“…Religious heritage plays a defined role in this outline, from the perspective of pilgrimage, indeed of all sites that welcome tourists and, more specifically, of the ones that do no longer function as locations for worship (Nolan and Nolan 1992;Hernández Espinosa and Ontiveros 2020;Burgess 2021), which is the topic of this paper. The precise archaeological references to both temples under examination, one from the 1st-2nd centuries AD to an eastern Arabian deity and one Christian, dating from the 6th century, are provided below, but their integration in regional tourism development plans finds support in comparable case studies (Butler and Suntikul 2018;Scarce 2020;Chaddad 2021). Economic growth and archaeology are often perceived as mutually beneficial yet are not naturally aligned and do generate multiple colliding interests (Gould and Pyburn 2016), although edited volumes on capacity building (Srivastava 2021), local development (Girard and Nijkamp 2016),…”

As suggested by the title, this paper explores two of the several archaeological sites that configure religious loci in the territory of the current United Arab Emirates. It does so by assessing their relevance, by refining their nature and historical context, and by analyzing their positioning as components of a tourism mix. The core research question is whether or not integration is accomplished. Both structures are quite well known in the academic literature and underwent excavation and conservation investments that allow their proper use and promotion. Discussion and conclusions identify challenges for achieving an appropriate integration with conditioning supply factors.

This study illustrates how user-generated content, posted in the form of heritage site reviews on social media, can serve to reveal the relationship between the co-created interpretation of World Heritage Sites (WHSs) — in terms of values, tangible and intangible attributes, as well as site visit logistics — and the emotional experience of the site. Two WHSs are taken as a case study. More than 2000 reviews were retrieved from TripAdvisor and analyzed through the application of a mixed-method that integrates qualitative digital ethnography and machine learning. Results show that TripAdvisor reviews capture tourists’ emotional reactions from personal encounters with heritage and provide insights into the range of values — including the social, historic, and aesthetical values — that visitors experience when engaging with aspects of the past to associate meanings for the present. Results also show that the relation between experiences gained at WHSs and contextual aspects is not linear, instead, it is a complex one that results from the interaction of different factors and their associated sentiments. We discuss our results by reflecting on their theoretical and practical implications.
