In today's highly interconnected world marked by migration, tourism, media, and transportation, where safeguarding historical and natural environments emerges as a key challenge for societies worldwide, heritage serves as a cornerstone for cultural identity. It shapes our perspectives on modernity, peace, development, and influences our notions of citizenship, stewardship, and community belonging.
Simultaneously, heritage sites have gained prominence as popular tourist attractions, making the connection between heritage and tourism essential in our globally connected era. These two elements have become fundamentally intertwined in the 21st century.
This program explores current heritage challenges while offering comprehensive insights into tourism as a societal force. It facilitates a thoughtful analysis of how heritage and tourism intersect across various contexts, both within Australia (including Indigenous communities) and around the world.
