The Her.cul.es International Summer Seminar

Participants of the Assisi Summer Seminar 'Tourism Management at World Heritage Site' provided insights into effective methodologies and assigned tasks for managing tourism at UNESCO World Heritage Sites, specifically focusing on Assisi's Basilica of San Francesco and other Franciscan sites. The seminar, held in July 2013, aimed to explore practical approaches to sustainable tourism management while preserving cultural heritage. By adopting a participatory perspective, the report offers valuable lessons for balancing visitor experience with site conservation, particularly relevant for World Heritage Sites facing increasing tourism pressures.
