This book provides for the first time a cohesive volume about cultural heritage as applied to tourism and development that is theoretically rich, practically applied and empirically grounded.

Written by expert scholars and practitioners, the book covers a broad range of theoretical perspectives which have not been explored together before; regeneration, policy, stakeholders, marketing, socio-economic development, impacts, sustainability, volunteering and ICT. It further takes a broad view of cultural heritage by integrating international examples of sites and monuments in addition to motor vehicle heritage events and modern art museums. This significant book will be of interest to students, researchers and practitioners in a range of disciplines.

Part 1: Theoretical issues Part 2: Tensions and dissonance Part 3: Economics and impact Part 4: Future directions
