The complex relationship between heritage places and people, in the
broadest sense, can be considered dialogic, a communicative act
that has implications for both sides of the 'conversation'. This is
the starting point for Heritage and Tourism . However, the
'dialogue' between visitors and heritage sites is complex.
'Visitors' have, for many decades, become synonymous with
'tourists' and the tourism industry and so the dialogic
relationship between heritage place and tourists has produced a
powerful critique of this often contested relationship. Further, at
the heart of the dialogic relationship between heritage places and
people is the individual experience of heritage where generalities
give way to particularities of geography, place and culture, where
anxieties about the past and the future mark heritage places as
sites of contestation, sites of silences, sites rendered political
and ideological, sites powerfully intertwined with representation,
sites of the imaginary and the imagined. Under the aegis of the
term 'dialogues' the heritage/tourism interaction is reconsidered
in ways that encourage reflection about the various communicative
acts between heritage places and their visitors and the ways these
are currently theorized, so as to either step beyond - where
possible - the ontological distinctions between heritage places and
tourists or to re-imagine the dialogue or both. Heritage and
Tourism is thus an important contribution to understanding the
complex relationship between heritage and tourism.
