“…The most recent publications on the matter do still not agree on the virtuousness of the induced and indirect outcomes (Dragouni & Fouseki, 2018;Elche, García-Villaverde & Martínez-Pérez, 2018;Chong & Balasingam, 2019); multiple recent case studies signal local factors as decisive, even from a global outlook (Ratten, 2023;Worku Tadesse, 2023, Zhang et al, 2023. It is however a challenge to maintain the complexity of uniqueness as an operational concept, and for communicational convenience, heritage may become oversimplified, or even abstract (Groth, 2023), in which case its tourism potential is much reduced.…”

The central purpose of this paper is to question to which extent local heritage may function as a facilitator for local tourism development. In other words, the often unremarkable nature of heritage components within the boundaries of a municipality is a common deterrent for successful commodification and marketization, yet they are always present in any local tourism plan. Two case studies, namely Oliveira de Azeméis in Portugal and Al Ain in the UAE, are used to substantiate this discussion, and to advocate for feasible, well-dimensioned approaches, both from a top-down and a community-based perspective.
