As one of the world's fastest growing industries, heritage tourism
is surrounded by political and ethical issues. This research
explores the social and political effects and implications of
heritage tourism through several pertinent topics. It examines the
hegemonic power of heritage tourism and its consequences, the
spectre of nationalism and colonialism in heritage-making,
particularly for minorities and indigenous peoples, and the paradox
of heritage tourism's role in combating these issues. Drawing from
global cases, the study addresses a range of approaches and
challenges of empowerment within the context of heritage tourism,
including cultural landscapes, intangible heritage and eco-museums.
The research argues that heritage tourism has the potential to
develop as a form of co-production. It can be used to create a
mechanism for community-centred governance that integrates
recognition and interpretation and promotes dialogue, equity and
diversity.
