    Seminar Details

    With rapid growth in tourism as the flow of holidaymakers continues to rise in the traditional originating markets now joined by rapidly growing numbers from India, China, Russia and South America some World Heritage sites are under mounting, perhaps intolerable, pressure from the impacts the tourists and tourism businesses inflict on our most important cultural heritage sites. Experts will discuss how these impacts can be managed and what tourism business can, and should, do to help.
