Simon Thurley

As ______________ of English Heritage has shown in his Heritage Cycle, heritage tourism has benefits that extend beyond the solely economic.

drivers of poverty reduction and shared prosperity

Cultural heritage and sustainable tourism are:

• Both the protection of cities' identities and local cultures, and the promotion of cultural expressions, are crucial to ensure livability and to make cities become vibrant life-spaces, including the regeneration of natural heritage to create green areas for social use.

• Culture is also a platform for social and economic development as well as competitiveness. Historic centers are assets for the development of urban communities, promotion of cultural and creative industries, and enhancement of sustainable tourism. These activities contribute to poverty reduction by generating income and creating employment for local communities.

Sustainable Tourism and Cultural Heritage (1)

• Inclusion and recognition of cultural identities is an important factor to address poverty and boost shared prosperity. Safeguarding cultural diversity is a way to promote social interaction and cohesion in the context of both internal and international migration to cities.

• Finally, creating urban resilience from culture is possible through traditional knowledge systems, culture-based strategies to reduce cities' vulnerability to hazards and cultural programs for post-disaster recovery. The protection of world heritage sites and cultural heritage in all its forms as a global legacy helps to promote international peace efforts.
