This book is an output of regional co-operation on cultural heritage in the Baltic Sea States. It congregates our regional perspective concerning relations and interactions between tourism and cultural heritage. Hereby we wish to open a dialogue between tourism and cultural heritage sectors on local, national and regional levels.
Our aim is to inspire and encourage both policy makers and practitioners to generate socially responsible approaches to tourism linked with cultural heritage. At the same time, we will enhance cross-sector competence of good governance and management of cultural heritage in connection with tourism approaches.
