This book explores and elaborates on the concept of “heritage tourism” and its implications for the tourism industry worldwide. Dynamics of Heritage Management and Tourism Development: Trends, Practices and Approaches is an anthology of conceptual analysis, its implications using a number of case studies, and research analysis on heritage management with community involvement for tourism development. The book also emphasizes the responsibility for regulating the dynamics of historic tourism on the individual rather than the government level.

The book is unique in that it offers a thorough assessment of the literature on heritage management in order to highlight the significance of conserving and promoting tangible and intangible cultural assets for sustainable tourism development. It also seeks to provide direction for destinations experiencing problems with heritage management and for developing new tourism destinations. The book provides in-depth knowledge by covering dynamics from traditions to digitization. The chapters focus on what is acquired from previous generations, both material and immaterial, and what constitutes a cultural heritage. Topics covered include changing dynamics of heritage management through sustainability, challenges in conservation of architectural heritage, tourism development in urban areas, digitization as a tool for conservation and sustainability, and more. The book makes extensive use of case studies to demonstrate the strategies and impacts related to heritage tourism in different countries.

The book will be of interest to professors and researchers in the field of heritage management, tourism management, and conservation of heritage resources as well as for policymakers, administrators, and tourism promoters as a guideline and roadmap.
