Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue “A 360° View of Heritage Management” strives to comprehensively explore the multifaceted landscape of heritage management. Traditionally, heritage—understood in its broadest sense—was the domain of historians and archeologists, but the reality is that multidisciplinary teams are essential and tend to yield the best outcomes in heritage management. Thus, this Special Issue covers a variety of dimensions including heritage tourism, sustainability, economic impacts, social and cultural facets, and historical and bibliographic studies. Heritage tourism management, once relegated to the realm of tourism practices, has transcended its traditional borders, evolving into a multidisciplinary domain shaped by the forces of globalization, cultural exchange, sustainability imperatives, and the burgeoning phenomenon of heritage tourism. The Special Issue serves as a platform for scholarly research, inviting contributions that not only examine conventional aspects of heritage but also illuminate its intersections with other disciplines and contemporary social trends. Key thematic areas include the fundamental role of heritage in promoting tourism, the imperative to adopt sustainable practices, socio-economic ramifications, and innovative approaches to managing heritage management companies. Scholars are encouraged to submit papers that offer nuanced analysis and new perspectives, thereby enriching our collective understanding of heritage management through a global, interdisciplinary lens.
