A Study on the Direction of Planning Tourism Products Using Local World Cultural Heritage

Gaya tumuli, designated as UNESCO World Cultural Heritage sites, offer significant potential for innovative tourism product planning that fosters direct engagement and empathy among local residents and tourists. By integrating distinctive regional values, identity, and festivals, these historical sites can provide diverse content experiences. The study suggests that linking Gaya tumuli with the history of the ancient kingdom of Gaya enhances their cultural significance, potentially creating new avenues for historical recovery, reconciliation, and cooperation between modern Japan and other regions. This approach leverages existing research, literature on cultural heritage, and historical data to propose a forward-looking strategy for tourism development.
