“…A management plan including planning, transport, government political and tourism policies provides a conservation plan [67]. The lack of appropriate planning in the context of visitor management due to the complacency of destination managers and planners has been emphasised in tourism literature [68][69][70]. Visitor management and preservation of architectural heritage involves diverse issues, including the social and political dimensions of visitor management, the implementation of monitoring, vandalism and augmented reality [31].…”

Abstract:The aims of this study are manifold. First, to investigate the potentials of architectural heritage in the context of tourism destination development, as well as examine public sector policies and make plans toward the preservation of these resources. Secondly, to appraise the outcome of preservation and its implications for tourism. The study is an effort to explore and understand the interrelationships between tourism and architectural heritage sites through tourist image and perception. For the purposes of this research, numerous heritage sites were sampled in Portugal. A mixed research method was utilized to gauge tourists' image/perception of heritage resources, and impact (quantitative approach). A qualitative approach was utilized to assess the priority of tourists in their visits and public-sector policies toward heritage resource management and planning. The fuzzy logic method was used to assess the architectural value and the tourist and preservation potential of historical buildings in Porto/Aveiro. The contribution and implications of the study are also explained. The results revealed that architectural heritage resources have the most appeal to tourists. The study to date demonstrates the architectural value and tourist and preservation potential of the buildings observed via evaluation by fuzzy logic methods.

“…Certainly, while using the social-ecological resilience theory, research carried out in Ecuador observed that, although sustainability is one of the major challenges facing tourism, sustainable development can only be achieved in sufficiently resilient socio-ecosystems, which is a significant element of community-based tourism [48][49][50]. Sustainability from a resilience theory standpoint is the possibility that an existing system of resource use will persist indefinitely without a decline in social and natural resource bases [48,49].…”

Community-Based Tourism (CBT) has been pushed as one of the strategies for poverty alleviation and it might enhance the sustainability of marginalized regions and communities. However, tourism has also been argued to carry seeds for its own destruction and therefore presents a great dilemma and developmental paradox. This research sought to establish perceptions of the citizenry towards community-based tourism as a sustainable development strategy for rural regions in Kenya.The study focused on the awareness levels of CBT, and perceived contributions of CBT to the socio-economic and physical sustainability of rural regions in Kenya. A descriptive research design was adopted with a sample of 395 respondents. Data collected were collated and analyzed using SPSS 25 and Nvivo 12. Findings revealed that agriculture and other economic activities can be integrated with tourism and hospitality to deliver sustainable development in rural regions given the vast resources and attributes ideal for CBT. The majority of the respondents were noted to have a fair understanding of what CBT entails and thus calling for more capacity building, training and appropriate technical support to unlock the full potential of CBT as a sustainable development strategy. Overall results showed favorable perceptions towards CBT as a tool that can contribute to the sustainability of the socio-economic and physical environments in Kenya's rural region.

“…Relevant scholarly work acknowledges community stakeholders, such as local residents and entrepreneurs, as potential partners who deserve an active role not only in tourism trade (Saufi et al, 2014;Ruiz-Ballesteros et al, 2016) but also in the strategic design and decision-making for tourism growth (Wray, 2011;Marzuki et al, 2012;Cohen-Hattab, 2013). The advocates of community participation argue that such policymaking approach can increase trust and public consensus (Byrd, 2007;Vargas-Sanchez et al, 2010), lead to tourism strategies that correspond to local needs (Currie et al, 2009) and contribute to destination sustainability (Byrd et al, 2009;Ooi et al, 2015).…”

The literature largely advocates for community participation in heritage tourism planning but there is little empirical evidence on the effectiveness of participatory management and its contribution to heritage. This study adopts an experimental approach to conduct a ceteris paribus comparison between participatory and non-participatory decision-making. The analysis relies on behavioural data on choices, deliberation and conflict studied in the context of a controlled collaborative environment. The findings provide important insights in favour of participation, offering support to previous conjectures. First, choices and deliberation between participatory and non-participatory groups exhibit no statistically significant differences, suggesting that community participation can be (equally?) as effective as (with) top-down decision-making. Second, participatory groups are more susceptible to conflict, which is nonetheless constructive rather than destructive, leading to more pro-heritage choices.Further, in participatory groups, we find positive correlations between proheritage preferences and deliberation, suggesting that the latter benefits heritage investment decisions. These findings have important implications, arguing for collaborative approaches to heritage tourism planning and less institutional anxiety towards conflict.
