“…In the case of routes that cross several countries or even continents (e.g., the Phoenician Way, the Roman Emperors and Danube Wine Route, the Silk Road, the Qhapaq Ñan, the Danube region), this approach can help countries to cooperate, communicate, and discuss with each other, and strengthen cooperation with international organizations such as the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the World Tourism Organization (WTO) [3,25,[44][45][46][47][48][49].…”

“…Accordingly, some places along the route seek to develop community-oriented and appropriate ways to preserve and utilize heritage sites. Community involvement raises local awareness of cultural and heritage preservation and increases community integration and people's sense of place [37,49,66]. Simultaneously, inhabitants are more focused on respecting local cultural heritage than attracting large numbers of tourists to increase economic benefits, which also contributes to more sustainable tourism development [23].…”

Cultural routes are a composite set of heritage sites that refer to historical routes of human communication. As key products of cultural tourism, they provide visitors with rich cultural experiences across regions. We systematically review reports and studies related to the tourism development of 38 cultural route cases worldwide, with a special focus on their distribution, typology, planning patterns, and tools for cultural tourism. We summarized eight tools and found some differences in how often these eight tools are used by the different types of routes and different planning patterns for route tourism. This study also developed an evaluation system based on the conservation principles of cultural routes to determine how different tourism tools affect the conservation and development of historical regions. Although tourism decision-makers have made numerous efforts to protect and develop cultural routes, there are still many problems and challenges in the process of tourism development along cultural routes. We conclude the paper by making recommendations for decision-makers and researchers concerning future route tourism planning and study.
