Tourists in Historic Towns: Urban Conservation and Heritage Management

Tourists in Historic Towns examines the relationship of culture, heritage, conservation and tourism development in historic towns and urban centres, debating the impacts of tourism on historic towns and the role tourism plays in conservation and urban continuity. The main focus of the book is medium sized historic towns and historic quarters which are attractive to the tourist market, but historic quarters in large cities and smaller rural settlements are not excluded. Alongside over a hundred examples of historic towns, five historic towns are discussed as case studies: Granada, Spain; York, England; Mdina, Malta; Antalya, Turkey and Quedlingburg, Germany.Aylin Orbasli is the author of 'Tourists in Historic Towns: Urban Conservation and Heritage Management', published 2000 under ISBN 9780419259305 and ISBN 0419259309.
