Abstract (in English)
Addressing the radically different needs of the tourist, who is travelling to seek experiences, and the community, that seeks some financial benefit from the traveller, poses the greatest challenge for tourism in general and for cultural tourism in particular. The commodification of cultural heritage assets presents a number of issues for their management, not the least of which is the challenging task of accommodating both the needs of the tourism industry and the ideals of local attraction managers (Bazin 1995, Cheung 1999, Peleggi 1996, Robb 1998, Sletvold 1996). The marketing and commodification of heritage assets for tourism includes more than just promotion of a selected group of assets, it should also cover their presentation, conservation and strategies employed for visitor management to balance conservation, host community and tourism needs.
