Visitor Management is an innovative collection of case studies taken from cultural World Heritage Sites. Using examples from the worlds most significant archaeological and architectural legacies this book identifies the problems involved with site management.
Cultural World Heritage Sites are extremely attractive to contemporary visitors. This poses many problems for site management, notably the need to preserve a delicate balance between interpretation, conservation and the provision of visitor facilities.
