'Visitor Management' is an innovative collection of case studies
taken from cultural World Heritage Sites. Using examples from the
world's most significant archaeological and architectural legacies
this book identifies the problems involved with site management.
Cultural World Heritage Sites are extremely attractive to
contemporary visitors. This poses many problems for site
management, notably the need to preserve a delicate balance between
interpretation, conservation and the provision of visitor
facilities.
This contributed title takes examples from a range of UNESCO World
Heritage Sites and shows models of good practice looking at the
functions of the different organizations involved and the range of
variation among sites. The contributors have international
expertise and draw on first-hand knowledge at a practical level.
'Visitor Management: Case studies from World Heritage Sites' is
ideal for practitioners and students involved in heritage
management and conservation management. Undergraduate and
postgraduate students in tourism, leisure and hospitality will also
find this book an invaluable read.
