Abstract
There is certainly a complex and longstanding relationship between World Heritage and tourism. There are of course numerous sites of world heritage List in India and abroad which is not only protected from tourisms perspectives only the reasons of protection, daily management, or issues of physical and perceptual access are much broader than tourism. The designation of world heritage status may fall upon sites, particularly urban sites, which already have some degree of tourist activity. Many World Heritage Sites are actively engaging in their own “transformation” into tourist destinations.
