Planning Cultural-Heritage Tourism for Sustainable Development.

<p>It is generally recognized that the 21st century will be a century of globalization. Notwithstanding all the<br>benefits of economic globalization, it causes the substantive threat of cultural globalization. Therefore, it is<br>fundamental for every community to identify and maintain its own characteristic features that reflect diversity and<br>identity of the place. One of such features is cultural heritage. Tourism is increasingly being regarded as a positive<br>force for the preservation of nature and culture; its contributions should bring about benefits for the host community<br>and provide its members with significant resources and incentives to look after and maintain their heritage.</p> <p>
