MODULE 4. Explaining Tourism Heritage Value and Impact on Culture, Economy, and Society<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Description<\/strong><\/td>This module explores the complex relationship between heritage and tourism, emphasizing how cultural, social, and economic dimensions intertwine in the management, preservation, and promotion of heritage assets. It introduces key distinctions in heritage typologies: tangible\/intangible, movable\/immovable and critically examines how heritage becomes a touristic resource. Through real-world case studies and pedagogical activities, learners analyze the benefits and risks of tourism for local communities, including over-tourism, commodification, and depopulation. Emphasis is placed on sustainability, community empowerment, and intercultural dialogue. The module fosters critical thinking and ethical reflection while equipping students with practical tools to evaluate and co-develop heritage-based tourism practices rooted in local needs and global frameworks (e.g., UNESCO).
