Abstract (in English)

The heritage sites have internationally a group of obstacles in the competitive touristic market. Thus, the cultural identity is considered the basic generator for creating heritage marketing actions. There are some heritage sites that are globally well-known and attract a large number of visitors but are not fully integrated, especially through its edutainment services and facilities, into its main local identity. Thus, the cultural identity is considered the strategic tool of distinguishing competitively the heritage site and creating a kind of uniqueness which isn’t explored in another heritage site by the visitors’ perception and experience. This research aims to approve the cultural identity’s role branding the heritage site through operationalizing interactively three factors: image, awareness, and loyalty/sense of place. Therefore, realizing the “Green Economy” perspective, these factors are the main domains of sustaining socio-economically the heritage communities as the main representative of the cultural heritage and a fundamental generator of the future heritage. In addition, it aims at critically analyzing, through the secondary data, the supposed effective interaction and interrelationship between the cultural identity and heritage branding to curate the values of the heritage site and to sustain its indigenous/autochthonous/local community.
