This is the purpose of this publication: to open a debate on the complex questions that
surround the relations between culture and tourism, tourism and development, tourism
and dialogue among cultures; questions that every decision-maker and actor engaged
in tourism should address before a tourism project is launched. This report presents
several of the operational projects implemented by, or with the support of, UNESCO,
to illustrate how cultural tourism policies developed in the spirit of the principles and
values contained in the texts, standard-setting instruments, declarations and recommendations adopted by UNESCO, are put into practice.
