Sustainable tourism and socio-cultural challenges

Abstract

The strategic territorial planning is the basis for organizing development processes, as historical sites represent one of the most important components of tourism, and they certainly need control for preservation mechanisms and appropriate means for enhancing services with the aim of monitoring this process and reducing the cultural collision between the requirements of tourism projects and the culture of local communities. Therefore, social and environmental effects are essential to meet the needs of visitors, industry, the environment and host communities.
