Description
Summary:In the context of the dialectical relationship between territory, heritage and tourism, this paper aims to advance in the search for keys to sustainability in heritage destinations, singular pieces of the territorial structures of the 21st century. This reflection is carried out from a territorial approach, discussing the possibilities that concepts like territorial heritage or the territorial heritage system could offer to broach the relationships and interdependence between heritage, territory and tourist destinations, with the aim of building upon the theoretical inputs of international documentation and summits. The territorial reading of heritage and the correct use of tools allow the inclusion of the social, cultural, landscape and functional dimensions to address specific aspects of heritage and tourism sustainability.
