BA - Heritage and Tourism in Bankstown Australia | Western Sydney University

In today's highly interconnected world marked by migration, tourism, media, transportation, and communication, preserving historical and natural environments stands as one of society's greatest challenges. Heritage has emerged as a cornerstone for cultural identity, shaping our perspectives on modernity, peace, development, and our roles as citizens and stewards of community.

Heritage sites have simultaneously grown into prominent tourist attractions, making the connection between heritage and tourism essential in our globally networked society. These two elements have become fundamentally intertwined in the modern era.

This program explores current heritage challenges while offering comprehensive insights into tourism as a social force.

It facilitates a thoughtful analysis of how heritage and tourism interact across various contexts, both within Australia (including Indigenous communities) and around the world.
