Conditions, Mechanisms and Implications of the Use of Archaeological Heritage in Cultural Tourism

Abstract

We have discussed this research, based on a range of international data and experiences, the requirements and criteria for exploiting archaeological heritage in the industry and supporting cultural tourism, which is essentially about ensuring the integrity and sustainability of this heritage and then ensuring that it benefits from the proceeds of this exploitation in the context of financing its management, preservation and restoration, Then we reviewed the forms of this exploitation and the mechanisms by which it is carried out, allowing us to discover the different opportunities and broad prospects that archaeological heritage can give to cultural tourism and contribute effectively to its industry or at least to support its options and offers, In return, we have discovered that adherence to international requirements and standards in the tourism exploitation of archaeological heritage has several benefits for the reconciliation of archaeological heritage, This heritage benefits from financial revenues included in its operation, preservation, protection and restoration, thereby ensuring its sustainability and thus its continued exploitation, A series of international experiences have demonstrated that investment in archaeological heritage and its introduction as a tourism product can be very successful if carried out on the aforementioned grounds.
