“…Indigenous culture and local heritage are diverse and are able to offer a range of different experiences. For example, tourists flock to some famous heritages, museums and temples, such as the Angkor Wat, the Prambanan Temple, the Borobudur Temple and Potala Palace, and are exposed to unique local cultural and beliefs to histories, enshrine and worship [67,68]. Symbolized culture elements, such as indigenous festivals, indigenous music, cultural activities and food, are also popular cultural elements that are integrated into rural tourism to attract specific groups of tourists who have strong interests in different cultures [39,40].…”

Rural tourism plays an increasing role in sustaining sustainable rural development. Integrating culture in rural tourism is multifaceted. Local communities have often been regarded as homogeneous and different voices internally is selectively presented or re-interpreted by powers. A better understanding of how and why cultures are integrated into rural tourism is urgently needed. This paper aims to investigate: (1) what are the aims and motives of tourism managers to integrate cultural concepts into rural tourism; (2) who has participated in the cultural integration process; and (3) how cultures have been integrated into rural tourism. Based on a scoping literature review, we find that cultures could add more attractions, such as historical heritage, artwork, cultural landscape, customs, food, and language, to the natural landscape and bring more tourists to rural areas. However, integrating cultures into rural tourism is not always successful. Conflicts of interests among different stakeholders are often found too. Some worst culture-integration cases even destroyed the original natural landscape and local cultures. While culture integration is complicated, injustice and preserve effects do not have to be a consequence of integrating cultures into rural tourism. Two-way communication among tourism provider, managers and demanders can mitigate disruptive outcomes and unlock positive social outcomes.

Rural tourism plays an increasing role in maintaining sustainable rural development. In-11 tegrating culture into rural tourism is multifaceted. Local communities have often been regarded as 12 homogeneous, and different voices within them are selectively presented or re-interpreted by pow-13 ers. A better understanding of how and why cultures are integrated into rural tourism is urgently 14 needed. This paper aims to investigate (1) the aims and motives of tourism managers to integrate 15 cultural concepts into rural tourism; (2) who has participated in the cultural integration process; and 16 (3) how cultures have been integrated into rural tourism. Based on a scoping literature review, we 17 found that cultures could add more attractions, such as historical heritage, artwork, cultural land-18 scape, customs, food, and language, to the natural landscape and bring more tourists to rural areas. 19 However, integrating cultures into rural tourism is not always successful. Conflicts of interest 20 among different stakeholders are also often found. Some of the worst cases of cultural integration 21 have even destroyed the original natural landscape and local cultures.

“…Consequently, cultural tourism is produced through the collaboration of sustainable tourism, tourism, and the cultural sector. As a result of the combination of tourism and culture, each cultural attraction is wealth in its own right, and none of them is more valuable than the others [53]. Not only does the combination of tourism and culture contribute to the conservation and preservation of cultural resources but cultural tourism on its own is a means of propaganda and advertisement.…”

Background: Tourism policies have a significant impact on the preservation, promotion, and overall performance of heritage sites for both domestic and international tourists. This review provides insights into the entities responsible for tourism policy formulation, the policy objective, and how the stated objectives are being realized while shedding light on their implications for sustainability, economic growth, and cultural preservation. The main objective of Nigeria's tourism policy is to protect and improve the nation's natural and cultural heritage. Many activities aimed at encouraging tourism development include planning, provision of infrastructure, taxation regime that supports tourism growth, education and training for tourism employees, marketing, legislation and regulation in order to protect and preserve tourist facilities as well as the country's natural resources, historical and cultural assets. The critical concern is the enforcement and effectiveness of regulations, specifically the probability of a policy successfully promoting sustainable and viable tourism development and management. Aims: This paper therefore investigates the influence of tourism policies on the performance of heritage sites in Nigeria and the need for policy review for improved performance of Nigerian heritage sites. Methodology: The qualitative research paradigm emerged from a comprehensive review of tourism policy literature in Nigeria. The examination of documents and research projects focused on various aspects of tourism policy planning and governance, policy formulation, policy objectives, and their implications for sustainability, economic growth, and natural/cultural heritage preservation. In the data analysis, the comprehensive review were presented with an interpretative narrative. Results: The findings revealed that Nigeria's tourism policy seeks to empower the tourism industry and position it as a key driver of economic growth, job creation, and cultural heritage preservation. However, the policy's ability to achieve its goals optimally has been significantly hampered by lack of relevant mechanisms to measure overall levels of compliance, overreliance on petroleum resources, poor planning, and inadequate participation of relevant stakeholders in policy formulation, implementation, and monitoring. Conclusion: Despite policies and frameworks, Nigeria's tourism sector, including cultural heritage sites, has failed to reach its goals, losing the economy numerous potential benefits. In order to address the current circumstances and ensure successful heritage site design, development, and management in Nigeria, there is an urgent need for revision of the country’s tourism policy objectives and adequate enforcement measures implemented to adapt to changing circumstances and priorities.
