Heritage tourism

Heritage tourism focuses on visiting destinations or sites of cultural significance. The purpose is to educate travelers about the history and traditions of different regions, communities, and civilizations.

Heritage tourism includes a wide range of experiences, from exploring ancient ruins and historical landmarks to visiting cultural festivals. Many initiatives are part of larger preservation and conservation efforts to safeguard historical landmarks, traditional practices, and endangered cultural heritage.

Heritage tourism often benefits communities by promoting their crafts and services, which can be a primary source of income for local artisans, guides, and business owners.
