Criterios básicos para la planificación turística sustentable de los Sitios Culturales Patrimonio de la Humanidad

Abstract

The center of the research is to identify items that must be considered for sustainable destination planning, in accordance with the practical guidelines for implementing the 1972 World Heritage Convention. With this aim, the most important implications that entails the recognition of UNESCO are reviewed looking forward to the improvement of destination management of the, which should consider a pool of strategies and plans for tourism, designed with some level of agreement between the different World Heritage sites and directed towards a sustainable balance. Methodology Based on a review of papers published in journals of Scopus database, related to the impact of tourism in world heritage cities; the analysis was made using the method of content analysis, reviewing the items which tend to mitigate the negative effects of tourism in this kind of destinations, which are fragile due to the complicated coexistence between heritage and contemporary dynamics. Conclusions Similar scenarios were identified in most of the World Heritage studied sites. One of the main findings is that in both consolidated and emerging destinations, one of the priority lines of attention is the improvement of tourist destination management. Originality A number of conclusions emerge from the work in order to improve the sustainability of destinations, useful both for the actors of the world heritage sites-presenting challenges arising from the crowds of tourist-as for researchers who work comparative incidence of heritage tourism.

La transformación de un territorio cultural. El desarrollo de los pueblos mágicos en México: Pátzcuaro como caso de estudio

“…The 21 st century has brought a global change in the management of development activities, promoting the goals of the millennium following the 2030 agenda and, in turn, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) (Trejo, 2017). Puig & Foronda (2017 mention that the sustainability-tourism binomial must be present in the tourism policy management and in the programs that emerge from this (WTO, 2016;Ruiz Lanuza & Alvarado Sizzo, 2018), in order to promote development guarantees for these emerging communities (Puig-Cabrera & Foronda-Robles 2018, 2017, WTO, 2016. SDGs, in their connection with tourism, suggest through the management, fostering the growth and development of communities, bringing local producers and unions together (N°1), integrating them in the value chain of the local products sector (N°2), in order to reduce the inequality gap (N°10) (WTO, 2001(WTO, , 2016.…”

If SDG associated to tourism are not followed, destinations with resources cataloged as World Heritage will see themselves immersed in the arrival of visitors, and if tourism in unsuitably handled, the activity may not close the gap in inequality, thus causing a harmful footprint from this activity (as mentioned in Ruiz & Alvarado, 2018). Contextualizing tourism from a contemporary point of view emphasizes the later analysis about the management of the PM, given that the guidelines are based on sustainability.…”
