Module 2: Cultural Heritage Conservation and Management

This module of the Cultural Heritage Conservation and Management course emphasizes the pivotal role of cultural heritage in sustainable tourism. Participants explore strategies to manage and preserve sites, tackling challenges such as over-tourism and climate change. Comprehensive documentation, collaborative conservation plans, and visitor management strategies are vital. Leveraging technologies like 3D scanning and promoting off-peak tourism fosters a balanced approach. Case studies, including UNESCO's management techniques and Japan's emphasis on cultural sensitivity, demonstrate successful strategies. Meteora's monasteries in Greece showcase effective solutions, such as designated entry points and guided tours, ensuring preservation while educating visitors.
