Bachelor of Social Science - Heritage and Tourism in Sydney Australia | Western Sydney University

In today's highly interconnected world—marked by migration, tourism, media, transportation, and communication—the conservation of 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 concepts like citizenship, stewardship, and community. Heritage sites have also grown into prominent tourist attractions, making the interplay between heritage and tourism essential in our globally connected era. The two are now inextricably linked in the 21st century.

This major explores current heritage debates and offers a thorough understanding of tourism as a societal force. It encourages a critical analysis of how heritage and tourism intersect across various contexts, both within Australia (including Indigenous communities) and around the world.
