This article analyzes heritage resources for urban tourism in European cities. The authors note that the development and management of urban tourism has become a major challenge in many European cities. They are cradles of history and culture, of social and cultural life, rich in heritage buildings, but in many cases also areas in which economic, social and environmental problems are concentrated. The development of urban tourism is expected to rebalance the urban economy, by generating new activities and by regenerating rundown districts. The revitalization potential of tourism strongly depends on the presence of resources which can be developed into tourist attractions, on the financial capacity of public and private partners to do so and on political will. The key issues in this process of developing tourism as a vehicle for urban revitalization are the way heritage resources are being transformed into tourist products, the concern to conserve the cultural identity of places and, not least, the major challenge to develop views and strategies on urban quality management. |
