cultural
amenities and loss of local identity; to the extent that the
sustainability conditions of a locality might be endangered. This
tourism dilemma is particularly pronounced in cities with a rich
cultural past, such as Venice, Naples and Amsterdam. Bringing
together an interdisciplinary team of leading scholars from North
America and Europe, this book examines the interface of local
cultural resources and modern mass tourism from a sustainability
perspective. It puts forward innovative methodologies and best case
practice for future cultural conservation policies.
