| Summary |
"This volume marks the 30th anniversary celebration of the signing of the World Heritage Convention and addresses the meaning of World Heritage to the citizens of different nations. Increasing global mobility, advances in global communications technology, and the intensification of market forces on a global scale, are converting people, places and environments into commodities. These forces present threats as well as opportunities for UNESCO and the numerous international, national and local organisations involved in World Heritage issues." "Heritage sites are often viewed through the perspectives of nationalism and ethnicity, and their meaning and significance are highly contested. This collection will appeal beyond academic circles to an audience that includes international development organisations and funding bodies, national and regional government departments, municipal councils, national tourism offices, tour operators, heritage and conservation experts, and the educators and managers of the heritage."--BOOK JACKET |
