Résumé (en anglais)

This paper presents a mid term progress report on a ground breaking project that is at the very heart of how ICOMOS protects and transmits the tangible and intangible values of heritage places and the communities who sustain them. The 18 month UNESCO World Heritage Centre project brings together the conservation and tourism sectors to generate shared and sustainable policies, guidelines and methods to ensure that tourism activities contribute to the protection and conservation of World Heritage sites. For the first time, a number of major international agencies including UN World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO), ICOMOS, IUCN, ICCROM, The Nature Conservancy and the World Bank have joined UNESCO and representatives of the Tourism Private Sector to craft common tourism and visitor management principles. These will be used by all participants to improve the management of tourism at World Heritage sites. Such sites will become best practice exemplars for other heritage places throughout the world. This is a project of great importance for ICOMOS as it considers ways to protect and enhance the Spirit of Place from increasing tourism pressures at heritage places.
