ABSTRACT A major attraction in Arctic tourism is the presence of indigenous cultures. However, many tourists have only limited opportunities to access indigenous culture and sites, as long as they are not spatially and temporally fixed. This puts museums at the center of attention and gives them a core role in portraying and interpreting indigenous heritage. A dual role with the responsibility to collect, preserve, use, and develop heritage while at the same time appealing to various visitor groups is challenging, not least in a time of Arctification, luring new visitor groups with various touristic imaginaries to the North. This article reports on an assessment of two indigenous museums in Arctic Sweden. The research reveals that the responsible managers at the museums are aware of the dual role of museums, and need to navigate in a complex environment of local and global expectations based on preconceived notions. The museums are important nodes, and contribute to place-making in peripheral localities in the North.

ABSTRACT The relationship between tourism and heritage has increased exponentially in recent years. According to the scientific literature, linking heritage to tourism promotes and improves the quality of the visitor experience. The main objective of this research is to identify the main heritage elements linked to tourism and the problems that may arise due to poor management of these heritage elements by the different stakeholders in the mountain region of Valencia, Spain. The study used a qualitative method involving interviews. A total of 15 semi-structured interviews lasting between 40 and 70 minutes were conducted in 12 mountain towns in the province of Castellón. The results indicate that there is a wide repertoire of very interesting heritage elements. However, the management of these elements is creating some problems that have had a negative impact on both the local population and visitors. This study has a series of implications for the various stakeholders. Firstly, these findings highlight the huge variety of heritage resources already in the area. Secondly, the study puts forward joint strategies for action in the field of heritage and tourism. Thirdly, we point out the risk of commoditization of tourism products for the natural and cultural environment of these rural areas.

ABSTRACT This study focuses on the impacts of war on cultural tourism within the context of northern Ethiopia, which is a known cultural tourism destination in the country. Ethiopia, one source of ancient civilization in the African continent, has kept a unique heritage treasure in different parts of its land. Its northern part is particularly rich in cultural heritage. During the ongoing war in northern Ethiopia, cultural tourism attractions were attacked, vandalized, pillaged and looted. The act of iconoclasm of historic photos and images was widely practiced. Therefore, this article appraises the impacts of this conflict on cultural institutions such as museums, historical halls and libraries and proposes resilience mechanisms in a post-conflict tourism landscape. The study is an exploratory study that employs qualitative research methods, including extensive systematic field observation, focus group discussions and in-depth interviews. The study findings indicate that the cultural institutions such as heritage houses, churches, mosques, museums, libraries and public spaces that express Ethiopian history and culture were damaged and pillaged during armed conflicts. Vandalism and iconoclasm were widely practiced in Dessie and Merho museums. Tourism infrastructure was damaged, and this, in turn, affected heritage tourism in the post-war periods.

ABSTRACT Museums around the world are recognizing their responsibility to repudiate violent legacies of colonialism and decolonize collections, exhibits and interpretation. In North America, decolonization has meant repatriating sacred artifacts, sites and bodies to Indigenous and other dispossessed people; presenting counter-narratives to white settler-colonial history; challenging racist, sexist and other negative stereotypes and histories; and teaching the legacies of violence against Indigenous Peoples, enslaved Black Africans and other groups brutalized by settler-colonialism. Decolonization also means Indigenous and other marginalized people telling their own stories, co-designing exhibits, and developing non-colonial alternatives to museums to research, preserve, celebrate and educate about their heritage and history. This paper examines the historical narratives found in Plimoth Patuxet living history museum alongside those presented by local Wampanoag People. Findings include an elaboration of settler-colonial, bicultural and decolonizing narratives. The paper concludes with a discussion on centering decolonizing narratives in museums.

ABSTRACT In the mid-2010s, the media reported a series of disturbances at heritage sites caused by visitors taking nude self-photographs or selfies. In this article, nude selfies are analysed as a visual practice, and it is discussed what they reveal about visually structured tourist encounters with heritage sites. It is argued that nude heritage selfies continue the practice of old European art visually linking nudity, heritage, and tourism. In fact, many of the violations that the visitors taking such selfies are accused of are relevant for the whole practice of global tourism. Consequently, nude heritage selfies allow discussions of broader cultural and social problems related to global heritage tourism.

ABSTRACT During the COVID-19 quarantine, reading increased worldwide and with it the demand for literary tourism. While previous research has examined the motivations for literary tourists, no generalizable theory has emerged. After analyzing the previous work on literary tourism, this study compared the applicability of parasocial interaction theory and co-creation theory for literary tourists. This study conducted four surveys of both literary society members and the general public. Most of the antecedents of co-creation theory were significant for literary tourists while two of the antecedents of parasocial interaction theory were applicable for the public, although the overall model was supported. For researchers, this is one of the first papers to apply social science theories to literary tourism. For literary destinations, partnering with literary societies can attract guests who want to help create the experience for themselves and other society members.

ABSTRACT We investigate success and sustainability factors for tourism offers based on intangible cultural heritage, such as traditional nature-related knowledge and practices, and propose an assessment framework for communities. Using examples from rural Austria, where such practices serve as tourism attractions in many communities, we demonstrate how ‘packaging’ knowledge and practices into tourism offers can contribute to sustainable tourism development with shared benefits in rural areas away from well-known tourism centres and attractions. Such activities also contribute to safeguarding and revitalisation of intangible cultural heritage and cultural landscapes in a sustainable manner, balancing entertainment, and educational/cultural values. Using a social constructionist frame and ethnographic case study approach, data from interviews with 19 stakeholders from four regions, selected through purposive sampling, were analysed and their experiences and perceptions were complemented by participant observations. Results of the thematic data analysis were categorised into different groups of sustainability and success factors building the assessment framework for tourism potential. We discuss factors such as mechanisms of stakeholder engagement and benefit sharing, and characteristics of good cultural interpretation and tourism experience by analysing good practices and flaws of the four case studies and provide recommendations for using the assessment framework in practice.

ABSTRACT The article presents the results of research on business models of industrial heritage tourism sites. A critical review of the literature was made and research was conducted on the basis of tourist attractions associated with the European Route of Industrial Heritage. Based on the research, components of the models were analysed and an overall sustainable business model for industrial heritage tourism enterprises was developed. The Business Model Canvas concept was used to analyse the components and prepare the business model, the value proposition of which was extended by social value.

ABSTRACT Extensive research has explored and emphasized the initiatives of both community participation and sustainable livelihood development in the contemporary world. However, studies on the interdependence of these two areas are limited, especially on the conditions and channels that facilitate community participation and the influence of community participation levels on different dimensions of sustainable livelihood. To explore the fundamental relationships among these growing important topics in the agenda of sustainable development goals, this paper proposes a conceptual framework linking all of the interrelated components by consolidating valuable insights from representatives of key community groups in the world heritage and tourism destination of Macao.

ABSTRACT The Griffins’ Route is a new transboundary tourist project, the idea and theme of which are based on common history and cultural heritage of the Duchy of Pomerania. The studies presented show differences in the perception of the route and particular facilities. These differences depend on the visitors’ country of origin, their emotional engagement, identification with the theme, and motives behind their trip. Different priorities in the interpretation of destinations have been observed as well. Moreover, the assessment of particular facilities and their representative role regarding the regional heritage have changed depending on the knowledge about the history of a place as well as its location and distance from the border. Reasons for these differences can be found in the complex history of the region, changes in borders and migration of people, especially after the Second World War. Changes of administrative, social and cultural factors have had their impact on the sense of identity and relations with neighboring countries. This paper concentrates on the perception and interpretation of the shared heritage, as well as shaping the tourist space around transboundary cultural routes.
